Please accept my blessings. I hereby accept the devotees you have recommended for first and second initiation. Enclosed are three threads and six gayatri sheets for the second initiates. Hold a fire yajna, after which they may listen to the mantra once through the right ear from the cassette tape I have made.
The spiritual names of the first initiates are as follows:
Patrick - Khandaparasu dasa
Don Pearson - Dravinaprada dasa
All the devotees should collect Guru-daksina and send it to Karandhar in Los Angeles.
I hope this meets you well.
