Letter to: Kirtanananda
Mayapur 14 June, 1973 73-06-14
New Vrndavana
My dear Kirtanananda Maharaja,
Please accept my blessings. I am in due receipt of your letter dated June 6, 1973 and have noted the contents with great care and concern.
I am very pleased that the corner stone function was nicely done and successful. Continue the work enthusiastically. Thank you very much for the check for $200.
I am slowly regaining my health. It is now the rainy season here and accordingly the digestive process is slowed down. Therefore the rainy season means slow recovery.
I was just thinking of you and wondering why I hadn't heard from you in a long time. You'll be pleased to know that your assistant Srutakirti is here. He's feeling all right. This boy appears to be a very sincere devotee.
Upon your recommendation I am pleased to accept the devotees you have recommended for first and second initiation. You may chant on the beads of the first initiates and I am enclosing six sanctified sacred threads for the second initiates. Play the tape of me reciting gayatri mantra into the right ear of the brahmanas. The names of the first initiates are: Jim HesslerKrpacarya das; Jack MowerKasyapa das; Chuck St. DennisCakradhari.
Hoping this meets you in good health.
Your ever well wisher,
A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami P.S. On top of the towers on the temple, you should make Visnu's colus (or cakra) and a flag.
