# Abhirama Coconut Grove, Florida My dear Abhirama das: Please accept my blessings. I beg to acknowledge receipt of your letter dated July 15, 1974 and have noted the contents. I have accepted the students upon your recommendation as my initiated disciples. Their spiritual names are as follows: David Milo Cramer—Dhruva das Ernest Czwal—Drsta das Thomas Gribble—Takrahari John Paul Gribble—Jagatsakha Ron Jermakakian—Rajakari Joseph Rizzo—Ragaputra Jerome Schein—Srisa Joseph Cyril Streb—Sarvopama Marsha Bryant—Manini Aurora Gribble—Akancani Farnie Spottswood—Srutirupa devi dasi Donna Tonkinson—Drsya John Jill—Jambavan As you have suggested, you may hold a fire sacrifice and the beads may be chanted upon by Rupanuga Prabhu. You should impress upon the new disciples that they are taking vows before Radha and Krsna, the spiritual master, and the Vaisnavas. They must always chant at least 16 rounds daily and avoid the four sinful activities. I hope this meets you in good health. Your ever well wisher, A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami ACBS/bs
