# Jagadisa Dallas My dear Jagadisa, Please accept my blessings. I beg to acknowledge receipt of your letter dated December 10th, 1975. I accept all the recommended devotees as my duly initiated disciples. Now hold a fire ceremony, and instruct the new devotees to chant 16 rounds daily and follow the regulative principles of devotional service. Their initiated names are as follows: Bhakta Benoit—Jayagovinda das Bhakta Arthur—Sadapusta das Bhakta Alain—Paranagra das Bhakta Michel—Vidyaraja das Bhaktin Louise—Sarada dasi Bhaktin Elizabeth—Ambhoda dasi Bhaktin Joyce—Syamaballabha dasi I accept Medhya devi dasi for brahminical initiation. She should hear the mantra from the tape recording through the right ear. Brahmin initiation means to keep very clean-inside by chanting the Lord's glories, and outside by regular bathing. See that she is instructed on all these things. I hope this meets you in the best of health. Your ever well-wisher, A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami ACBS/tkg
