# Pancadravida Buenos Aires My dear Panca Dravida Maharaja, Please accept my blessings. I am in due receipt of your letter dated 3, September, 1976 and have noted the contents with care. On your recommendation I am accepting the following as my duly initiated disciples. *First Initiation* Bhakta Gustavo—Gunesvara dasa Bhakta Damian—Deva-srestha dasa Bhakta Marceline—Mathura-mandala dasa Bhakta Javier—Japananda dasa Bhakta Kique—Kasi Misra dasa Bhakta Osvaldo—Agnipati dasa Bhakta Juan—Sacisuta dasa *Second Initiation* Caitanya Svarupa das brahmacari Nitya Tripta das brahmacari Hold a fire sacrifice and Hrdayananda Maharaja may chant on the beads. Give the bead, threads, and names at this time and the gayatri mantra may be heard by tape through the right ear. All initiated disciples must chant at least 16 rounds of Hare Krishna Maha-mantra daily on the beads and the brahmanas must remain clean outside by regularly bathing and clean inside by chanting the maha-mantra. I hope this meets you in good health. Your ever well-wisher, A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami ACBS/hs
