My Dear Madhudvisa Swami:
Please accept my blessings. I beg to acknowledge receipt of your letter dated dated September 6, 1974 and have noted the contents. Upon your recommendation I am accepting the following as my initiated disciples.
1. Mr. Ashok Jeram Patel—Astasiddhi dasa
2. Ian Saller—Yamalarjuna dasa
Please see to it that they follow strictly the four regulative principles and chant 16 rounds minimum daily on the beads.
I hope this meets you in good health. You may chant on their beads.
Your ever well wisher,
A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami
