Dear Madhudvisa Maharaja,
Please accept my blessings. I have accepted the two Melbourne devotees for initiation as recommended by you and their names are given as follows:
Charles of the Sea—Praceta dasa
Christian—Camari dasi
Please instruct them in the ten offenses to chanting and hold a fire yajna there. You may chant on their beads.
Your ever well-wisher,
A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami
You complain that as a householder it is very difficult. Especially you want to preach. There are examples of great preachers who were householders, such as Bhaktivinode thakur, although we cannot hope to imitate him. You have not mentioned whether you are attending the activities of the temple and associating with the devotees in Melbourne, and these things are essential. Madhudvisa Swami is my representative in charge of devotional affairs in Australia and if you will discuss the specific situation with him, he will see that you become engaged in work just suitable to your situation as a householder.
In Melbourne, I saw one devotee girl who looked almost exactly like Himavati. Therefore I asked about her. Yes, she is welcome here if she likes.
