Ādi-kesava — November 14, 1976

New York 

My dear Ādi Kesava, 

Please accept my blessings. I am in receipt of your letter dated 3/8/76 which has just now reached me. 

Upon your recommendation I am pleased to accept the boy you have recommended for initiation. His new name is Giridhari dasa. Please make sure he knows to strictly follow the four regulative principles and chant a minimum of sixteen rounds daily avoiding the ten offenses. Hold a fire sacrifice. Tamala Krsna may chant on his beads. 

Hoping this will meet you in good health. 

Your ever well-wisher,
A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami
