Hare Krishna, Guru Maharaja. Please accept my humble obeisances. All glories to Srila Prabhupada.

Since the beginning of this year, I've been contemplating the benefits of taking second initiation. I remember how you often mention in your classes that first initiation is experimental, and that real initiation is second initiation. At the time of second initiation is when Krishna accepts one as similar to Himself.

Guru Maharaja, I wake up at 3:45 AM daily, chant my rounds, do Mangala Arati, and listen to SB and BG classes. I wanted to humbly request for second initiation from you. I received first initiation in 2017 and have seriously kept my vows since then. I think that second initiation will help me achieve a greater degree of purity, cleanliness, and punctuality to serve Krishna.

If you bless me with second initiation, I wish to serve Sri Sri Jagannath, Baladeva, Subhadra, and Gaura Nitai along with my parents, after the grand opening of our temple on October 3rd.

Your servant,

Sugopi Radha Devi Dasi

HpS - It is fait accompli. We are struggling to be good machines for our Spiritual Master but we have challenges from being in foreign country, needing to use an old donkey etc.

Have you done the Bh. Sastri course? I think so.

When shall we have the ceremony?

Need a letter from The Piyari-mohan Das.

What useful are you learning in Yale?

Any friends, students or teachers of KC there?
