Hare Krishna!

Guru Maharaja,

Please except my humble obeisances

All glories to Srila Prabhupada!

All glories to you!

We are looking forward to your trip in Feb. to Texas. Can't wait to see you Guru Maharaja!

I'd like to (as humbly as possible) ask for 2nd initiation. I have been more and more requested and encouraged by devotees to take 2nd initiation to increase my service to Srila Prabhupada and Their Lordships Sri Sri Radha-Kalachandji.

Nityananda Prabhu - approves and agrees I should take 2nd

Manjuali Mataji (TP's wife) - asked that I cook for Sri Sri Radha-Kalachandji which requires 2nd initiation

Chandravali Mataji (Head pujari) - asked I take 2nd to do deity worship for Their Lordships

Arjuna Krishna Prabhu (Tamala Krishna Goswami disciple and long time resident of Radha-Kalachandji Dham) - encourages me to take 2nd initiation

Srinatha Krsna Prabhu (Also your disciple here in RK Dham) - agrees and approves my taking 2nd initiation

Jaya Guaranga Prabhu (15 year bramachari in the LA Temple now living here in RK dham with his family and is a pujuari of RK) - also encouraged me to ask/take 2nd imitation

In addition to others in our community encouraging to take 2nd.

We really just want to be good Sankirtan men. We recently have been engaged in a new service here as Director of Krishna House in Dallas. Along with this we will be in the temple office as a congregation/community services head. Also, maintaining our service directing our western preaching outreach program (previously called Darshan Room). This is a full time service and the temple management has agreed to help us monetarily in a degree that my wife feels comfortable in her and the families security. Aditi and I discussed it using our intelligence, thinking about our childrens security including college, what if it doesn't work out what will be our back up plan ect. Also with the intelligence that it is in line with our nature and a service that makes since for us. Kalakanatha Prabhu is confident that we can do great things in this service with Krishna House. We hope that it pleases you Guru Maharaja and Srila Prabhupada.

We want to add quite a bit more but will save it for further blogs or when we see you here in Texas.

Haribol!

Your disciple,

Nanda-braja das

ASA/TB - AgtSP!! Paoho... Yeah! Sounds great, becoming a second initiate!

Do you have to dress like a Ku Klux Klan guy and wear funny robes?

Guess not. Don't see Pujaris doing that!

Sounds great.

We asked HpS, and he said, got a Bh. Sastri diploma? Required in Kala chandji Dhama?

Should be a fun, practical affair.

Think your kids are going to be Super People.

AgtSP!

Now we write our DTC.

Please stay in touch.
