Dear HH Hanumat Presaka Swami, please accept my humble obeisances. All glories to Srila Prabhupada.
I have been an aspiring disciple of yours for many years and I would like to ask you for formal initiation. I have been chanting at least sixteen rounds everyday and following the four regulative principles strictly for two and a half months.
I have had a regular service here at the Boise temple for most of the year. Consisting of landscaping, lawn maintenance, construction projects and taking the trash out every week.
Every week I attend and help with the Monday night program. Every Sunday I associate with Balabhadra Prabhu and every other Sunday I attend his Bhagavad Gita class.
I also regularly associate and take instructions from the Gupta family.
Also, Mother Kamagayatri and I are co-parenting Aja Narayana very nicely and I have much respect and admiration for her and her husband.
Please let me know what further steps I need to take.
Thank you and Hare Krishna,
-Nick
HpS - It is so, so, so, nice to hear from you. Basically you just have to continue doing what you are doing. That will present enough challenges and chances to advance.

Hope to hear from you soon. Don't think that following discipline means to reduce creativity. Only when it increases creativity, with a little patience, is it proper.
