Dear Ramakanta prabhu,

PAMHO, AGTSP!

But the first sentence of the letter to Revatinandana says:

 

"...so I think now you may be appointed by me to give first initiations to

new disciples by chanting on their beads on my behalf. (SPL Revatinandana, 4

January 1973)

 

And makes clear reference to Kirtananda as being authorised to do the same:

 

In America Kirtanananda Swami is going that. (SPL Revatinandana, 4 January

1973)

 

Thus they were to give 'initiations' on his 'behalf'. The only thing that is

ludicrous is your desperate attempt to distract from your own defeat.

 

Where is your evidence supporting YOUR interpretation. This is the FIFTH

TIME of asking?

 

best wishes,

ye

Yadu
