<span class="link">[[Vanisource:Letter to Yasomatinandana -- Mayapur 18 January, 1976|Letter to Yasomatinandana -- Mayapur 18 January, 1976]]: </span><div style="display: inline;" class="text"><p style="display: inline;">I accept Sriman Ram das and Sriman Dayasara das for second initiation. Their sacred threads are duly chanted on and are enclosed. Brahmin means to be clean—inside by always chanting the Lord's glories, and outside by regular bathing. Brahmin also means pandita, so they must be able to support their preaching by quoting sastric references. Particularly, they should study Bhagavad-gita, Sri Isopanisad, Nectar of Devotion and Nectar of Instruction as well as all the small paperbacks. There will be a yearly examination for all Brahmins based upon these books.</p>
<p>Now you must hold a fire ceremony. Afterwards, the brahmanas may hear the Gayatri mantra through the right ear from the tape recording. Teach everyone to follow the principles by your personal example.</p>
<p>I hope this meets you well.</p>
