<span class="link">[[Vanisource:Letter to Bala Krsna -- Vrindaban 23 October, 1976|Letter to Bala Krsna -- Vrindaban 23 October, 1976]]: </span><div style="display: inline;" class="text"><p style="display: inline;">I am in due receipt of your letter dated October 6, 1976.</p>
<p>Your report of book distribution is very encouraging. Please go on increasing more and more. Yes, you should become the topmost temple for distributing my books. This is a very good proposal. That is the only way to please me. Distribute my books profusely. That is real preaching.</p>
<p>The girl who has got health problems must learn to be tolerant. As long as the material body will be there, there will only be pain. Pleasure is a misconception.</p>
<p>Upon your recommendation I will accept as my duly initiated disciples the following devotees. Make sure that they strictly follow the regulative principles and always chant a minimum of 16 rounds, avoiding the 10 offenses. Hold a fire sacrifice and have Ramesvara Maharaja chant on their beads. I also enclose one sacred thread and gayatri mantra sheets for the devotees you have recommended. They should also participate in the fire ceremony. Their new names are as follows:</p>
<p>Ken Reilly—Krsnacandra dasa</p>
<p>Curt Halberstadt—Kunja-bihari dasa</p>
<p>Bryan Baxter—Varaharupa dasa</p>
<p>Craig Escalante—Kurma-rupa dasa</p>
<p>Debbie Escalante—Dasarathi dasi</p>
<p>Sheila Halvie—Syama-priya dasi</p>
<p>Hoping this will meet you in good health.</p>
