770606 - Letter to Kirtanananda from Tamal Krsna

Vrndavana,

June 6, 1977

From: Tamal Krishna

My dear Kirtanananda Maharaja,

Please accept my humble obeisances at your feet.

I approached His Divine Grace Srila Prabhupada regarding the initiations recommended by your good self. Srila Prabhupada said that for now he will not be initiating anyone new until his health improves. His Divine Grace did not suggest any alternative at this time but simply said that everyone should wait. This is true for both first and second initiations. Kindly inform Ramesvara Maharaja to inform all the GBC men throughout the world that until further notice no new recommendations for initiation should be sent to Srila Prabhupada.

Srila Prabhupada’s health has not at all improved. Dr. Ghose, who we were waiting for, has finally arrived, but he is not very hopeful of Srila Prabhupada’s condition. Hoping this meets you well.

Your servant,

Tamal Krishna Gosvami

Secretary to Srila Prabhupada
