Unfortunately I don’t have any photo of myself to send to you.
Maybe when you come to Vrindavan we can have a photo taken

If you have a tape copying machine you could bring about 30
cassettes (blanks) and copy some Prabhupada lectures.

Another item of good news is that you are now preparing
seriously for taking formal initiation into Krsna consciousness.
This is a serious commitment that, “Now let me prepare to fully

do whatever is necessary to that end.” Initiation means becoming
very serious so it is very good that you are coming to this point.
Of course, initiation is not the end, but rather the beginning, of
our real life of deep absorption in Krsna consciousness.

As you have asked if there is anything you can bring from B,
please bring a little maha-prasadam from the Deities. If there
is any special style of cloth being made there you might want to
bring some as a gift for Srimati Radharani on Her birthday. You
can consult the pujaris there as to what might be suitable.
