Moratorium Statement

As of 19 January 2012, I will NOT be giving any 1st, 2nd (gayatri), or sannyasa initiations.

Exceptions:

  1. Those to whom I’ve promised initiation before my first moratorium (on 6 November 2003) on initiations.
  2. Sons, daughters, parents and spouses of those I’ve initiated.
  3. Second (Gayatri [Brahmana] initiation to those to whom I’ve given first initiation.
  4. Those who've taken shelter of and receive instructions (siksha) from devotees who I have initiated (first or second).

Note: I’ll generally follow these procedures, however in special circumstances and on rare occasions, I may give initiation to people who are not in these categories.
