 Dear Badrinarayan and Dhira Govinda Prabhus, (Please put this on record in
 the testimony file against Nitai Chand)

 In March of 1998 | heard from a trusted friend who testified to me that
 while he was an ashram teacher in Mayapur gurukula, one of his boythe s was
 continually missing at night and not in his bed. When he questioned
 boy, the boy would tell him it was no big deal and he was with Nitai Chand
 Maharaj, not to worry. This happened repeatedly and the tea                    cher brought it
 to the attention of his gurukula authority. He was expelled from the
 school the next day and labeled a "troublemaker".

 few weeks ago.)

 Can we get her testimony on record?
