Todas las glorias a usted su santidad Hanumat presaka swami!!!

Permitame presentarme,mi nombre es esteban badano,le escribo desde luján,bs as. Me dirijo a usted atraves de su discípulo Adi yagña das quién me dió su contacto.gracias a Adi,pude conocerlo a usted querido y respetado gurudeva!

Hace varios años que visito el templo y estoy muy agradecido a KRSNA por la inmenza misericordia de permitirme la asociación con los devotos.actualmente viajo al templo cada 15 dias para asistir a las clases de Bhagavad Gita y participar de Gaura Arati.

Presto servicio en el templo ayudando a los cocineros cuando hay festivales y celebraciones. También escucho sus maravillosas clases y estoy haciendo el curso de bhakti sastri. Vivo con mi señora,con quien compartimos 19 años juntos. Vivimos en el medio del campo a orillas de un rio muy tranquilo,rodeados de vacas y caballos. Juntos leemos el Srimad Bhagavatam estudiandolo y comentandolo.aquí, diariamente canto mis rondas con mucho entusiasmo y alegria.

Soy dibujante de profeción y como siempre viví en lugares naturales también me dedico a la agricultura.

Le escribo para preguntarle que debo hacer y que requisitos cumplir para poder tomar refugio en usted y para poder ser inciado en algún momento.

Me gustaria que usted sea mi diksa gurú,para poder tomar sus instrucciones formalmente,querido gurudeva. Siento mucho cariño por el señor KRSNA y me atrae mucho la filosofia vaisnava. Siento gran admiración y respeto por Srila Prabhupada y me gustaria agradecerle a todos los acharias prestando mis servicios. Deseo poder avanzar en conciencias de KRSNA y crecer en mi camino espiritual, si es posible a traves de su guía.

Le envío mis respetuosas reverencias y un fuerte abrazo querido gurudeva!!

HARIBOL!!!!!

All glories to Srila Prabhupada!!

All glories to you His Holiness Hanumat presaka swami!!!

Allow me to introduce myself, my name is Esteban Badano, I am writing from Luján, Buenos Aires. I am writing to you through his disciple Adi yagñadas who gave me his contact. Thanks to Adi, I was able to meet you dear and respected gurudeva!

I have been visiting the temple for several years and I am very grateful to KRSNA for the immense mercy of allowing me to associate with the devotees. Currently I travel to the temple every 15 days to attend the Bhagavad Gita classes and participate in Gaura Arati.

I serve in the temple helping the cooks when there are festivals and celebrations. I am also listening to your wonderful lectures and am doing the bhakti sastri course. I live with my wife, with whom we shared 19 years together. We live in the middle of the field on the banks of a very calm river, surrounded by cows and horses. Together we read Srimad Bhagavatam, studying it and commenting on it. Here, I chant my rounds daily with much enthusiasm and joy.

I am a professional cartoonist and as I have always lived in natural places, I also dedicate myself to agriculture.

I am writing to ask you what I must do and what requirements I must meet in order to take refuge in you and to be able to be initiated at some point.

I would like you to be my diksa guru, so that I can take your instructions formally, dear gurudeva. I am very fond of Mr. KRSNA and I am very attracted to Vaisnava philosophy. I have great admiration and respect for Srila Prabhupada and would like to thank all the acharyas rendering my services. I wish to be able to advance in KRSNA consciousness and grow on my spiritual path, if possible through his guidance.

I send you my respectful obeisances and a big hug dear gurudeva!!

HARIBOL!!!!!

HpS - AgtSP! - Paoho.

So nice to meet you.

We are trying to develop ability as cartoonist.

We are looking at lessons given by people like Alphonso Dunn on the YouTube. We like the style of Charles Schultz and Dr. Seuss.

You seem to be advancing very, very nicely!

Super.

We have stop serving as Diksa guru.

In some ways it is a formality. Of course, not without meaning, but you take Karma when you do these sacrifices, and our body is too old for that.

This is natural.

Are there nice devotees in Argentina who are doing this function.

Yadunandana Swami is Spain is doing Dika, initiation. He is very nice devotee.

I think Adi or Nikunja can put you in touch with him.

We can serve as Sika guru up to our level of realization, but in general just develop your relationship with Srila Prabhupada as Guru for all of us and you will get personal inspiration from him how to advance in purification, power and beauty.

O.K?

We will try to share some of your art.

Get your suggestions.

Please share some of yours.

Hare Krishna, accept my obeisances to Srila Prabhupada.

From Santiago again, maybe you remember me.

First of all, i wanted to ask...and give something useful perhaps. This last time i have finished some grades in Neuropsychology and Arts, i mostly write about aesthetic philosofy, and i have the collection of Srimad Bhagavatam...

I am writing to you, because i have an interested in being of use. I have been working on scientific researsh for years, writing articles for the university or for magazines...and i would like to contact your servants to send them these articles for your analysis. I want to help you in you sankirtan with Solaris magazine.

I have also interviewed great people from France, and Europe who may be part of you proyect, architect, academics, artist. Everything is written, for publication.

For example, in my tesis about of Ecology, i contacted with the philosopher Luc Delannoy and his institute Neuro-Arts, or the artist Ettienne de France from Paris, a conceptual artist,... many people; and i would like to give away this material.

Prabhu Carlos Rold has given me his information and the contact of Abhirama waiting for a response...Articles may need English translation and better design. Any recommendation...at your service.

HpS - ASA - Esteemed Cynthia F.

In English there is the phase, "The squeaky wheel gets the grease". So, if you don't get a response from Abhirama and the 'Solaris' team, then continue to push them. Maybe even you should take over 'Solaris' and become the editor.

Have you done any reading of Carl Jung?

Hare Krishna, Devotees

A major change has been made to the 10-year multi-entry visa to India, I learned the hard way.

Today I was planning to move permanently to Vrndavan, my friend Pancagoda Prabhu the TP of Vrndavan, we were flying together. He asked me what type of visa I have, I said the same one for the past 30 years. He said go check I believe changes were made

Before I/we could stay 6 months, do a border hop and return for 6 months. No more! Now we can stay 6 months but....have to stay out of the country 6 months. No more border hops

Needless to say I didn't go.

Now my desire is to return to the states and my desire is Tennessee. I hope Krishna makes that a reality

I hope my bad news was helpful

HpS/ASA - AgtSP! Paoho. Thank you! We know several devotees who are in this Vanaprastha situation. Can pay maybe $500/month for rent and only want a little studio apartment, or even part of a house, where they can stay with devotees and be apart of the community.

Houston Temple is like that.

You don't need a full house. You are just four minute walk from restaurant, temple, arati, kirtan, so many programs, other devotees houses, parks, gardens, so if any one knows of single Vanaprastha accommodations please let us know.

Our mind is becoming more unstable day by day. With intelligence we can keep it working, and even use it well, but we certainly cannot plan on making plans and organizing projects.

Will we move to Houston for the Winter and Spring??? Will we stay in Tennessee, Radha Natabara Yatra?

Where is our Sankirtan place?

Where is our purification?

Gracias a sus bendiciones el festival salió muy bonito, en una atmósfera de colaboración y apreciación.

Me divertí mucho, mi distribución de libros de esas semanas estuvieron muy extáticas, muy agradecida con todo, y también pido disculpas si ofendí a alguien, aun tengo vena de comunicadora, la verdad se presenta con educación y con animo de ayudar, si en algo ayuda este informe a mejorar las cosas, me daré por satisfecha.

Hay una entrevista al que facilitó este servicio y al igual que yo estuvo a full, no todos desean que se publique, estoy segura que Ud. considerará que no hay nada de malo en el video.

Muchas gracias por sus bendiciones y muestras de apreciación. eso es lo que falta en la administración.

También una anécdota fue que llevaron a otro parque parte de la ambientación, permitiendo que el Sr. se detuviera mas tiempo antes de llegar a su destino final.

Thanks to their blessings, the festival turned out very nicely, in an atmosphere of collaboration and appreciation.

HpS - Super. Those who are chanting the Holy Names want to distribute them.

I had a lot of fun, my distribution of books in those weeks was very ecstatic, I am very grateful for everything, and I also apologize if I offended anyone, I still have a communicator vein, the truth is presented with education and with the desire to help, if anything help this report to improve things, I will be satisfied.

There is an interview with the person who facilitated this service and, like me, it was full, not everyone wants it to be published, I am sure that you will consider that there is nothing wrong with the video.

Thank you so much for your blessings and appreciation. that is what is missing in the administration.

Also an anecdote was that they took part of the setting to another park, allowing Mr. to stop longer before reaching his final destination.

I send you a word and video file, which is in Spanish, I include an appendix in English at the end of the most important thing.

How r u? How's it going that festival in which you are participating? Are you going to preach there?

Here I’m doing better, I started waking up earlier in the mornings, and overall chanting my rounds better, I’m trying to pronounce the word Krishna as you taught me with the tongue touching the palate, and I have a doubt about how Rāma it’s pronounced, quite frequently I’ve heard the Hindus also pronouncing the R as if almost touched the palate, is that OK?

HpS - Hare Krsna. Not sure. We just try to apply the pronunciation guide in the back of Srila Prabhuapada's books and ask any Oxford Sanskrtists who pass through.

Chant with meaning: Mommy! Mommy!

I set a goal for myself of avoiding having dinner on Friday night in order to wake up earlier on Saturdays, generally I avoid that meal but on that day I tend to celebrate the end of the working week, so how can I manage to be more disciplined in that area?

HpS - Before you offer any Bhoga to Krsna on Friday night just think about why eating light or not will help you on Saturday morning, no? Advance by cultivating intelligence for KRSNA

:::{Hare Krsna}:::

another thing I would like to please ask you about is regarding investing lakshmi, what would be a Vaishnava alternative for stock shares investing?

HpS - Srila Prabhupada had Atreya rsi Das invest by shares in companies as income for the trust funds for the Mayapura and Vrndavana Temples.

Atreya investigated the companies properly and then bought shares, membership.

Investing in Stock Market is not gambling if it is done as good, researched business.

Land (for Grains)

Cows (for milk)

Brahmanas (teachers)

are good investment.

Sriman Das bought house in good school distrivt in California. It was good investment. Land and Brahmanas.

Also if one would like to invest in third party’s commercial projects, which industry’s areas could be better options?

I felt very identified with the Deva-Vrata’s letter your referred me, about the Jesus Christ subject, I always as well felt very very identified with him and his teachings.

HpS - So does Srila Prabhupada. His sincerity of appreciaton probably make our seem like vanity!

Currently I’m reading a book called Atomic Habits, and I’m founding it of so much benefit, learning to set to myself goals, try to stick to the habits which lead to them, and building a whole new life, one step at a time.

ASA - 👍

Also I’m organizing myself with specific plannings for the things I need to buy for improving my service and sadhana, and for other areas of my life.

I’m enjoying myself with a sense of progress.

thank you very very much Maharaj!

hope everything it’s more than well over there!

your servant,

Federico

HpS - ASA -- We heard from Cakravarty Das that SP said, "Become self realized, build your character and preach."

Do you think the whole world should read the big two volume edition of the KRSNA book! We do. Along with that Vedabase,Io version is great!! Balarama preaching to Rukmini.
