Hare Krishna beloved Gurudev,

Please accept my humble obeisances,

All glories to Srila Prabhupada,

Here we are very happy cause we will see you soon. Having moved to Sri Govardhan was excelent. Spiritual life improved so much. Fmp 3 days a week, 16r4p ok.

I'm concern about my children's Spiritual life. We are trying to develop a Gurukula. Manu is very fond of reading. Prabhu Mahajan suggested to buy him Mahabharata by K M Ganguli cause by reading it they will learn dharma. The thing is that while english version is free available by gutemberg project, spanish edition cost 370 us dollars.

So the question is, do you think is worthy to spend so much money on it or I rather give him Srimad Bhagavatam? 

HpS - Hmm.  I don't know. I like Krsna Dharma's M'bharata and Ramayan. They are available in English on vedabase.com. Another is Purna-prajna Das. He wrote them for teenagers. All in English. Is the Ganguli translation in Spanish good?  The original was not written for teenagers. Did Swami Mahajana Das read it as an adult???

Borrow one volume and read it with The Manu and The Benjamin, no?

What would be your advice for his reading? He is 12 years old.

Thank you so much Gurudev.

Your fool disciple,

Nikunja bihari das.

HpS - Some of Srila Prabhupada's books in Spanish everyday with you. Others, but if he wants adventure then dovetailing Mahabharata as mentioned above.   Read  Don Quixote and do KC commentary???  Is there a teenager's Quixote?
