Buenos Aires, Argentina

Fast approaching

The Chariot Fest fast approaches, mañana (tomorrow) to be exact. Many visitors from different locations in the country have arrived. From outside Germany, comes a monk, Bhakti Bhushana Swami, a wonderful peaceful monk if ever I knew one. I already mentioned about Mahavishnu Swami, who’s from the U.K. And then there’s myself, from Canada.

I met Mark, a New Yorker, now living in Santa Fe, who was startled to hear a kirtan party in one of the sections of Buenos Aires where he was on an art assignment. He sought out the temple and came over. Nice guy.

I also met Ricardo, an Ayur-Vedic therapist. He agreed to work on my stiff thighs, so we made a much-needed appointment. I now have happier legs.

I have been coming to Argentina since 2006 so I’ve become acquainted with many of the youth, whom I’ve engaged in the plays in the past. Two brothers are now members of a band, playing at nightclubs. It’s not what I recommend, but I’m glad they love Krishna and I’m glad they come around.

A fourteen-year-old, the son of one of my disciple students, asked me what I thought about his school teacher asking him to accept Jesus in his heart. I explained that Krishna is that heavenly father that Jesus talks about. So, both father and son give good guidance, but to compare notes, Krishna, though the disciplinarian, is more fun and you can accept both persons as guides.

May the Source be with you!
