When, where and how did you come into contact with the Hare Krishna Movement?

I first heard the Maha-Mantra in England in 1969 as sung by the Radha Krishna Temple in the seventies in a round table in Rome Italy I met Somaka Swami Maharaja (deceased). Beginning of the eighties, selling milk I met some Krishna devotees in Cochabamba Bolivia and again met Somaka Swami Maharaja, in 1986 I was going to be initiated by Somaka Swami Maharaja, but the week before the initiation I was not chanting the sixteen rounds I asked to be initiated next time many things happened including the death of Somaka Swami Maharaja and in 1996 I had my first initiation by my Guruji H.H. Jaya Pataka . I built a center in Cochabamba Bolivia at the beginning of the two thousands after I met my guruji in Ecuador and during this time I got initiated in La Paz Bolivia. Now I am living in Hyderabad, where I met again my Guruji after a few years. I am 77 years old ,but I want to spread Krishna to the whole world. In the years 1993- 97 I was a member of the Bolivian Congress my guruji asked me to continue to be a deputy or senator, but I begged him not to continue there as it was very hard for my spiritual life, and said I will do more for ISKCON from outside, remembering the instructions he gave me: DEDICATE, PROPAGATE, COOPERATE. Instructions that I am trying to follow. To do this I have been working on a new science, that I have been working on for the last 50 years even before I was initiated. I call it the Science of Ubication and Equilibrium. I am working on it, with a low profile, I presented this science for the first time in November 2017 to 15 PHD professors that had different specialties, the professor of physics suggested: To prove the efficiency of this science I should write a paper Ph.D. level to prove its efficiency. One of the qualities of this science is to do almost anything in two thirds of the time. I accepted the challenge and looked into unsolved problems in physics "The Unified field Theory" . The third chapter of this paper had as subject Time, because of this I haven't published the paper yet, instead I have written a short book, called "What is Time" . I have finished the book which is going for copyrights. One of the chapters speak about God (Lord Krishna), not naming him intentionally, as there is much religious politics in the world, they would jump and try to make their name of God to be the only one, so because of this I want the scientific community of the world, first to accept that the Universe has a creator. I have some new discoveries about physics that could give me status, possible a Nobel prize, Honorary doctor degree etc. Srila Prabhupada went to America because if people accepted there Krishna Consciousness, other parts of the world would accept it easier. I will be sending a copy of what I have written to my Guruji through his secretary H.G. Maha Varaha. Hare Krishna A.G.T.J.P.S. P.S. Please always ask Lord Krishna for my Guruji's health.

Name the nearest or most frequently Visited ISKCON temple/ centre and name few of the devotees whom you know.

The temple near Abids rd. Sri Sri Radha Madan Mohan is the temple I have visited some time, Because of the lockdowns ,because I had Covid I am not going to the temple But with the blessings of Sri Krishna we ill try to buy an apartment near one of the 3 temples in Hyderabad. One of the devotees I remember is Sambhu prasad das, also the then temple president one of the pujaris and other administrative devotees, I stayed in the temples a few times as I used to live in Warangal before

Please describe yourself so that other like minded devotees can find you.

It is very difficult to describe myself ,but my only aim is to spread Krishna Consciousness all over the world, but for the moment I am working with a low profile. WHICH I WOULD LIKE TO MAINTAIN Until I obtain recognition from the science community. It should be after I publish my book.

What are your expectations from this community?

To be in touch so that When I start my propagation of Krishna Consciousness I can have some exchanges with you. I don't know yet which media I will use but they go from making short devotional movies, to webinars, devotional music, conferences in Universities, schools. I couldn't do this before because of my Visa status which was only for travelling purposes. With the blessings of My Guruji I have now OCI status now, anyway I am open to analyze different options. Only time is my limit because of my age.

Describe any specific service you would love to offer to Lord Krishna & His devotees?

SPREAD KRISHNA CONSCIOUSNESS ALL OVER THE WORLD. I am trilingual I can write and speak in Spanish Italian and English We could put subtitles to many Devotional films.
