Reference letters for Star To Whom It May Concern, This is in reference to Star Sevadar. Star is a most generous, caring and giving person who has helped me during a very difficult time in my life. He is reliable, trustworthy, honest, gentle, kind and sincere. Not only did he generously give of his finances to assist me in my relocation to Santa Cruz but also provided a warm and safe shelter, food, bus fare and other minor expenses. He enabled me to create, print and distribute flyers so that I could find room, board and salary here in Santa Cruz. He has taken precious time from his life to personally assist me in getting to know the area, health food stores, obtain food, clothing and make contacts with the right people. He is a Saint who gives unconditional love and assistance to any pure soul in need. Star is highly recommended as friend, worker and confidante. Sincerely, Iona M Little star asked me to vouch for his trustworthy character so I am writing this letter on his behalf. Starting three years ago and ending last august I have been a half-time (20 hrs. a week) resident intern at a non-profit organization in Palo Alto, California, called Magic Inc., which maintains a residential community of about 14 folks. They are a combination of renters interested in playing a part in the community, full time resident fellows who run the non-profit, full and part time interns, and children. I got acquainted with Little Star over the course of numerous over night stays he made at Magic, on his way to other parts of California, or to the San Francisco International Airport. He had been a resident intern like myself for at least a year I believe long before my time with the organization. Ever since, the resident fellows have welcomed Little Star to use Magic as an over-night way station. He has always respectfully called ahead to see if space was available and in my opinion has maintained the relationship with folks at Magic by aiming to be very considerate. (Nothing stolen, not an intrusive or demanding presence etc.) On first meeting him I was a bit nervous because of his intense gaze. Three visits later we talked in more depth. I told him about my aspirations to do good. He respected that. He spoke with enthusiasm about a man he had taken on as his guru and about his spiritual path. He was sensitive enough not to push his spiritual world-view on me. Our conversations since then all in passing have been congenial, and now we run in to each other on occasion at the UC Santa Cruz library where I go to school. If you wish to contact me directly with any questions you can e-mail me at r*@*.com or call me at my home phone whose number is *. Sincerely, Ronald *
Date: Wed, 23 Jun 2004 From: G*@*.com To Whom It May Concern: Star came to visit my son and I in Mexico. He was there for a week or so, and he was courteous, trustworthy, and helpful. We felt safe with him visiting us, although we had not met him in person before this. Sincerely, Cami
Date: Tue, 20 Jul 2004 Greetings... this letter is to attest that I, Naomi Gongola, have had the chance to get to know Brother Little Star Sevadar and can positively state that he is a true and honorable man. I had the joy of sharing a living space with him for a few months, and within that time, his service was so great that i don't know what i would have done without him. Not only did he help me clean my house, but he helped with my chores and drove me to the airport at an insanely early hour with no complaints or expectations of any favors. When the time came for us to move out of the studio, he found a storage space and graciously let me keep my things in it free of charge. These are just some of the things he has done to help my life, and the things he has helped me with on an emotional, psychological, and spiritual level are quite frankly, hard to describe in words. If he is looking to live at your place, or on your land, i will attest to his hard work and dedication to preserving and sustaining the earth. it is his passion. If he comes off as an assertive type, or a little too talkative, I assure you it is out of his deep desire to do right and save sacred things from destruction. I have also known him to be very quiet at times, saying very little, and respecting my needs for silence and space. He would never hurt anything. Thank you for your time and consideration in helping out one of my lifelong friends. much love, naomi p.s. I am a school teacher and musician living in aptos, CA, if you were wondering how credible my word is. hopefully, these two peices of information can shed a little light about my own life. namaste To Whom It May Concern: Brother Little Star is the most sincere and committed, spiritually inspired and dedicated person I have ever encountered. He has given his entire life over to the pursuit of truth and a righteous living. He seeks only the betterment of humanity in everything he does. Of course, he also needs the betterment of his own living circumstances, so as to be in a more appropriate environment suited to his pursuits. He seeks to live in a way which is an alternative to the violent, destructive and exploitative means practiced generally in the modern world. I would recommend him for membership and inclusion in or residence at any community which would meet the requirements of a higher and better life and lifestyle. He means no harm. He aims singularly to practice the Good. I have known him since 1979, and this has always been the case.

I confirm that I have known(of):Brother Little-Star for 17 years.We have been(personally acquainted) for 6 years.We meet through our mutual membership in the:Natural Hygiene Community Network.We have worked on many/various Utopian Intentional Community projects,socialized and traveled together during that period. At all times I have found Brother Little-Star Sevadar to be: dependable, reliable, hard-working, conscientious, honest, peace-loving, courteous,resourceful and a tireless champion of ethics/morales and Utopian virtue. I'm happy to provide further information if required. Very Truly Yours Theodore * July 22, 2004 Ann * RE: Integrity of Brother Little Star To Whom It May Concern: I have known Brother Little Star a.k.a. "Star" mostly through email and phone conversations over the course of two years and have spent a brief amount of time with him in person while I was living in San Diego and he was travelling through. Although his granola type exterior with long hair, [vegan-Light-hiking-boots] and hiking gear may appear a little shocking to conservative corporate America, I know from my time spent with Star that he is a rare gentle-man with integrity who lives a simple nomadic life sharing his message of love, spirituality, meditation and vegan lifestyle. Yes he may seem a little "out-there" for the mainstream, with his ramblings and conversation tangents, however, his actions and how he lives his life by example are based on the strong spiritual practices he dedicates his life to. When I have been in transition and many others, Star has generously recommended and shared his treasured resources for vegetarian living and passion for ecovillages and his compassionate ear. I hope this clears up any misunderstandings about Brother Little Star's way of being. Sincerely Ann *
Subject: letter of recommendation To Whom it may concern, From the short time I have known Brother Little Star he has won my heart over due to his saintly qualities. He is simply an individual with principles and compassion from another planet. He has treated me with the utmost dedication, generosity and a place of pure friendship. Brother Little star will go out of his way for his friends to an extraordinary level. He has assisted me in finding a job and with my personal affairs by spending countless hours with no expectation of anything in return. He is a man that undeniably keeps his word. I have experienced how when he says he will do something for me, he will do it right away. For example getting a flight for me to see him. In person, he has treated me honorably and politely. From my observation of his conduct, honestly, compassion, and saintliness, I would say Brother Little star is to be trusted 100%. He is one of the most integral people I know and always puts other people's interests ahead of his. He is also a very pragmatic individual and has practical solutions to everything. I also highly recommend him to work with children because he has a lot of energy, patiences and love for children. I know this because of the way he speaks about wanting to be a dedicated, wise and generous father someday. Sincerely, [name removed to maintain privacy].
From: "Scott *" Hear ye' hear, Star has always been super nice to me. He has introduced me to musicians, devoting himself to developing community, who I have interacted with and also introduced to other friends. I don't know a whole lot about Star, except that he has never been anything but kind-natured and well-intentioned towards me. He has showed me notices for all sorts of events, although I have never gone yet, they all seemed pretty fun (I'm just not very available). Well, that's all I can say. Peace be with you, -Soup (Scott *)
brother CHRIS wrote: Ok star, you are a nice guy who has helped me before. I have met Little Star a couple of times at Meditation retreats I go to In Oregon. We both follow the same spiritual path that is based in love, unity acceptance and harmony. It is a path to achieve MAstery over our souls and become saints, if possible in this lifetime. Little star has been following this path I trust for many years and has the best intentions for himself and his brothers. He is as human as any of us, so I dont expect perfection from him or anyone, but I do know that he is a good guy with a big heart. I have also done some business interactions with him, selling him some of my artwork. Even though he was in California and I in Montreal, he kept to his part and paid me for it with no delays. I have trust in Little Star and I hope you do to. Love and Light, Chris So I dont know how much more to write, I havent really known you for more than a few weeks here and there... love and light, Chris Date: Wed, 17 Nov 2004 Dear Sir or Ma'am, I have know Brother Little Star for about a year and a half now, and want you to know that he is a sincere, intelligent, and unique person. We got to know eachother through several long phone coversations and met through an advertisment that he had posted for intentional communites online. Brother Little Star knows many people! He is a networking wizard. He speaks with a beautiful and firm voice of his ideas and dreams. He is a dreamer and a poet who knows how to make things happen. He is kind. I had the privelege to finally meet him in person in California in December 2003. I was on a journey to a raw food retreat, and he brought me grapefruits to eat while I sat at the halfway point of my journey at SFO. He is giving. He came all the way from the Santa Cruz area to do so! Please feel free to contact me should you have any further questions about this wonderful person. I am happy to be a reference for Brother Little Star's character. Very Truly Yours, Jill *
Date: Sat, 12 Nov 2005 13:54:07 -0800 (PST) November 11, 2001 [ Name Removed by Request of *Star as a courtesy so friend be not bothered ] PO Box ***** [ city was given ], CA [ postal zip code was given ] *@******.com To Whom it May Concern: I am writing this letter of recommendation on behalf of Little Star Sevadar, a person of the highest integrity, honesty, and generosity. Star is constantly looking for ways that he can be of service to humanity. Most recently he helped me move to California; this was a very involved project in which he contributed the following gifts with no expectation of being paid. Star gave: 1) Many hours of networking on the internet through which he connected me with my current home here in San Luis Obispo where I am surrounded by healthy people and healing energy. 2) Three days as my travel companion and moving assistant, lifting boxes, coordinating our route, and providing accomodations for us both. 3) Assistance with anything that I needed like practical advise on getting settled in the area, following-up to check on me even after we parted ways, and leaving me with special, thoughtful gifts like a new map of my new town and a head lamp that I can now use when riding my bike at night. It was with gratitude that I chose to give Star some monetary compensation for his assistance as a token of my appreciation. The value of this, however, was far less than the value of all that he gave to me. I feel it's safe to say that Star is one of the most unique people you will ever meet. He has dedicated his life to service, and I am thankful to have been one of the many recipients of his help. He is a man who can be trusted, and a person I'm happy to call my friend. Sincerely, { Name Removed by Request of *Star as a courtesy so friend be not bothered. }
