I was in for a pleasant surprise today morning chatting with Rupa Goswami prabhu who takes care of the Bhaktivedanta Eco Farm at Vrindavan Dham.
It lies between Radhakund and Vrindavan, where the Demon Aghasura was killed!
Eco Farm Album
Inspite of all the difficulties they have been facing in developing the project, He has brought it to such a stage that you will fall short of words praising his service.
It was so gladenning to hear from him that now the basic building structures have been completed, they have a pure source of drinking water, a 42000litre water tank and the best of the best news, they are now producing their own vegetables. The list he mentioned was Palak, Radish, Carrot, Beetroot, Oakra, Tomato, Flat Beans, Green Peas, Bitter Gourd, Pumpkin, Eggplant, Wheat, Corn and more to come!
Besides developing this into a very Productive self sustained Eco Farm, he also has many other plans. One of them is, increasing the green cover in and around to make todays desertifying Vrindavan into a real forest like in the past!
Previously the All India Padayatra, which travels on foot across India all around the year had seen great heights in his leadership for a decade. He now struggles in this remote farm, braving the scorching summers and freezing winters of Vrndavan, to develop this project into a beautiful example of Sustainable Organic Farming!
Any help or volunteering is always welcome.
Note: I am writing this post on my own accord, without his permission as a witness to his hardwork and dedication to Govinda/Gopal, who gives pleasure to the Cows and Earth.
