Hare Krsna to all
Pranams
All glories to Srila Prabhupada
Below is a 4 shot sequence of growing and processing beans-our main grain here.
This summer we had 5 rows, 6 feet high,and around 15 feet long of pole beans, and behind them
were the bush beans in about 6 rows. The slugs got most of the bush beans this year
and not Krsna. But thats gardening and farming-you take what Krsna gives you.
Hare Krsna
Damaghosa das
This below, is some of the beans drying in the greenhouse after all the tomatoes/peppers have
been removed . I leave them in here until they turn brown and crispy on their skins which
makes it easier to shell them.
Here is one bucket of various pole beans ready to come inside for shelling. We do
these one bucket at a time so an not to make it seem so cumbersome.
And finally below here we have some of the shelled beans ready for storage into jars.
These beans are a terrific source of protein and they store for years in glass jars.

… Yes, naturally. If this man is fed up with this industry, he can
go back to village and produce his own food. But he is attached to
this industrial activity because he is thinking that “We are getting
more money for wine and woman and meat. Let me enjoy.” That is the
perfect, imp… But if he chants Hare Krsna maha-mantra, his
consciousness will be purified and he will be made not interested this
kind of work. He will go back to village and
produce food.

… That is yajna. So in the Kali-yuga the yajna is made very easy.
Chant Hare Krsna. So anywhere you go, chant Hare Krsna, and see that
there will be clouds, there will be rainfall, and just work little,
you get your foodgrains, and chant Hare Krsna.

So where is that arrangement? There is enough land, enough
possibility, enough water. Now utilize them and produce food grain,
eat nicely and live peacefully and chant Hare Krsna and go back to
home, back to Godhead. This is our philosophy. Why there should be
industry? You want to eat after all. Instead of eating this flesh,
killing poor animals, why don’t you produce food grains, fruits,
flowers, food grain, and take milk from the animals and produce milk
products, all nutritious food, all nice food, and be happy and
remember God for His kindness. This is civilization. What is this
nonsense civilization? Now there is petrol problem. I see so many
buses, and not a single man, one or two men. And for two men a big
huge bus is being run, and so much petrol is consumed unnecessarily. I
have seen. I went from Nairobi to London in a plane–only five
passengers. Out of that, four passengers we were. Why? Why this
nonsense? And there is petrol problem now. They are creating simply,
the so-called advancement of civilization, creating problems, that’s
all. And that is due to these rascal leaders. Andha yathandhair

Prabhupada: Yes, that was Gandhi’s philosophy, village organization.
These people, they are attracting villagers to work in the factory,
and they are exploiting them…. our philosophy. Make your life
successful. By becoming Krsna conscious, you become free from all
these troubles of material condition. This is our education. Don’t be
after these motorcars, television, and all nonsense things, sporting,
wine, women. Don’t be after these. Simply eat sufficiently, keep your
health nicely, chant Hare Krsna, realize Krsna, and go back to home This is our philosophy…

Prabhupada: Yes, it will go on, but when they will see that your ideal
community is better than city life, people will take to it. Param
drstva nivartate. When one gets a better standard of life, naturally
he will give up the lower standard of life.

Prabhupada: . If he simply becomes little sober that “I

Prabhupada: How they can defeat us? We have got so solid ground. How
they can defeat, these rascals? We consider them simply rascals and
fools. And we call them rascals and fools. What do they know of
religion? What do they know of God? They know slaughterhouse and
killing and illicit sex, and killing the fetus. That’s all. What do
they know? They are not even civilized. We have come to make them
civilized. They should understand. They are not civilized. They do not
(know) how to eat even. The first principle of life is eating. They do
not know how to eat. We are teaching them how to eat. They simply
challenge, that’s… When men are uncivilized, they do not how to grow
food, they kill animals in the jungle and eat. When they are
civilized, they know how to grow food now and the nice food grains,
fruit, flowers, now why should say, “You eat the meat.” The
meat-eating is meant for the most uncivilized persons. That means they
do not know even how to eat. They do not know how to eat. How to eat,
how to sleep, how to have sex. Nothing. They’re having sex like cats and dogs.

protection, that’s all. That is wanted. Guru-krsna-krpaya paya
