Hare Krsna-
As many of you already know,we have been growing our own food here now for almost 20 years. Things have progressed nicely, and as they do, we know we are pleasing Srila Prabhupada by this activity. When a disciple knows he is pleasing his spiritual master, there is no greater self pleasure. If we dis please him, that same disciple should also know and feel that his life has taken a turn for the worse. So let us continue to please Srila Prabhupada.
Below we have arranged a few quotes for you to read and you can watch the video taken by a visiting bramacari, Ramachandra das. of some of our gardening projects.

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, hisconsciousness will be purified and he will be made not interested thiskind of work. He will go back to village and produce food.
When everyone is working in the city to produce nuts and bolts, who will produce the food grains? Simple living and high thinking is the solution to the economic problem. Therefore the Krishna Consciousness movement is engaging the devotees in producing their own food and living self-sufficiently.…”..(Teachings of Queen Kunti, 18, ‘Liberation from Ignorance and Suffering’)

The whole process is that our life will be successful when we strictly follow guru and Krsna. Guru means Krsna; Krsna means guru. Not Mayavada, but guru means one who follows Krsna, he is guru.
