13 Moons of Manifestion & Eco Village Development
Donation protected
Help build the prototype Vedic Eco Village for Canada and create a spiritual atmosphere by focusing on the basic practices of cow protection, brahminical culture and self-realization.
Our key projects this year focus on cow facilities, fences for grazing and a new goshala.
We are laying the foundation for bringing about a gradual global social transformation through training education based on the ancient scientific principles and concepts of Sanatana Dharma.
In modern society, we fight with nature. We are guilty of being part of the wrong kind of civilization. Here, instead of the insidious stream of new technologies, we are satisfied with traditional methods of living. Caring for cows, stewarding the forest, milling lumber, building infrastructure, farming and wood-based activities fill our days.
Our mission is to manifest the vision of Varnasrama villages, as proposed by Srila Prabhupada and our Acharyas. Varnasrama provides self sufficiency and fulfills the material and spiritual needs of our community and the next generations.
