The basic idea of Yasodapura Eco-Village is to develop an village model, based on agriculture, land, cows and spiritual training and education. There is a great need to establish this village program because Srila Prabhupad wanted this. His Divine Grace said that “First is Food” and “First is Character”.
We must learn to preach according to the local conditions. In this rural village most people are farmers. Since they are farmers from their childhood, we have to teach them how to work according to their nature in a Krishna Consciousness way. Then naturally, by the grace of the Lord, they will receive the natural gifts from the land, and will experience transcendental happiness because they are able to satisfy Lord Krishna who is the Supreme source of pleasure.
At the end of the month we continued plowing the land. In the village the farmers use buffalos to plow their land. Fist we took out the root of the trees. with the help of a few helpers. At present we have some plots of land, each about 20 meters by 10 meters. Besides our land, we also work other rice field plots where water is flowing a lot. Our resident family is helping the neighbor to plow his land and that owner then lets them maintain a few of his plots. In this way, our family likes to maintain the land because they will get more rice paddy.
