(Please see Prabhupada's "Kick out the West" quote.) You are obviously still not convinced by the devotee model 'the Satvik Indore Toilet' which devotees produced in India. It has been tried and proved. Many Sanyasis aprove including His Holiness Jayapataka Swami.This is available from us in London and the book in which it is described. Support devotee enterprises rather than karmis. This is how other groups get successful - they suopport each other. We're always admiring how THEY work together.

Please use this opportunity to explain to the devotees how the satvic toilet would work in their city temples. Also please provide information on prices and shipping costs and approximately lead time need for shipping. I'm sure many would be glad to prepare for Y2K by ordering your product. Again, my apologies. your servant, Hare Krsna dasi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you for your support Hare Krsna Dasi. We are in the process of setting up a distribution company for the sale of these Satvik units. So by mid November we should be able to fill orders although I have some limited stock here in the UK. So some initial orders can be placed i.e. by those on this conference. I will inquire about shipping to North America. They work very simply. The beauty of the Satvik System is that you need not spend a great deal of money as you might with the Canadian Sun-Mar compost toilet system. These are imported into the UK and are sold at around 500 - 1000 pounds sterling. You have to install a two floor arrangement for these to operate i.e. a room with a basement below where the composter is installed. There are vent pipes, different kinds of heaters and you have to add around two slices of bread and a cup of peat per person per day! Hey, that's complicated - I mean you have to go to the store to buy bread to put down the toilet! And peat is a no no for environmentally minded people. The Satvik system needs none of these requirements. Simply install the unit so that the sole plumbing (a piece of plastic pipe and any old (min) five litre bottle) so that all liquid can flow into that recepticle. Of course you have to have a garden situation by your house for this to be possible. I have recently had an environmental health inspector view my set up, and I currently live in a London suburb. My garden is very small 14 by 10 paces and is surrounded by public footpaths and highway. He gave me full approval in writing and wished me all success with future developments. When the unit becomes filled up simply fold over the bio-degradable paper bag contained within the unit and remove to your Indore compost heap. Thus you have the only toilet in the world YOU NEVER HAVE TO CLEAN OUT. Tip the top bucket, bag and all, right Onto the heap and cover with more layers of composting material. How to make an Indore Compost heap is described in the Lost Science of Organic Cultivation price 12.99 sterling and is essntial for no smell and a successful system. In ten days the outer paper liner will have completely dissappeared! If the correct medium is used there will be no smell at any stage of the operation. The odd Straw bale is advisable for addition of carbon etc.etc. Just like the Sun-Mar toilets they start with a catalogue. The Satvik Indore Toilet starts with a book. This is Vedic system.

Guest guest Posted October 16, 1999 Report Share Posted October 16, 1999 >Peat a no no? Please elaborate.> Well the peat from the peat bogs of Ireland, which is where England gets its peat is considered environmentally damaging as this source of fertility is limited (peat takes, I think, thousands of years to be formed) and thus will soon be completely exhausted if the rate of removal is kept up. Proper compost on the other hand which is equally fertile can be manufactured in 90 days from regular garbage. The inclusion of what many consider useless sub-soil, turns that subsoil into top soil in 90 days. (certain proportions only) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So it is not the peat itself, but the method, or should I say rate, at which it is harvested that is a no no. Thank you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
