Guest guest Posted April 4, 2002 Report Share Posted April 4, 2002 Dear Prabhus. Please accept my humble obeisances. All glories to Srila Prabhupada. Here at New Vrajamandala in Central Spain we are looking for someone to come and spend a few months to teach us everything they know about using oxen. We want to be able to haul trees from the forest for making cottages. We need to hitch up a wagon for hauling compost to the fields, eventualy we want to plow. We can use oxpower here everyday, but we dont know what to do. We have one large and freindly ox called Rupa who was trained once, but has not been worked in years. There are some older oxen too but they are a bit too old to work. There is one devotee here, Maha Bala das from Finland who is fired up to work with the Ox's but he needs to be trained. We have a variety of tackle for farming, and there are all sorts of animal drawn farm implements, but no one knows how to use them or what they are for. We have been hoping that Krsna will send someone who can help us, but so far no one has come, so we thought to test our luck with this text. The prasadam here is fantastic, and the devotees are nice. We are a poor temple so we cannot provide air fare (Unless someone who cares about seeing Oxpower increase In ISKCON wants to sponser an air ticket!) There is nice accomodation and the farm here is entering its most beautiful time. Already the blossoms are everywhere, and the Aspens are beginning to bud. We have a handful of devotees starting to work the land growing vegetables and flowers, and Oxpower would help our endeavours tremendously. I know it is a long shot, but if there is anyone out there who knows how to work oxen, and who would like to come to New Vrajamandala for a few months to teach us all they can, we would be most grateful, and I am sure they will receive abundant blessings from their most Beautiful Lordships Sri Sri Radha Govinda Candra, Sri Sri Gaura Nitai, Sri Giri Goverdhana, and Sri Sri Laksmi Nrsimha! Thanks for your consideration. Your servant Samba das Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
