Guest guest Posted December 20, 1999 Report Share Posted December 20, 1999 Hare Krsna Thank you to everyone who has taken the time to respond on the topic "Are you living simply". However, now I would like to clarify my original purpose in entering this forum. Although all the topics of discussion;lamp oil, herbs, composting, etc. are interesting , I had a very specific purpose in mind. I want to find people, especially families, with an interest and experience in plain living, that would like to start a community specifically devoted to that lifestyle. I see Samba Prabhu in Mauritius, Madhava Gosh in West Virginia, and a few others scattered about the US and the world. I believe however that what is needed is to bring these few serious persons together in one place. Otherwise simple living that can last, be passed on to future generations and expanded will be difficult or impossible to develop. So I am submitting, not a topic for discussion but a call for practical implementation. To learn to grow food or make a lamp is relatively easy but to bring 5 or 10 families together to cooperatively live simply seems near impossible, but to me it seems necessary in order to do it properly. I will answer e-mails but would appreciate snail-mail from interested persons. Acarya dasa RD 1 Box 835-E Port Royal PA 17082 Thank you.

Guest guest Posted December 22, 1999 Report Share Posted December 22, 1999 Haribol, Acarya this is very nice to hear!!! Its exactly what we're trying to do here in Australia. I am presently just moved to a place without electricity or running water and loving it, but I think the devotee who owns the land still wants to keep his car and resultantly cash-crop. I still admire their efforts in the right direction, they've only had the land 6 months, but I would love to be part of a farm, where all SP's instructions are being implemented. I mean that the goal is that way. I think it would be very powerful preaching. Topmost in mind is- what country were you thinking of? We would only be attracted to a warm climate. Never seen snow, never want to, so sorry about laying on conditions, but I know my limitations, ys, niscala >"Taraka dasa" <cowz (AT) jc-net (DOT) com> >cowz (AT) jc-net (DOT) com, Practical.Varnasrama (AT) bbt (DOT) se, >Free.Forum (AT) bbt (DOT) se, Cow (AT) bbt (DOT) se, Agriculture.and.the.Environment (AT) bbt (DOT) se >"COM: Agriculture and the Environment" ><Agriculture.and.the.Environment (AT) bbt (DOT) se>, "COM: Cow (Protection and >related issues)" <Cow (AT) bbt (DOT) se>, "COM: Practical Varnasrama" ><Practical.Varnasrama (AT) bbt (DOT) se>, "COM: Mukhya (dd) (SysOp) (Lund - S)" ><Mukhya (AT) bbt (DOT) se> >Are you living simply? >Mon, 20 Dec 99 17:12 -0500 > >[Text 2873317 from COM] > >Hare Krsna > Thank you to everyone who has taken the time to respond on the topic >"Are you living simply".

Guest guest Posted December 22, 1999 Report Share Posted December 22, 1999 Haribol Samba prabhu, PAMHO AGTSP I don't think that they cut the cylinder round side before putting on the plate. Since most of the shops will close this week, I could try to scan a rough (very rough) sketch of the finished stove. I think that if you try to com Ani at Govindadwipa he might be a better man for technical descriptions, but I'll send what I can. Hope everythings going well ys Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
