From Hanumatpresaka Swami

[Guest guest]

THis Idea will also be a failier. Detailed reasoning just from first

reading the list and in what order the priorities are arranged and what they

consist of. The same foundation for failier as other present Iskcon farms

are now in experience of.

>Our opinion is that the current aim of ISKCON should

>be to develop our

>rural comunities - "Read your books, heard your

>music, seen your

>churches, ate your food, but when are we gonna see you

>make a life out of

>it?!"

>

>Book distribution, development of brahminical culture

>is the best way

>to develop cow protection. Real wealth is God, land

>and cows. Do you

>have these things?

>Help us with out project in Santa Cruz.

>Seen a lot of communities. Sarangati in Canada is a

>We're looking for land for our 40 year (2 generation)

>project:

>1. One hour from an Urban Base.

>2. Hilly land so that its not useful for Industrial

>Farming.

>3. Variety of parcels available. ISKCON gets 10 acres

>for school,

>temple etc. Others buy (single or in groups) what

>they want.

>4. Cultural self-sufficience is more important than

>technical or

>economic self-sufficiency. Its a "rural project"

>before its a "farm project".

>Gurukula, music, theater.

>Don't:

>1. Create a "Hare Krsna" Island. Preach to and get to

>know your

>neighbors right away.

>2. (Almost) all big, centrally owned and planned

>ISKCON projects have

>failed. Russia failed.

>3. Be too far from the city. We have to start on the

>weekends and

>increase our social relations over years (if we have

>that long).
