Let's start with WHY.

 

Here's my simple why: Not long before he left the planet, Srila Prabhupada

was going to Gita Nagari to establish Varnasrama. He said that Gita Nagari,

at the time, had the food problem solved. Krsna Conscious rural communitees

can provide food, employment, and shelter, espescially during times of world

turmoil. Therefore we are presenting an outline of necessities for

developing and maintaining KC rural communities for the purpose of realizing

Srila Prabhupada's mission.

 

Some additions, ommissions?

 

Your servant,

Chayadevi

The fact is that such communities can reverse the negative effects of Kali

Yuga. When Dharma is being followed, the Earth gives up her bounty with

great happiness. Communities that are based on Krsna Consciousness are

protected from Kali Yuga. Prabhupada predicted that with one good unit of

'ideal society', we can influence the world.

 

So for the good of human society in general Varnasrama communities are

absolutely essential.

Also the why may be for our own spiritual development. The pace of city life

and the distance it brings to a vital aspect of our philosophy - cow

protection /simple living high thinking - is not really the best environment

to rear the next generation who will take this movement on when we too are

leaving our bodies. They will continue the cow protection and sustainable

plans beyond our lifespan - teach and assist society to develop.

Is it possible to send us a brief example of this in regards to the proposal

for rural development?
