Guest guest Posted November 26, 1999 Report Share Posted November 26, 1999 Dear Prabhus: Please accept my humble obeisances. All Glories to Srila Prabhupada. I am looking for devotees who are into simple living/self sufficiency. I would like to contact those who are practically pursuing such a lifestyle. I have met about one dozen such persons in my life but only a couple have been devotees. And sometimes I feel a little bit like I'm crying in the wilderness. I would like to correspond with such persons to keep my self enlivened and also to explore the possibilities of like-minded devotees forming a community devoted to plain living and high thinking. Here are some elements of what is and is not simple living according to my vision: 1. Energy Independence A. No electricity or you make your own B. A $15,000.00 PV utility intertie system doesn't count 2. Food Production A. You grow a significant portion of your food including some grains or dried beans B. A few summer tomato plants don't really count C. You can, dry, root cellar, etc. 3. Residence A. Are you located in a rural area? B. Did you build your own house? C. Is it designed with self sufficiency in mind; heating, lighting, etc.? 4. Finances A. Do you need just a little cash to live comfortably? B. Is your debt minimal or are you dependent on credit? If you meet even one or two of these criteria or know someone who does, especially someone who lives in the continental United States, please get in touch with me. I would love to hear from you, trade ideas, make plans, etc. My snail mail address is: Acarya dasa RR 1 Box 835E Port Royal, PA 17082 Thank you for your time and consideration. I hope this meets you in good health and I beg to remain, Your servant, Acarya dasa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
