So there is no question of profit...

[Guest guest]

You say we must have a gosala trust, that is our real purpose.

krsi-goraksya-vanijyam vaisya karma svabhava-jam, [bg 18.44]. Where there

is agriculture there must be cows. That is our mission: Cow protection and

agriculture and if there is excess, trade. This is a no-profit scheme. For

the agriculture we want to produce our own food and we want to keep cows for

our own milk. The whole idea is that we are Iskcon, a community to be

independent from outside help. This farm project is especially for the

devotees to grow their own food. Cotton also, to make their own clothes. And

keeping cows for milk and fatty products.

 

Our mission is to protect our devotees from unnecessary heavy work to save

time for advancing in Krsna consciousness. This is our mission. So there is

no question of profit, but if easily there are surplus products, then we can

think of trading. Otherwise we have no such intention. We want a temple, a

gosala and agriculture. A community project as in Europe and America. We are

making similar attempts in India in several places. Immediately I'm going to

Hyderabad to organize the farm project there. We have 600 acres. We have the

permission from the government. There is no question of ceiling.

 

You may call the gosala: ISKCON Gosala and Farm Project Trust.
