Dear Prabhus; Still even our unqualification there is a hope, Srila

Prabhupada tell one time:

"I was just discussing two years [1994?] ago with Nanda Kumära däsa in

Arizona. He was telling me that Prabhupäda personally told him that in our

lifetime, we would see the establishment of the "varnasrama-dharma."

- Bhakti-tirtha Swami. (June 1996, Gita-nagari Farm)

 

Really it´s not so difficult. In the history thousand of organize village

have been done by the people all around the world, and even many of them was

based in having land and tend cows. To that we only have to add the temple

and the chant of the holy name.

 

Your servant,

 

Jiva Tattva das
