Om Sri Surabhyai Namah! Om Sri Gurave Namah!

Gaura Hari Village pioneers the spread of varnasrama movement and cow protection mission in Bali, Indonesia. The devotees never stop organizing and conducting several activities based on Daiva Varnasrama-Dharma here. On Sunday, May 21, 2017, all the residents of Gaura Hari Ashram went down to earth to clean their rice field. Balinese called it “mejukut”.

“Mejukut” is literally clean up of the rice field from the pest and weeds which grow in the rice plants. Usually it is done when the rice plants is about 16 days old. The Gaura Hari Youth also took active part in the activity. They all looked so excited about this. All day long, all the devotees worked on the rice field. Anirudha Prabhu as the Head of Sri Gaura Hari Ashram, Govinda Madhava Prabhu as the Leader of Gaura Hari Youth, Danavira Prabhu as brahmacari in the service of Sri Sri Radha Madhava and also kids from Gaurahari Gurukula participated in the seva. Not only the prabhus, but the matajis also took part in this seva, directly or indirectly. While some of them joined directly in the activity, others prepared various delicious prasadam for those working in the field.

Gaura Hari Village owns some field to grow organic rice. The complete agricultural process is done manually and naturally such as plowing, irrigating, sowing etc. We use cow dung for improving the soil fertility until the harvesting phaseThey use only cow dung and cow urine as the manure for the crops. This makes it pure and healthy allowing the devotees offer quality crops to their beloved Sri Sri Radha Madhava and get healthy prasadam. Devotees also invite all fortunate souls to come and join all the programs that are to happen in near time.

One senior devotee who lives near the Ashram who also uses natural and cow based method of farming gave big bananas from his farm to them as a gift. They offered the bananas to Sri-Sri Radha-Madhava.

Hare Krishna!
