ॐ श्री सुराभ्यै नमः Hare Krishna. Devotees from Indonesia will be here for at least 3 months. As part of our ISKCON Varnasrama College curriculum here at Sahyadri Goloka Dham we will be charting out an area for Gurukula near the small river touching our land. Before the end of their stay we plan to build a Kutir where Maharaj will stay, made fully of local materials such as clay, stones and wood like bamboo. We also plan to make a Pukur for storing water. We will keep both photos and video to show later on. This morning our students and teacher are carrying the 75 bags of paddy harvested few months back to the mill.
Part of 75 bags of paddy, enough rice for one year for three families of 3 children from one harvest only.

Some of the paddy harvested last year, some 75 bags that will be enough to feed 3 families of three children for one year from one harvest crop covering 4 acres.
