We are seeking people to join our efforts to build the prototype Vedic Eco Village for Canada and manifesting a self-reliant community. Help us build infrastructure & homes, grow food and harness power the vedic way.
Our mission is to manifest the vision of Varnasrama villages, as proposed by Srila Prabhupada and our Acharyas. Varnasrama provides self sufficiency and fulfills the material and spiritual needs of our community and the next generations.
