Located about 30 Kms from the well known Lake Balaton, Krsna Valley is a beautiful natural environment where devotees practically display \u201csimple living, high thinking\u201d &#8211; one of the mottoes of their society\u2019s founder, His Divine Grace A.C.Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada.<\/p>\n<p>The mission of the residents of Krishna-valley is to create a varnasrama society centred around the service of the Lord, in which devotees may practice Krishna consciousness, living according to the principles of self sufficiency, depending on the land and the cows, educating their children in spiritual life &#8211;  all with the goal of attaining pure love of God and inspiring others to follow their examples.<\/p>\n<p>As society faces increasing pressures on rapidly dwindling resources the devotees at NVD are establishing a template for sustainable living which has at  it\u2019s heart the understanding that, as Gandhi put it \u201cthe world has enough for everyone\u2019s need but not enough for everyone\u2019s greed\u201d<\/p>\n<p>By chanting Hare Krsna the devotees are able to develop an inner peace and contentment that naturally reduces the artificial and spiralling demands that consumer society impels us to meet. They are demonstrating how to Chant Hare Krsna and be happy.<\/p>\n<p>I hope you like it!<\/p>\n<p>Your servant,<\/p>\n<p>Barnaby<\/p>\n<p>Barnaby Booth<br \/>\nDirector, BEI Films, E-Learning Manager<\/p>\n<p>School of Business Economics and Informatics<\/p>\n<p>Birkbeck College<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/dandavats.com\/wp-content\/uploads2\/072012-12-20-05-1107.jpg\"\/><strong>By Barnaby Booth<\/strong><\/p>\n<p> As society faces increasing pressures on rapidly dwindling resources the devotees at NVD are establishing a template for sustainable living which has at  it\u2019s heart the understanding that, as Gandhi put it \u201cthe world has enough for everyone\u2019s need but not enough for everyone\u2019s greed\u201d<!--more--><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-11126","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-iskcon-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.dandavats.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11126","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.dandavats.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.dandavats.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.dandavats.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.dandavats.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=11126"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.dandavats.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11126\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.dandavats.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=11126"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.dandavats.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=11126"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.dandavats.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=11126"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
