ISKCON Alachua, Around the Temple and Farm (Album of photos)
\nPhotos from around the temple and farm the evening of May 10, 2020. With the warm weather here to stay, the flowers are blooming, the vegetable gardens are beginning to produce a variety of vegetables… The cows are happily grazing, cared for by our cowherds.<\/p>\n

Srila Prabhupada: The policy should be that you should be self-sufficient and save time for advancing in Krsna consciousness. That is wanted. Yavad-artha prayojanam. Yuktahara-viharasya yogo bhavati siddhi-ha [Bg. 6.17]. You shall eat whatever you require for proper upkeep of the body, not eating too much and sleeping whole day. Don\u2019t do that. Eat only what is absolutely necessary. Then you\u2019ll never be in want. People are engaged in material civilization means they are increasing the bodily demands, unnecessary. Just like this park. Why we have come to this park? We like this atmosphere. So similarly in villages, everyone, if he has got some land, he can live simply without any gorgeous building. What is the use? Just have a cottage and have garden. You\u2019ll live very peacefully. But they\u2019re constructing big, big skyscraper building in the downtown, and they will have to come here by car for some peace of mind, and in the meantime, accident, police. This is the civilization, nonsense civilization. At weekend they will go to the village, country, and during the week-time they will work hard. This is their civilization, with the risk of life, running motorcar eighty miles\u2019 speed. Every moment there is risk. What is this civilization? Most ludicrous civilization. So farming means if you live in a farm\u2026 Just like in New Vrindaban they are doing. Produce your own food, live peacefully, fresh vegetable, fresh grains, fresh milk, and prepare so many nice milk preparation, kachori, halava, and with ghee. Offer to the Deity. Eat sufficiently. What is the use of going outside? Simple life and chant Hare Krsna. If you can organize that, that will be very nice. October 28, 1975, Nairobi
