Preparing for planting pruning, grass mowing, weed control etc are some of the chores required at this time of the year in our rainy and hot location. Our house is a part of a large Hare Krsna Community. There are many volunteers elsewhere on the community. We are strictly vegetarian with no intoxication.Temple programmes, Yoga classes, massage, swimming when not too cold and walking about our 1,000 acre property as well as milking cows are some of the recreational activities available.

Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
As Hare Krsnas we also grow varieties of fragrant flowers for garlands & vases.
As vegetarians we plant vegies & herbs. We also milk cows and train bullocks and provide them facility in old age.
The immediate focus in our rainy & hot season is tidy, clean-up, some veg. planting, mulching, org. supplements. Early morning and latish after-noon hours are best for outdoor work.
Hare Krsna spiritual programs every morning are open to all and are packed with philosophy, singing [chanting] and dancing according to choice. The separate volunteer 'village' [3-mth minimum stay] have evening get-togethers from time to time. Members work 5-hrs 5-days.
Help
Mainly gardening help is required. eg natural grass & weed control; pruning, flower picking, clearing & planting veg. beds and flowers, trees,etc.!
Large-scale domestic irrigation knowledge is most welcome!
Early morning and latish after-noon hours are best for outdoor tasks in hot weather.
