  Echange culturel et opportunités d'apprendre

  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 and water if necessary. 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.
