Hare Krsna!

All the funds needed for the "Ganda Needs Your Help" campaign have been donated by ISCOWP members! Thank you all so much! The projects are now in progress and you can read about it in this issue. 

 

As all of you know the weather has been unseasonably hot and dry. Please pray for rain here as all the hillsides are brown. We are watering the garden almost everyday. In this issue, you can read about how the Garden is Flourishing.

 

The training of Madhava and Kesava is ongoing with teamster Dhananjaya. We will have some exciting news about this program in the next e-newsletter. 

 

Thanks to the guests who came to spend some time with the cows. Take a peek at those pictures here. 

 

For your informative viewing please take a look at the video Tractorasura. It was taken from an article we wrote many years ago for the BTG. It has been dedicated to Balabhadra.

 

As of the writing of this e-newsletter, we are having a black out. There was a storm that came through and brought some rain and resulted in over 8000 people in this county without power.  My computer is on an extension cord through the office window attached to a small generator. 

 

We pray you are well. 

 

Thank you for all you do for cow protection!

 

Yours, 

Chayadevi

There are over 200 tomato plants. Across from this area are zucchini, melons, watermelons, spinach, chard, beans and bitter melon.

We have been eating out of this garden for a couple of months. Lettuce, spinach, chard, kale, berries, cilantro and lambs quarters (an eatable weed for which we have a delicious recipe). Notice the brown pasture in the background. Usually this pasture is green.

A single yoke and hitch just designed for Madhava and Kesava (because they are so large) is coming in a few days. Then individually they can practice pulling and doing practical work with Dhananjaya.

 

 

Madhava, the well known kirtan singer, came for lunch and visited the cows. Here, Madhava meets Madhava the ox. Balabhadra played (and continues to play)  Madhava's kirtans on his iPhone while he was very ill. Listening to Madhava's chanting of the Maha Mantra helped Balabhadra greatly. 

We met Ram Rao and wife at the festival of Inspiration and they then later came for the 24 hour kirtan and visited the cows.

Adopters Elizabeth and Hari-Kirtana visited. Here, Elizabeth meets the official greeter, Sri.

Thaddeus meets Sri. He came with Hari-Kirtana who wrote  about his visit in his blog.
