House for Sale in Saranagati
by Karunamayi dasi
Posted December 23, 2009

In an effort to assist a dear devotee in selling her land and house in Saranagati Dhama, BC, Canada I am forwarding the specs along to you. If you or anyone you know would be interested in viewing this parcel of land, feel free to contact me.

The 1300-sq. ft. house, on 3 acres of land in the south end of valley, has 4 bedrooms and a loft. It is a very bright house with lots of windows, a large kitchen (with wood stove) and living room. The wood is tongue-and-groove finished and has a beautiful view of the lake and 'Govardhan Hill.' The house has hot water on demand, a large propane tank and stove and full bathroom facilities with a flushing toilet.

The house also comes with a woodshed and a two-room root cellar, along with an area suitable for repairing cars if needed. There is a new water line also. The house was the original brahmacari asrama for the Saranagati Valley; a barn with the valley's cows and horses is across the lane. The devotee has reduced her asking price from $55,000 to $45,000.

The acreage is enveloped by 3500 acres of beautiful forests, valleys, lakes, a Gov't cared-for road and a strong, mature developing Vaisnava Community. Within the Valley is a Vaisnava school run by Kar and Radha Delaney prabhus. The school is in its first leg of life and is already hailed as leading in academics and one-of-a-kind in administration by the local government board of education, where the children are officially registered for their education. The devotees in the Valley all contribute to educating the children in the form of offering age-appropriate seminars/courses like cooking classes, Vaisnava psychology, French, music, health & wellness, communications, and morning programs with Srila Prabhupada's books & instructions as the focus, with much more to come.

Saranagati is located a short 3.5-hour drive from Vancouver Temple in British Columbia. The possibilities for preaching are plentiful in the nearby town of Kamloops, which is home to many yoga centres and Thompson Rivers University. The opportunity for cow protection is also available for the right devotees.

Regular festivals are an enthusiastic example of the rich community spirit found in Saranagati. Classical Indian dance performances by the youth, weekly bhajan night, Caitanya-caritamrta class, Sunday feast and daily morning program. Rathayatra for Lord Jagannath is an ecstatic festival annually arranged, calling guests from around the globe and as close as Vancouver and Seattle. There is a summer camp held by local devotees for Vaisnava youth and which has been featured in Back to Godhead.

For more details on this exquisite community of devotees, visit /www.saranagati.ca/history_of_saranagati_ecovillage If you are interested in viewing the house and land, kindly call 1-778-207-4108 or e-mail me at Karunamayi.rns@gmail.com

"Bhairavi" CD Evokes Classical India
by Amaraprabhu das (Berlin)
Posted November 21, 2009

A new CD entitled Bhairavi: beauty of nature, tribute to Ganges and Varanasi, is a contribution to the antiquity and sacredness of the holy city of Benares (Varanasi) exploring ancient raga music in praise of Mother Ganga and her worship. Those compositions are in tune with the Sama Veda chants and stimulate a peaceful atmosphere and spiritual practice.

The CD is recorded with sound from the towns, bathing ghats, temple halls and puja ceremonies placed between the songs, to create the feeling of worship and praise. The ten special songs mastered and recorded on this CD by great musicians from Varanasi are played with emotion, while keeping the orthodox tradition of music.

Sitar, Tabla, Sarangi, Bamboo Flute and Shenai are used for the compositions, and one song is played in a traditional Bhajan style with Mrdangam, Harmonium and a sweet female voice. Indeed a very rare CD production on the classical indian music market, touched with Devotion and charm. To order CDs please contact Malola Music through e-mail or through their website. Thanks for your support.

Posted January 24, 2010

"Ever-Hip Hip Sacks," designed for men who wear dhotis, are perfect to carry keys, wallet, cell phone, day planner and any other small item you might want to carry around. Resting on the hips, they won't poke your back while sitting or rub against a mrdanga while playing. They are conveniently positioned for easy access to belongings, simultaneously sitting discreetly over your dhoti and under your kurta.

They range in size from a 30-inch (76 cm) to a snug 40" (102 cm) buckled waist and come in three colours — jet black, forest green and royal blue — in a durable cotton/canvas blend. They have durable zipper pockets as well as velcro. Made in Bali, Indonesia by a reputable tailor (no child labour), they can be sent to you for $30 CAD plus shipping.

The Ever-Hip Hip Sacks solve the problem of living in a pocket-free culture. Truthfully, they can also be worn over a sari, but with less of the "discreet" factor playing in.

Healthy Milk Cows for Sale
by Lakshmi Kary
Posted January 2, 2010

After taking care of my cows almost singlehandedly for the past 22 years (in declining health after numerous surgeries, and with two more surgeries to follow), I want to relocate my standard-size cows and stick with a smaller-size animal, the mini-Jersey, which will be easier for me to handle and maintain.

I will keep my three mini-Jerseys; my Brown Swiss, Usha (22 years); my Holstein, Vrnda (19 years); and my milking shorthorn, Rohini (5 years). My milking shorthorn, Chandra (9 years), died from eye cancer this summer.

I prefer to place cows with people who have at least some experience with cows, or have access locally to someone who can guide them. Cows are easy to care for if you know what to do and how and what to feed them. Cows are also costly, however, and whoever takes a cow needs to realize it is like having another child; it requires a big financial commitment, along with physical and emotional care.

If you can't keep a cow but would graciously like to help me by making donations for cow care, I would be grateful. I spend $500-$800 per month just on hay, pasture, etc. for my 8 cows.

I used sexed semen to get only heifer calves, and I think this Kali- yuga invention could be utilized for people who don't have alot of land and are worried what would happen to a bull calf. You can consider this option if you are interested in a cow but worried about having no people to work bulls in your area.

I would like to immediately place beautiful Kamadhenu, a registered standard Jersey. She is 3 years old, calved in July 2008 and still gives about 2.5 to 3 gallons (10 to 12 litres) per day. I milk her once a day, which works well. Currently she has been supplying the Berkeley Temple with milk, but due to lack of continued support and the distance to get the milk to the temple, we can no longer do it. Since she is still young I would rather not "retire" her to pasture with the older cows.

I also have a Jersey/milking shorthorn heifer due to calve in about 4 months. She was bred to a mini-Jersey bull. Cintamani is a very pretty red-and-white cow. She is a little bit feisty but would be fine with an experienced person. She is the daughter of another cow, Rohini (a purebred milking shorthorm for whom I might like to find a home this summer), who had very nice handmilking teats and is very healthy.

I haven't had health problems or mastitis with my cows, and I have maintained good care practices with all my cows.

In addition, I am expecting some very nice mini-midsized Jersey calves from my mini-midsized Jerseys in the spring. I expect to have several of these for sale, and they ought to make excellent family cows due to their size. They are much easier for children to handle and give a more reasonable amount of milk than the standard-size Jerseys.

Please write for further details, pictures, etc. I also do astrology readings to support myself and the cows. I have books and CDs on my website if you are interested in vedic astrology.

New Book On Mother Cow Released
by Bhakta Chris Evans
Posted December 23, 2009

We are pleased to announce the release of the latest book by Dr Sahadeva dasa, “Cow and Humanity – Made For Each Other."

This book discusses the vital role of cows in peace and progress of human society. Among other things, it also addresses the modern ecological concerns. It emphasises the point that ‘eCOWlogy’ is the original God made ecology. For all the challenges facing mankind today, mother cow stands out as the single answer.

We're finally going to get the bill for the Industrial Age. If the projections are right, it's going to be a big one: the ecological collapse of the planet, says Jeremy Rifkin. At the dawn of the industrial age two hundred years ago, humanity took a wrong turn when it started living on nature’s capital instead of nature’s incomes. It started gorging upon resources that took nature millions of years to create and which were saved up by nature according to its own plan of functioning.

Nature has her own way; she better understands her own affairs than we. We have one planet to live on and all our needs have to be satisfied with whatever is in here. We can not import a thing from other planets for our survival, no matter how much we advertise our dubious moon missions by getting worthless rocks and blowing billions.

This senseless exploitation of resources can not go on forever. This cradle to grave economics in which we turn every natural resource into a toxic waste is inherently self-destructive because in nature, there is no such thing as waste. So called waste generated by one living being is effectively utilized by another and so on until nothing is left over. This is called the cycle of life. But today our linear system of living which is immensely destructive has replaced this natural cyclical system.

This is where cow comes into picture. Living with cow is living on nature’s income instead of squandering her capital. In the universal scheme of creation, fate of humans has been attached to that cows, to an absolute and overwhelming degree. This implies that welfare and well-being of cows means progress and prosperity of humans and neglect and mistreatment of cows means degradation and ruin of humans. In the natural plan, human society should depend on cows for its requirements of economic prosperity, food production, soil fertility, nutrition, healthcare, fuel supply, transport, spiritual well-being, sustainable development, individual and social peace, higher consciousness, development of human qualities, performance of religious duties, environmental protection, ecological preservation and balance, advancement of art & culture, cottage industry etc. All the maladies staring in the face of human society today can be traced to one factor – humanity distancing itself from the protection and service to cows. Therefore the Vedas, the greatest repository of knowledge, crown the bovine species with the loving title “mother”.

This book by Dr Dasa has many interesting stories and illustrations that go well with facts presented therein.

Posted November 4, 2009

Situated at the foot of the beautiful Pyrenees Mountains, ideally located between Limoux and Carcassonne, just 15 minutes from the international Airport is a beautiful ShaktyDome, 200 Meters, 15 meters in diameter and 11 meters high. On the land, which is 1/2 a hectare (approximately 1.25 acres) large, you'll find a large organic garden, coupled with a stream, pond and waterfall. There is enough open space inside the dome to create an amazing 10 room Bhakti Yoga retreat and temple for the pleasure of Guru and Gauranga. 20 meteres adjacent to the large dome are 2 small guest domes.

The outside of the large dome is finished and the inside does need some finishing touches and your creativity to make it perfect for Sadhu Sanga.

For more information, kindly contact Shakty at shaktychuck@yahoo.fr and to view pictures of the land, domes and community possibilities, please visit www.shakychuck.com
