Volunteers conducted surveys, wood weighing tests, and focus group discussions with village women.

The document discusses the importance of establishing a varnashrama system with guru-kulas and varnashrama colleges according to Srila Prabhupada. It provides quotes emphasizing that guru-kulas, where young boys are trained from ages 5-10, and varnashrama colleges are essential for a society to properly function. However, attempts to establish these in ISKCON did not succeed due to lack of funding, qualified teachers, and commitment from members. Modern education is criticized as producing "dogs" and "fools" instead of independently minded brahmanas, ksatriyas, and vaishyas.Power point varnasrama-a-culture-sept-2017

The 1st wave focused on sankirtan and distributing books, the 2nd on establishing temples, the 3rd on youth meetings and spiritual initiation, and the 4th wave is on varnashrama dharma. It then describes a proposed 10.6 acre project donating land for an ISKCON facility, residences, and organic farming utilizing rain water harvesting and solar energy.

Varnashrama is the natural social structure according to Vedic principles. It divides society according to four varnas (brahmana, ksatriya, vaishya, sudra) and four ashramas (brahmacari, grhastha, vanaprastha, sannyasa). New Govardhana farm in Australia is implementing varnashrama principles through departments like the temple, goshala, school, eco-village, and guest houses. It generates income through various programs and aims to reduce mechanization. ISKCON Lithuania is also implementing varnashrama through farms like Govardhana, Gokul, and a brahmacari farm.Varnasrama Research Team
Varnasrama Research TeamSriSurabhi

This document outlines the establishment of Varnasrama Research Teams (VRT) to support the global mission of implementing a varnasrama society. VRTs would bring together interested individuals as a team to research and develop knowledge and skills related to traditional occupations. These include areas like organic farming, cow protection, rural development, and village technologies. The teams would work to educate others on varnasrama dharma and support local farm projects through sharing their research findings, visiting experts, and acquiring resources to help materialize Srila Prabhupada's vision.Varnasrama Education - part 2

This document provides an overview of the Varnasrama education system based on teachings from the Vedic texts. It describes how education is tailored based on a student's natural aptitudes and vocational interests. Students may receive either formal education in a Gurukula focusing on religious texts or non-formal apprenticeship training. Education is also phased according to one's stage of life, known as Asramas. The goal is to spiritually elevate students and guide them towards perfection through a lifelong learning process focused on service, inquiry and surrender.Cow protection - quotes by famous personalities

This document contains quotes from religious and political leaders on the importance of cow protection. It includes quotes from sources like the Bhagavad Gita, Jesus Christ, the Quran, Lord Buddha, Guru Govind Singh, M.K. Gandhi, former presidents of India, and others stressing that killing cows is sinful and against religious teachings. The quotes emphasize the spiritual, economic, and social significance of cows and highlight their role in providing sustenance and prosperity to people.Paper money and its flaws
Paper money and its flawsSriSurabhi
油
The document discusses the flaws of paper currency as money. It defines different types of money including commodity money, which derives value from the commodity it represents like gold, and fiat money, which derives value from government regulation alone. Paper currency is considered fiat money. The document discusses how governments debase currency through practices like removing commodity backing and excessive money printing, which can lead to inflation. Srila Prabhupada is quoted explaining that paper currency is worthless in times of crisis while commodities like grains and cows retain value. He advocates for producing one's own food rather than relying on paper money.Ad

In Acts 6:1-7 we see how the 12 apostles manage a crisis with great skill. The unity of the church was at risk as the Greek-speaking Christians complained that their widows were being neglected by the Aramaic speaking Christians in Jerusalem. In this text we will see the twelve preserve their priorities while skillfully raising up a team of spiritually qualified Holy-Spirit-filled Greek-speaking Jewish Christians to meet these needs. The unity of the church was preserved and the gospel keeps moving forward. In this text, although they are not called "deacons", these 7 men clearly become the template for this future ministry of service to the church. We also see that the spread of the gospel will include some of the hardest to reach people, the very Sadducean priests who were persecuting the apostles and denying the resurrection of Jesus!
