In a groundbreaking move aimed at furthering the mission of the International Society for Krishna Consciousness (ISKCON), the GBC Ministry of Cow Protection and Agriculture has embarked on a new phase of certifying ISKCON farms. This recent tour involved visiting six farms and certifying four prominent locations: Mayapur, Vrindavan Gurukul, Ahmedabad, and Govardhan Eco-Village. This initiative is a vital step forward, setting unified standards for ISKCON farms and opening them to the public, enhancing the community’s credibility.
Kalakantha Das, the Global Minister of Cow Protection and Agriculture, shared more details with ISKCON News, “The certification process is not only about elevating the farms but also strengthening the Ministry’s relationships with these sites, learning about their needs, and providing essential education and support. This dynamic approach aims to set new benchmarks for the community and is a significant stepping stone toward achieving broader goals.”
