A special delegation spent a day at Bhaktivedanta Manor. They work as Counsellors of Agriculture and are advisors for their embassies, including the US, Germany, Ireland, Brazil and the Netherlands.
During their visit, they met Visakha Dasi and explored the beautiful grounds. Then Pradeep took them around the cow sanctuary to learn about the cow protection project. That was followed by a trek to Holland Farm where the temple grows herbs, vegetables and fruits with help from the ‘Worldwide Organ
This is an article of appreciation and support to all our devotees who are working and maintaining our rural communities, producing food and taking care of the cows. Right now when we are living in a situation where, all the modern civilization is paralyzed and threatened for a very contagious disease and an impending economical chaos, all your services take a very special relevance. Srila Prabhupada already visualized this scenario and he spoke many times about it and bought many farms around
