and among them a few families with children - make up our community.<br />
25 are resident on our land and another 20 or so live <strong>in</strong> the neighbour<strong>in</strong>g<br />
village, but are closely connected to the project. We plan to<br />
build 3 or 4 new houses, especially for the couples with families, but as<br />
yet we have not got plann<strong>in</strong>g permission.<br />
On a voluntary basis each <strong>in</strong>dividual contributes to the project accord<strong>in</strong>g<br />
to their means. The most important consideration is the consciousness<br />
beh<strong>in</strong>d the endeavours, and the <strong>in</strong>terest to participate and learn <strong>in</strong><br />
an <strong>in</strong>teractive way. All members <strong>of</strong> the community are <strong>in</strong>dependent<br />
and responsible for themselves and may leave the community when<br />
they like.<br />
If you would like to participate, you should be ready and happy to live<br />
vegetarian, free from <strong>in</strong>toxicants, dur<strong>in</strong>g your stay. We ask that visitors<br />
to reta<strong>in</strong> an open m<strong>in</strong>d for the pr<strong>in</strong>ciples <strong>of</strong> Krishna consciousness<br />
(Bhakti-Yoga). Our spiritual practices are based on the teach<strong>in</strong>gs <strong>of</strong> the<br />
Vedic literature, especially the Bhagavad Gita. If you are <strong>in</strong>terested <strong>in</strong><br />
understand more about this, we suggest you visit your local Hare Krishna<br />
centre.<br />
The easiest way for <strong>in</strong>terested persons to get a real picture <strong>of</strong> our farm<br />
community, is to experience it for themselves by stopp<strong>in</strong>g by for a visit<br />
(over the weekend, for example). We recommend those who wish to<br />
spend extended stays with us, beg<strong>in</strong> with some short visits, so that we<br />
can get to know each other, before mutually committ<strong>in</strong>g ourselves.<br />
