Sustainable Living
What we eat is what makes our body and mind. Every cell in the body and every thought in the mind is made by the food from mother nature. If we have polluted everything from water, air, soil, seeds, leaves, vegetables, and fruits then our body and mind will also be polluted.
During covid lockdowns we decided to grow 100 % organic produce in the ashram. We neither wanted to use pesticide nor fertilizer nor GMO seeds. Instead, we acquired traditionally preserved seeds, ashram cow dung, cow urine, and some other natural leaves of trees in the ashram.
We are successfully growing a wide range of produce now including fruits, vegetables, nuts, legumes, beans and grains. We feel it is extremely important to continue with this and are also trying to make our ashram as sustainable as possible. We now have the majority of our energy coming from solar panels and collect water in our dam during the monsoon which keeps us going for the whole year.
