Satsangs in New Jersey, Louisville and Florida
Pujya Swamiji spent the day in Tampa, Florida at the home of Bellaben and Yogeshbhai Patel. A beautiful satsang was organized at home, and the following day they took Pujya Swamiji to see a garden of hydroponic plantation. As we have a large rural development and organic gardening program in Rishikesh, they thought that He would like to see the amazing growth potential with hydroponics.

On the garden where we went to visit, on a mere 1/2 acre of land there were approximately 20,000 plants, using a total of less water per day than the average family of four!

Pujya Swamiji was very impressed by the technology and immediately had visions of being able to help poor farmers produce even more crops with less water and without any use of chemicals/pesticides, etc; when Bellaben & Yogeshbhai came to Rishikesh in December they brought the first trail stacker for our Veerpur garden.

In Veerpur we have huge organic vegetable gardens and also plans for ayurvedic medicinal plants. Pujya Swamiji is committed to bringing the concept of organics to the area, not only for the health of the people but mostly for health of Mother Ganga, into whom all the runoff from the fields eventually goes.
