PRABHUPADA FARM HAWAII - GOLOKA COW SANCTUARY: The Prabhupada Sankirtan Society is now in Hawaii.

Varnāśrama in action - in the original Vedic tradition.
The social institution known as varṇāśrama-dharma - the institution dividing society into four divisions or castes - is not meant to divide human society according to birth. Such divisions are in terms of educational qualifications. They are to keep the society in a state of peace and prosperity. The qualities mentioned herein are explained as transcendental qualities meant for making a person progress in spiritual understanding so he can get liberated from the material world.

THE BHAGAVAD GITA AS IT IS - Praised By All ~
The Srila Prabhupada edition of Bhagavad gita As It Is praised by scholars, philosophers, religionists, and scientists:
The Gita can be seen as the main literary support for the great religious civilization of India, the oldest surviving culture in the world. The present translation and commentary is another manifestation of the permanent living importance of the Gita.”Thomas Merton, Theologian

You say we must have a gosala trust, that is our real purpose.

krsi-goraksya-vanijyam
vaisya karma svabhava-jam

- B.G. XVIII, 44.

Where there is agriculture there must be cows.

That is our mission:

Cow protection and agriculture and if there is excess, trade. This is a no-profit scheme. For the agriculture we want to produce our own food and we want to keep cows for our own milk. The whole idea is that we are Iskcon, a community to be independent from outside help. This farm project is especially for the devotees to grow their own food. Cotton also, to make their own clothes. And keeping cows for milk and fatty products.

Our mission

is to protect our devotees from unnecessary heavy work to save time for advancing in Krsna consciousness.

This is our mission.
