The motto at Hare Krishna Valley is "natural living, high thinking". Natural living means that living a comfortable, uncomplicated life in harmony with nature. By reducing "wants" to "needs", we manage to live in a peaceful state of mind. Peace of mind is a prerequisite to true happiness.
All of humanity's needs can be amply supplied from Mother Nature. At Hare Krishna Valley they aim to develop a self-sufficient farm community in which they gratefully receive gifts from the earth and in return protect the earth from unnecessary harm. Their projects include an investment in bio-dynamic farming, a humanitarian dairy, protection of wild life, forest regeneration and developing solar energy.
Their resident members live together in a spirit of love and trust. They co-operate together to further the development of the community. Visitors are treated as welcome friends and are encouraged to use their strengths to develop a positive future. Hare Krishna Valley is a spiritual sanctuary, a place where guests can rejuvenate themselves and feel part of a greater family.
Their natural lifestyle allows them to concentrate more freely on high thinking. This means that they are able to afford the time to contemplate the "bigger picture". Their members live an enlightened existence, with a higher purpose. They dedicate all of their activities for the pleasure of Krishna, the supreme entity. They engage in meditative chanting every day, study the ancient Vedic teachings of India and regularly come together to share realisations of their journey.
They warmly invite all other sincere seekers to join in on the development of Hare Krishna Valley, a positive alternative community.
