gradBetter Communication

Yamal Arjuna says we need to talk more on a one to one basis and approach all our business from that level.  We need to regularly discuss relevant topics and proposals.  We also need a facility for the shareholders to access information in real time. 

SAGE features events and current news to improve community communication and cooperation.

Division of "Church and State"

Kripanidhi led discussions at our AGM about prioritizing and implementing Srila Prabhupada’s mandate for farm communities, temples and outreach.  SVHI board wants to govern the land and corporation, but cannot dedicate time to the developing our community sankirtan movement, so a new organization called SAGE was created.

We have 1700 acres of land and over 30 years have developed a goshala, an ox plowing team and cultivated orchards and many gardens. We will establish cow protection and farm programs leading to self sufficiency. 

"For plain living we must have sufficient land for raising crops and pasturing grounds for the cows. If there is sufficient grains and production of milk, then the whole economic problem is solved." - Srila Prabhupada

Expanding Outreach and Sankirtan Program

Srila Prabhupada’s mandate for Villages was to reach out to the people of our prabhu datta desh (Interior BC) to share with them books and the model of land & cow protection.  SAGE will implement & support outreach programs.

 

cooperate

SAGE provides an environment which supports and promotes the practice of Krishna Consciousness as taught by His Divine Grace A. C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada.

 
Srila Prabhupada has told us that we “Must work in a mood of love and trust”. “ Your love for me will be tested by how much you cooperate with each other to spread this Krishna Consciousness movement."
 
Srila Prabhupada wanted us to work in an amicable spirit to establish in our farm projects a harmonious society based on cow protection and self sufficient agriculture.
