Premaculture is a new way of farming combining the ecological and sustainable principles of Permaculture with the loving devotion cultivated in India’s ancient Bhakti tradition. It has been created in February 2020 in Radhadesh ISKCON community inspired by HH Kadamba Kanana Maharaj

Permaculture

Philosophy of working in harmony with Nature. It’s a process of designing self-sufficient ecosystems. Permaculture pioneers like Bill Mollison, David Holmgren and Geoff Lawton insisted many times on creating and maintaining self-sufficient ecosystems.

Bhakti (or Bhakti-yoga)

Pure, active, devotional service to God. It’s a process of reviving one’s love relationship with God and all the living beings. The goal of Bhakti-yoga is to reach prema – a stage of pure and eternal love. His Divine Grace A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada is guiding us in Bhakti through the Vedic scriptures

“Our farm projects are an extremely important part of our movement. We must become self-sufficient by growing our own grains and producing our own milk, then there will be no question of poverty. So develop these farm communities as far as possible. They should be developed as an ideal society depending on natural products not industry. Therefore let everyone, chant Hare Kṛṣṇa, eat nicely and keep their bodies fit and healthy. This is ideal lifestyle.”

Srila Prabhupada, Letter to Rupanuga, Dec. 18, 1974

“Simple living and high thinking is the solution to economic problems. Therefore the Kṛṣṇa consciousness movement is engaging devotees in producing their own food and living self-sufficiently so that rascals may see how one can live very peacefully, eat the food grains one has grown oneself, drink milk, and chant Hare Kṛṣṇa”

Srila Prabhupada, Teachings of Queen Kunti, 18

“Our farm projects are an extremely important part of our movement. We must become self-sufficient by growing our own grains and producing our own milk, then there will be no question of poverty. So develop these farm communities as far as possible. They should be developed as an ideal society depending on natural products not industry. Therefore let everyone chant Hare Krsna, eat nicely and keep their bodies fit and healthy. This is ideal lifestyle.”
