New Vrindaban: Past and Present
A Photo Tour of a Hare Krishna Community in West Virginia

| Like the nearby herb garden, the Goshalla is a representation of a larger operation happening at New Vrindaban. The community now has 120 cows from which they harvest manure for gardens and milk for cooking. The Hare Krishnas once ran a commercial dairy at New Vrindaban with a herd of 430 cows, but the operation was running only to cover its own costs. The reason for this, according to a devotee, is that Hare Krishnas do not sell their cows to be slaughtered because of their spiritual practices and most money made in a commercial dairy operation is made through the slaughtering of cows. |
