This is a view looking down from the top of the garden. The barn at the base of the hill was built as a temporary structure to house equipment during construction of the temple and now serves as storage for the community. The small structure seen upon the hill in the distance, beyond the barn, is the home of one of the community's sannyasis, or holy men who have renounced the material world. The sannyasi lives apart from the rest of the community, devoting his time to working with draft animals.
