The Growing Garden

The garden goes slow, but it goes and it grows. We try and try again while the evil caterpillars continue to eat our food before we do. Currently we have some very tasty radishes, spinach, Fenugreek leaves (Methi), some Massive pumpkin & lots of peppermint. In the big field, mung and urad dal in the summer and wheat in the winter. All chemical free... hence the insects.

Google tells me today that to get rid of the insects who steal our food - boil garlic, onion and red chili in water for 15 minutes, cool. Then dilute with water and spray on the garden. So hopefully this will work and there will just be the monkeys left to deal with!

Peace Flags

Purity, divinity in all things, all moments. The white flags represent a remembering of the goal, to raise ourselves up to the higher planes of existence, flowing with and undisturbed by the changes of the wind.

Happy Diwali!

Gulab & Abundance

So last year Radhe had the idea to plant a field full of roses... how lovely.



Now we have roses everywhere. Morning rose-picking meditation is an all-round favorite at the moment. Rose jam, rose water, rose oil, drying rose petals and sweet smells all around the ashram.
