New Vrindaban Board Members with Srila Prabhupada in his Palace of Gold<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Established in 1968 in West Virginia,\u00a0New Vrindaban<\/a>\u00a0was\u00a0ISKCON\u2019s<\/a>\u00a0first rural\u00a0 community.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

<\/div>\n
Over the following years, the pioneer community made a series of\u00a0 well-documented mistakes in its early attempts, going through some of ISKCON\u2019s\u00a0 darkest and most difficult times. Resources were affected, but most of all\u00a0 people\u2014many of whom left the community.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Still, a skeleton crew remained through the toughest times, working through\u00a0the repercussions and doing their best to correct the errors of the past.<\/p>\n

In more recent times, there has been renewed energy to rebuild New Vrindaban\u00a0and to turn it into the exemplary self-sufficient, Krishna conscious community\u00a0 that Srila Prabhupada envisioned.<\/p>\n

New key personnel have been brought in to help with the transition, including\u00a0 community president Jaya Krishna Das. Formerly the administrative director for\u00a0\u00a0Bhaktivedanta College<\/a>, Belgium, Jaya Krishna took up his new post in spring 2011\u00a0 and has been working hard since to help New Vrindaban grow into a thriving,\u00a0 attractive community.<\/p>\n

During an annual board meeting on the weekend of April 20th and 21st, New Vrindaban devotees discussed some exciting developments in the first phase of\u00a0 the community\u2019s transition.<\/p>\n

ISKCON Governing Body Commisioners<\/a>\u00a0Anuttama Das, Malati Dasi and Tamohara Das\u00a0 joined board members from two non-profit organizations at the meeting\u2014ISKCON New\u00a0Vrindaban and\u00a0ECOV<\/a>, which focuses on the community\u2019s self sufficiency\u00a0 efforts.<\/p>\n

\u201cEveryone came in looking for ways to answer the question: how can we better\u00a0 serve the devotees of New Vrindaban, and improve the overall community spirit?\u201d says Chaitanya Mangala Das, a second generation devotee and member of both boards.<\/p>\n

Answers fell into two categories. The first was improving the physical\u00a0 environment, an effort that\u2019s already in progress in a big way.<\/p>\n

Early this year, for example, the residential quarters for devotees in the\u00a0 Radha Vrindabanchandra temple building were completely renovated.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe wood paneling that had been on the walls since the early 1980s was\u00a0 removed, and the rooms were sheet-rocked,\u201d says Chaitanya Mangala. \u201cThey also\u00a0 put in new windows, and fully furnished each room with basic living amenities\u00a0 such as a bed, chair, and desk. The floor mats and sleeping bags of the past are\u00a0 done away with, and it\u2019s been made a more comfortable environment for\u00a0 residents.\u201d<\/p>\n

Standard capacity for the residential quarters is fifty-four devotees, but\u00a0 they can accommodate ninety-six at full capacity during festivals.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile rooms at the community\u2019s guest lodge are also being completely\u00a0 remodeled in time for the Festival of Inspiration on May 10th, 11th and 12th\u00a0 this year. The old bunk-bed style lodgings of yesteryear are gone, to be\u00a0 replaced with queen beds and motel quality accommodations. Altogether the rooms\u00a0 will have a total capacity of 130 persons.<\/p>\n

The New Vrindaban Welcome Center is also receiving a full do-over to create a\u00a0 warm, inviting atmosphere for guests.<\/p>\n

In addition the community\u2019s snack bar is being transformed into an elegant\u00a0 Govinda\u2019s Vegetarian Restaurant with sit-down menu service as well as a full\u00a0 buffet. After a partial opening for the Festival of Inspiration, it will be\u00a0 fully functioning by the end of May.<\/p>\n

Restoration work is also beginning on\u00a0Srila Prabhupada\u2019s Palace of Gold<\/a>,\u00a0 which has been a major tourist attraction for New Vrindaban over many years but\u00a0 had fallen into disrepair.<\/p>\n

The full cost of all needed renovations falls somewhere between three and\u00a0 five million dollars. While the community does not have these funds and is\u00a0 discussing ways to raise them, devotees are already getting started on\u00a0 renovations with the funds they do have.<\/p>\n

Work has already begun on the stairs leading up to the Palace, and will\u00a0 commence on the entrance walk-way in the summer.<\/p>\n

\u201cThen as more funds are raised, additional repairs will be ongoing for as\u00a0 long as it takes,\u201d says Chaitanya Mangala.<\/p>\n

New Vrindaban is also planning to tear down old and unsightly buildings.\u00a0 During the meeting, board members took a walking tour of Bahulaban, where\u00a0 devotees resided in the early years before moving to the current location in the\u00a0 mid 1980s.<\/p>\n

Bahulaban was essentially closed down after the move, and the three main\u00a0 buildings there have not received any maintenance for two decades. One building\u00a0 is salvageable, but the other two, a barn and an old guesthouse that was damaged\u00a0 by fire in the 1990s, are not. Both are eyesores and visual reminders of darker\u00a0and sadder days at New Vrindaban, and will be taken down.<\/p>\n

Materials from them such as oak beams and concrete, however, will be recycled\u00a0 into other projects. This is evocative of the \u201cgreen\u201d way in which New Vrindaban\u00a0is approaching its renovations.<\/p>\n

For instance, the guest lodge has been remodeled using low volatile organic\u00a0 compound paint, energy saving CFL bulbs and non-toxic floor underlayment. And\u00a0water-filling stations are being installed throughout the property, with\u00a0reusable metal water bottles being made available to guests. Eventually, the\u00a0community hopes to completely eliminate the use of plastic water bottles.<\/p>\n

There are other self-sufficient initiatives, too. A team of devotees will\u00a0 soon be producing cream, yogurt, butter, ghee and other milk products for the\u00a0 Deities\u2019 daily offerings using only milk from New Vrindaban cows.<\/p>\n

And the garden crews are busy. They\u2019re planting seedlings for the Deity Flower\u00a0 Garden with a goal of providing all of the temple\u2019s flower needs throughout the\u00a0 2013 summer growing season.<\/p>\n

They\u2019re also planting 100 fruit trees, 50 nut trees, 110 berries, 20 grape\u00a0 vines and a variety of perennial vegetables. And they\u2019re installing three green\u00a0houses to expand agricultural production by starting the growing season earlier\u00a0 in the spring and extending it later into autumn.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile New Vrindaban\u2019s unique festivals are exploding with popularity.\u00a0 There\u2019s the Festival of Inspiration, now in its thirteenth year; the 24 Hour\u00a0 Kirtan, held every June; and the brand new Festival of Colors, which drew over\u00a0 1,000 young, white America students for its inaugural event last September.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe long range goal is to eventually fill up every weekend from May through\u00a0 September with a different festival that attracts different types of crowds,\u201d says Chaitanya Mangala.<\/p>\n

But with all these projects, the New Vrindaban board members are not\u00a0 forgetting that people are the most important part of a community.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn our meeting we discussed how to improve community spirit, so that the\u00a0 devotees are feeling strong in their relationships with each other and inspired,\u00a0 enthusiastic and supportive of one another,\u201d Chaitanya Mangala says.<\/p>\n

Ideas included taking lessons for success from other devotee communities,\u00a0 developing devotee care, training leaders to become better servant leaders, and\u00a0strengthening the relationships amongst devotees.<\/p>\n

The latter includes developing an underlying assumption of goodwill amongst\u00a0 the community members.<\/p>\n

\u201cDisagreements are going to come up no matter what,\u201d says Chaitanya Mangala. \u201cPrabhupada would say, \u2018People who believe in Utopia are impersonalists.\u2019 There\u00a0 is no such thing as a perfect scenario in this world. There are always going to\u00a0be challenges and disagreements. But the mindset in which you approach them can make all the difference in the world.\u201d<\/p>\n

At the end of the meetings, board members also invited community residents for an afternoon in which they presented what they had discussed, then opened up\u00a0 the floor for questions and concerns.<\/p>\n

Overall, they\u2019re feeling very positive that New Vrindaban can progress on\u00a0 from its past into a very bright future.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re blessed to be able to participate in manifesting Srila Prabhupada\u2019s\u00a0 grand vision of New Vrindaban,\u201d Chaitanya Mangala says. \u201cAlong the way, we all fall short and fail at times to live up to all of the ideals. But as long as we\u00a0 continue to participate and perservere, through that process we become stronger,\u00a0and eventually we do succeed.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
