Back in 1997, i believe Muniandi, Kartik and i started this place called today Solitude.
We did not last very long, we were young but lacked funds to follow up the work on the land which is very suitable for framing.
Krishna came in the picture very gracefully! seriously. He inspired and passionate of natural farming has created an amazing place in Auroville, South India.
They eat of the land (99% grown on the land). He plays the guitar and sings.

Preperation for the Vegetable garden 2009
Beautiful showers the night before – thank you!
Will not give credit to my little mini rain dance that I did jokingly in front of them folks :)
My roommate Catherine has been persisting that we give attention to the vegetable garden soon – I had to promise to do it as soon as it rained. it would be easier on our hands to pull out the grown weeds making the garden a forest of weeds.
Beautiful day indeed! After a good session of pranayama and feeding our stomachs with Auroville bread we made our way to the weed forest :)
What a site, butterflies fluttering all over!
Why remove the weeds? Many say it is to give more energy to the actual plants we want, others would say it looks cleaner or easier to plant your seedlings, etc.
Am sure there is a reason for weeds and a harmony between the plants. The weeds we remove, we will put them back around the seedlings to protect from the sun.
Throughout the year if we had removed the weeds or piled leaves on/around the plants; it would have cut out the sun to the weeds and slowed their growth.
Today Friday, we will receive the seeds so that we can soak them in our saliva and germinate them before transplanting them to the garden.
Soaking the seeds, not all, of course, that would be funny! The few that we soak will influence the others. The idea is that they will register our biochemical beings and will grow to provide for us to be healthy human beings. You can see vividly the difference when we soak them in our saliva J
We trying to grow veggies the whole year.
