Page 105 - Defending Prabhupada Words - By Harivlas Das

Continuing Prabhupada’s legacy of farming and
cow protection, he developed a farm and dairy in
Redmond WA. The farm grows fresh vegetables and
distributes Ahimsa A2 Milk. Buoyed by the response,
he purchased another 20,000 sq.ft building in Bellevue,
WA for a second temple 2013. Soon he had a 50 acre
farm in Arlington, WA in 2021, a sanctuary for cows
that are no longer milking and for abandoned bulls.
They are protected until they die a natural death. He
runs another 42 acre farm in Whatcom which shelters
twenty milking cows.

In 2017, he purchased a new Food Truck and began
distribution of free Prasadam in downtown Seattle
bringing much needed relief to the homeless people of
that area. He organized the first Compassion Festival
for the homeless in Westlake Park in downtown
Seattle in 2018. During the festival he presented a
comprehensive plan to solve the homeless problem
by building Pioneer Vedic villages. He continued to
purchase two more free food trucks to increase food
distribution in Seattle in 2021 and 2022.

He is also a writer, penning fifteen books on Krishna
Conscious philosophy. In 2018, he retired from the
GBC to become a GBC Emeritus. At present, he is an
initiating ISKCON guru.
