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. 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.

Buoyed by the strong response, he purchased another
20,000 sq.ft building in the hub of Bellevue downtown
area in WA in 2013 and now launched new Balaji temple
in 2024.
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.
