Principle 21
Stewardship
Environmental Stewardship: Sourcing with Respect
As devotees of Krishna, we recognize the Earth (Bhumi-Devi) as a sacred provider and treat her with respect.
The Philosophy
Sustainability is not a modern trend but a Vedic value. We try to use resources wisely, minimize waste, and support agricultural practices that do not harm the soul of the soil.
In the Kitchen
- Zero Waste: Using vegetable scraps for compost or stock.
- Organic: support local farmers who use natural, non-violent farming methods.
Spiritual Benefits
Stewardship develops a sense of interconnectedness with all of God's creation. It fosters gratitude and a sense of being a part of a larger, sacred ecosystem.
