About ISKCON Sircilla Project
ISKCON FARM AT NERELLA
ISKCON farm at nerella is surrounded by lush green agricultural fields. Nerella is a small village, 12 kms away from its district headquarters and bustling city of Sircilla. Sircilla is the textile hub of Telangana with more than fourty thousand powerlooms.
ISKCON farm is spread over an area of 16 acres which was donated by adhyatmika seva Samithi for the sole purpose of propagating the vedic culture.
Lord krishna in his childhood life at Vrindavan taught us how to live a life depending on nature, cows and a devotee community of like minded people so that the purpose of human life is fulfilled without getting distracted to the illusory material enjoyment.
ISKCON farm at nerella is designed in such a way that it becomes the spiritual hub attracting millions of devotees to the lotus feet of lord krishna. Project comprises a beautiful temple of lord jagannath baladev Subhadra in traditional south indian architecture. A goshala sheltering 100-120 cows to be cared for and rising the subsequent fodder for the cows including a gobar gas unit to convert the cow dung to natural fuel. 60-70% of the farm will be green featuring fruit trees, flowers plants, vegetables etc.. Multipurpose halls for hosting devotional programs and congregational preachings. A special annadaan kitchen and prasadam dining hall for a capacity of 1000 people eating at one time. An ashram for the fulltime brahmacharis and grihasthas to stay in the farm and execute their daily sevas. Comfortable Guest house cottages for the visiting devotees to stay at iskcon farm in the lap of nature and experience a devotee community life style centered around krishna and cows. Huge water well to meet the demands of cultivation and also for harvesting the rain water. Sewage treatment plant to recycle the waste water. The whole farm project will be filled with beautiful pathways,trees, lotus ponds, solar street lights, traditional arches etc…to give the visiting members a divine experience of krishna consciousness and make their life successful.
Come let us join our hands together to make this beautiful farm project as an offering to our spiritual masters and supreme lord sri krishna, with whose blessings we can be always happy and reach back to godhead by leading a pure devotional life of krishna consciousness and also help others to achieve the same goal.
