Costa Rica Farm – A Possible Settlement

BY: JAGANNATH MISHRA DASA 

Lets assume that all parties involved in the Costa Rica situation have a genuine desire for the best outcome for Srila Prabhupada’s mission. Why not give six months to a year to the devotees at the farm, led by Harinamananada, to try their plan as delineated here?

 If they accomplish what they propose in the last letters by Harinamananda Prabhu (business with Walmart, etc.), that will surely boost the local situation and will ensure the farm existence and preaching possibilities in the city too. <p>If not agreeing, the local GBC and the rest of the authorities will have to give sound arguments that might not have been expressed yet as to why the farm should be sold. Srila Prabhupada’s generic instructions on the matter are overwhelming and the ball is in the court of the ones who want to sell, not the ones who want to preserve it, even if the latter are not right.
