A short film has recently been released about Govardhan Ecovillage, a project led by Radhanath Swami. The film’s Executive Producer, Judy Queler, brought to India Robyn Symon, who produced and directed the film along with her team from Symon Productions Inc.
Govardhan Ecovillage illustrates “Simple Living & High Thinking” – a principle succinct yet profound, which formed the basis of life in the bygone age of wisdom. Life in the Vedic times was focused upon service, not upon exploitation. This was the cardinal rule of living and the very essence of people’s dealings, with one another and with Mother Nature. With the concepts of eco-living being innate, the Vedic lifestyle was truly an eco- friendly way of living, as portrayed in the timeless Vedic scriptures like Srimad Bhagavatam and Bhagavad-gita.
Govardhan Ecovillage is situated on 50 acres of pristine farmland in the Wada district of Maharashtra. Although its rustic charm and sylvan ambience belie the fact, it is only a two-and-a-half hour drive north of Mumbai, South Asia’s economic powerhouse. The addition to the community of the Lady Northcote Hindu Orphanage in 2002 brought the total number of residents to 100.
