Ganga Sagara Baru (GSB)

DESCRIPTION

GSB is the second vaisnava farming project in Central Kalimantan which is located in Lupak village, Kapuas. There are two ways to reach this project, by land and river transportation. The land is about 125 Ha, mostly are idle lands and affected by tidal wave of sea because it’s only 10 KM from the nearest beach. This condition brings many benefits for farming, especially tidal rice farming.

This project was started in May, 2003. And now there is only one family consists of 4 people who live in GSB. Therefore, it is quite difficult to have this project grown. In August 2005, the Deities of Panca Tatva and Prabhupada were instaled here by HG Gaura Mandala Bhumi and HH Bhakti Raghava Swami Maharaja. They also have two cows brought from Lalita Pura Seva Kunja. Their cow dung are so helpful for planting flowers and vegetables. devotees

Beside the activities of farming, devotees already built some facilities, such as a building used for altar and living, rice barn, kitchen and goshala.

SHORT TERM PLAN

Planting paddy, vegetables, fruits and flowers for daily need and puja; protecting cows and serving Panca Tatva,

LONG TERM PLAN

Having the whole land secured, not only from other people who live near the project and like to steal our resources like woods, but also from palm plantation factory; developing the project to be vaisnava village; promoting the project to other devotees to join.

CURRENTLY NEED

Actually, we really need more man power both to maintain the project and to open more land for farming and living.
