Siddhidata Kulam Garden And Water Activity
June 29, 2014When Gurudeva made Sannyasin Yoginathaswami the Talaivar of the Siddhidata Kulam, two of the commissions Gurudeva gave him were to make a "no tractor" garden and also to keep our water streams flowing. Anna Purna garden is composed of an enclosed area with raised beds surround by fruit trees. The team recently added another 12 beds to the garden. We also we up to inspect the reservoir yesterday, which feeds our stream and also vents into the Wailua River just about 1/4 of a mile above Iraivan.
Here is a recent Siddhidata Kulam harvest report from the last week of May. Just imagine what it would cost to buy all this! And this does not include the fruit harvest of Bananas, Papayas, Chiku and others

Twelve new vegetable garden beds were set up in Anna Purna garden. Here is the team just after the concrete truck had arrived and they are filling in all the forms. These raised beds are very successful and the team brings in sometimes over 150 pounds of fresh vegetables each phase.

The Wailua Reservoir just to the north of San Marga is a crucial source of water for the Aadheenam streams and gardens.
