Introducing Saranagati Village, a bucolic Hare Krishna community in southeast British Columbia. Bear country folks. All the houses are off the grid and the raspberries are plentiful. We spent three days here and spotted an eagle on our way out. Auspicious.This community is the home of one of the most famous and respected chefs in the Hare Krishna movement. Her name is Yamuna Devi Dasi Prabhu and by Krishna's mercy I spent several days in her glorious company. Above are some pictures from her garden, which surrounds her straw bale house/ashram. One afternoon we were invited for lunch. I was in ecstasy. Seconds, thirds, fourths. My travelling comadres literally had to drag me out of the door.
The official ISKCON temple in Saranagati is inside a solarium. I like the way these folks are thinking. Leaving was tough but Seattle was awaiting our arrival.
