This site is dedicated to
getting your help in the making of a better tomorrow for those
who need it the most. Children who haven't known what a full
meal is. Children who haven't known what a good caring treatment
was when they were sick and children who don't know what
education is meant for are the beneficiaries of your kind help.
Also imagine a world where nature is not cared for and animals
no longer exist and green is no longer seen. What a dreadful
thought! Let not this nightmare become reality. Please lend a
helping hand, contribute as much as is comfortable and see the
new smiles that you bring.

BEV
is dedicated to the education of the poor, giving natural
alternative medical relief, providing pure nutritious food,
upliftment of humanity by spiritual values, protection of
wildlife and conservation of nature. Our programs focus on what
scientists consider two of the most serious drawbacks of today.
Firstly is illiteracy for the poor and secondly the negligence
to protect our natural resources. With your help we teach by
practical examples how our children the inheritors of our
planet, can live a better tomorrow. We propose to establish
model prototype villages based on example as well as precept.
Practical
Example:
How
we help you conserve nature.
The continued extinction of species would deprive future
generations of the chance to enjoy, study and benefit from
hundreds of thousands of species, which means fewer varieties of
foodstuffs and medicines. We seek to shape public perception and
policy to recognize this grave risk to human beings everywhere
by preserving our scarce natural reserves for future
generations.
Ancient History of Site:
The
historical significance of the site of the Bhaktivedanta
Eco-Village at Kudachadri Mountain is elucidated in the ancient
epics such as Mahabharata, Ramayana and Bhagavat Purana. The
incarnation of Lord Rishabadeva had the specific purpose of
re-establishing varnashram in this world as a system of
governance. The present site on the side of the "Kutakachala"
mountain is the exact spot where Lord Rishabadeva left this
mortal world in a forest fire.
This Kudachadri mountain is also reputed to be the topmost peak
of the mountain carried by mighty Hanuman containing the
sanjeevani herbs that revived Sri Ram and Laxman. The Narasimha
Purana gives an exacting description in the Sahyadri Mahatmya
and hallows this spot as the adored adobe of Lord Vishnu in this
world and equates all the water tirtha's with the sacred Ganges
River in potencies. The location is non-different from Vaikunta
Dhama in this world. Other various descriptions are also
elucidated in numerous holy scriptures hallowed by millions.
They call the sacred forests surrounding the site as a "siddhi
kshetram" where all perfection's can be quickly achieved 1,000's
of times faster than when performed in other places. Lord
Krishna & Rukmini, Shankacharya, Lord Rama & Laxman, Garuda,
Agastya Rishi, Kolla Maharishi, etc. all performed pastimes in
this sacred place. The forests that surround the lands are known
as the sporting gardens in this mortal world of Ambika, the
Divine Mother of the Universe.
