Against the backdrop of the wonderful natural regeneration of the landscape at Navadarshanam, we have established a small settlement where we have put into practice various ideas of using appropriate technology, permaculture principles and traditional knowledge systems to live sustainably on the land. We have also helped create and continue to guide the operation of a village Food Initiative that is now owned and operated by the the surrounding village community with a focus of providing organic and sustainable food choices to urban consumers while ensuring fair price for farmers and supporting local livelihood.

As with everything, there is constant change and over time our focus shifts between the different facets of sustainable living and with it the challenges we face change as well. The one constant here which is the source of our resilience is the spiritual underpinnings that guide our actions.
