Bharatiya Vedic Krishi Parampara (BVKP) Farm Movement

Why the BVKP Farm Movement was Started

In traditional Indian agriculture, earth was revered as our mother ‘Bhumata’ and the bountiful cow as ‘Go Mata’. In fact, all of nature was looked upon with reverence. So, traditional Indian agricultural practices were gentle and caring of the earth. Sustainability of both man and nature was thus ensured with each nourishing the other.
The Bharatiya Vedic Krishi Parampara (started in 2011) agricultural project is our attempt to bring back Traditional Indian Agriculture that was based on holistic understanding of the natural processes inherent to life.
BVKP is our endeavour to nurture mother earth or Bhumata. It is also our endeavour at BVKP to protect Go Mata, the nurturing Indian cow, the backbone of Indian economy, soil fertility and our spiritual well-being.

How the nourishing Gomata (Indian Cow) enables the Farm to produce food that is pure and natural

The BVKP farm is cow centric, making it completely natural & chemical free. All the manure used is cow dung.
Pesticides used for the crops are derived from cow urine and herbal extracts.
The cows here are not tethered, or confined to concrete enclosures. They are allowed to graze benignly under the watchful eye of a cowherd, nibble on the medicinal herbs that grow sporadically in the area, bask in the sunlight, and even listen to music. In this modern age, though there are a number of goshalas, in most of these goshalas, the cows are not allowed to graze but are tethered and fed in the shelter itself. Grazing cows are healthier than non-grazing cows, as they have access to nourishing herbs in the farm and they get to exercise their limbs. This makes their milk, manure and related products highly nutritious.
Even the floor cleaning fluids used for the farm’s indoor spaces is derived from distilled cow urine mixed with herbal extracts, a potent formulation that looks crystal clear and is amazingly devoid of odour.
Needless to say the Farm produce is completely organic and highly nutritious

How the Farm creates awareness amongst our children about living in harmony with Nature

As part of BVKP, we conduct workshops and farm visits ( “Parampara BVKP Farm workshop” )for school children at our farm. The programme aims at making young children understand how they get their food, how farmers labour to meet their needs of existence, the importance of Bhumata (Mother Earth) and Gomata (Indian Cow) to human existence and why and how we need to care for them.
