Sometimes cleaning a room makes it look messier before it becomes clean. Similarly, the process of spiritual life can stir up things we've been holding onto for years.

Bhakta rupa and Prema sit down for a short catch up. They discuss the influence of the past on our present consciousness, the process of anartha-nivritti, and why spiritual purification can sometimes feel like things are getting worse before they get better.

Living off the land, cultivating the creeper of love in our heart & the benefits of being connected with nature.  

Bhaktin Kim, the manager for the Ty Krishna Cymru Farm Project, shares her story of she found spiritual life, as well as how she became more connected to Mother Earth. Other topics include:
•⁠  ⁠Working with nature
•⁠  ⁠Farming as a metaphor for spiritual practice
•⁠  ⁠Protecting our “bhakti creeper” in the early stages
•⁠  ⁠Life Lessons from soil, seasons, and cultivation

Śrīla Prabhupāda: Now, we must take to agricultural work—produce food and give protection to the cows. And if we produce a surplus, we can trade. It is a simple thing that we must do. Our people should live peacefully in farming villages, produce grain and fruit and vegetables, protect the cows, and work hard. And if there is a surplus, we can start restaurants. Kṛṣṇa conscious people will never be losers by following the instructions of Kṛṣṇa. They will live comfortably, without any material want, and tyaktvā dehaṁ punar janma naiti [Bhagavad-gītā 4.9]: After leaving this body they will go directly to God. This is our way of life.
