Gurudev, many of us farmers have come to the ashram from Nepal. Can you please discuss a little about organic farming?

Sri Sri Ravi Shankar:

Yes, we must all promote organic farming. I will ask our agriculture department to hold a separate session for this with all of you. They will show you the permaculture techniques here.
You know, the bottle gourd that we have grown using organic farming techniques is up to six feet in length. All this is possible when we adopt chemical-free farming techniques. They have not used any kind of chemical fertilizers for this, and have used all natural techniques to get such good yield.
