Volunteering experience at the Eco Farm!
Krishna Eco Farm的点评
点评：I just finished a month of volunteering at the Krishna Eco Farm and I must say, what a fantastic and life changing experience it was!
From the moment I arrived, I instantly felt welcome and at home. Which was a really nice feeling and set me off on a good start. I was shown around the ashram and farm when I arrived and was very impressed by it all.
My reason for volunteering here was to help with the garden and learn more about gardening. But I also had an interest in learning more about Krishna consciousness too.
The farm is beautiful with an abundance of fruits and vegetables being grown, so there is plenty to do (depending on the time of year) but be prepared to get stuck into some weeding from time to time. Which in all honesty, I actually enjoyed sometimes! It was a really nice environment to work in. It felt casual and at our own pace, we would be allocated tasks and left to complete them. You always felt a real sense of achievement when you had completed a task. Me and the volunteers felt very well looked after by our team leader Isana, who organised everything around the farm. He is a busy man but he will aim to teach you a thing or two, but don't expect intense training. You will find you will teach yourself most of it which is still nice. I would say after a month of being at the farm I definitely know a lot more about gardening than I did before I came.
There are various tasks you get allocated throughout the week, which all get disrupted very fairly. Though it states you have one day off a week. You technically have two as Sundays are very chill because that is when they host their Sunday program. There are lots of great activities you can get involved with after your morning tasks that day. You can join in the alpaca walk (yes they have two alpacas on the farm, which you get to look after!!) yoga, the Sunday feast followed by Kirtan and a talk. This is a great way to meet some of the locals too, as lots of people from around the area and Glasgow join in for the day.
If you have never heard of Krishna consciousness before, then don't worry. Everyone here is very open to receiving and answering any questions you have - I asked a lot myself! I found everyone to be very warm hearted and caring, you can get a real sense of their love to the practice of Krishna Consciousness. Creating a really beautiful and enlightening energy around the whole place. If you are concerned that they are going to try and "convert", let that fear go as this does not happen! Everything that goes on around Krishna Consciousness is open for you to join in at your own will. I personally got involved with as much as I could and found I had some incredible experience, especially with some of the Kirtans!!
The morning practice is a great way to start the day, who wouldn't want to start their morning singing and dancing! The morning kirtan is then followed by a lesson which I found very inspiring and enlightening.
The food is so delicious and I actually miss eating it! They were very nice to cater for my dietary requirements which I was very grateful for. You ate together in the hall for all three meals which was always nice as it made it feel like a community.
The Women's ashram is a decent size, It was very clean and comfortable. With everything you needed in a living space. Everyone who lived there would take it in turns to clean and tidy which was a nice system as it kept the place clean. I found I slept very well as all the volunteers I stayed with were very respectable with noise.
Coming to the Krishna Eco Farm was such an eye opening experience that taught me a lot about myself. I got to meet so many wonderful people and make some new and amazing friends. I learnt lots about gardening and got to spend lots of time out in nature which was really grounding for me. However I was fortunate to have incredible weather when I was there as Scottish weather can be unpredictable. I also came to the farm with an open mind about Krishna Consciousness and can honestly say I feel more connected to God/Krishna/Higher force/Universe whatever you want to call it, than I did before I came. Which to me is extremely powerful and has enlightened me in so many ways and for that I am so very grateful for my time at the farm and for everyone there. I will be sure to come visit again in the future. Hare Krishna!

翻译：我刚刚在克里希纳生态农场完成了一个月的志愿服务，我必须说，这是一次多么美妙且改变生活的经历！
从我到达的那一刻起，我立即感到宾至如归。这真是一种很好的感觉，让我有了一个良好的开端。当我到达时，我被带到了修道院和农场，这一切给我留下了深刻的印象。
我来这里做志愿者的原因是帮助打理花园并了解更多关于园艺的知识。但我也有兴趣更多地了解克里希纳意识。
农场很漂亮，种植着丰富的水果和蔬菜，因此有很多事情可做（取决于一年中的时间），但要做好时不时除草的准备。老实说，有时我真的很享受！这是一个非常好的工作环境。感觉很随意，按照我们自己的节奏，我们会被分配任务并留下来完成它们。当你完成一项任务时，你总是会感到一种真正的成就感。我和志愿者们都感到我们的团队领导 Isana 照顾得很好，他组织了农场周围的一切。他是个忙碌的人，但他的目标是教你一两件事，但不要指望进行密集的训练。你会发现大部分内容都是你自己自学的，这仍然很好。我想说，在农场呆了一个月后，我对园艺的了解肯定比来之前要多得多。
一周中你会被分配各种各样的任务，这些任务都会被非常公平地打乱。虽然它规定你每周休息一天。从技术上讲，你有两个，因为周日非常寒冷，因为那是他们举办周日节目的时间。当天早上的任务结束后，您可以参加很多精彩的活动。您可以参加羊驼散步活动（是的，农场里有两只羊驼，您可以照顾它们！）、瑜伽、周日盛宴，然后是 Kirtan 和演讲。这也是结识当地人的好方法，因为当天有很多来自该地区和格拉斯哥的人们参加。
如果您以前从未听说过奎师那知觉，那么请不要担心。这里的每个人都非常愿意接受并回答您的任何问题 - 我自己也问了很多问题！我发现每个人都非常热情和关怀，你可以真正感受到他们对奎师那知觉练习的热爱。在整个地方创造一种真正美丽和启发性的能量。如果您担心他们会尝试“皈依”，那就让恐惧消失吧，因为这种情况不会发生！围绕奎师那知觉发生的一切都是开放的，供你按照自己的意愿加入。我个人尽可能多地参与其中，发现我有一些令人难以置信的经历，特别是与一些 Kirtan 一起！
晨练是开始新的一天的好方法，谁不想从早上的歌舞开始呢！早上的克伊尔坦之后是一堂课，我发现这非常鼓舞人心和启发性。
食物是如此美味，我真的很想念它！他们非常乐意满足我的饮食要求，对此我非常感激。你们一起在大厅里吃三顿饭，这总是很好，因为它让人感觉就像一个社区。
女子静修所大小合适，非常干净舒适。拥有生活空间所需的一切。每个住在那里的人都会轮流打扫卫生，这是一个很好的系统，因为它保持了这个地方的清洁。我发现我睡得很好，因为和我住在一起的所有志愿者都非常尊重噪音。
来到克里希纳生态农场是一次令人大开眼界的经历，它教会了我很多关于自己的知识。我认识了很多很棒的人，结识了一些很棒的新朋友。我学到了很多关于园艺的知识，并且花了很多时间在大自然中，这对我来说真的很重要。然而，我很幸运在那里遇到了令人难以置信的天气，因为苏格兰的天气难以预测。我也以对克里希纳意识的开放态度来到农场，并且可以诚实地说，与我来之前相比，我感觉与上帝/克里希纳/更高的力量/宇宙的联系更加紧密，无论你怎么称呼它。这对我来说非常强大，并在很多方面启发了我，为此我非常感谢我在农场的时光以及那里的每个人。将来我一定会再次光临。克利须那教派（印度教！
