A Bun Dance Farm

Monroe, Oregon,

United States

(www.pottingblocks.com)

Seeking active members of the Self Realization Fellowship and/or Ananda founded by our Guru Preceptor ,Paramahansa Yogananda and Swami Kriyananda respectively , to live with 1-2 other devotees on 5.37 acres in Alpine, Oregon. We have a buildable home site, drink fresh spring water, level fertile farmland mixed with native forest, well for irrigation, etc.

Currently we are raising fruits and vegetables and angora rabbits for wool.

We seek financially stable devotees to share in the land and strengthen our meditation and devotion to God, Christ, Krishna, Gurus. We choose Alpine, Oregon for its beauty, community potential, soil, clean air and water, proximity to Eugene or Corvallis (SRF meditation circles in both cities, Ananda in Portland 100 miles to the north), peace, quietude, 1.5 hours to the coast,

low taxes, and easy access.

We have always wanted to be in a community, but never knew how, not because we aren't skilled or hard workers, but because we needed an unbreakable, unshakable Spriritual foundation on which to build divine friendship and partnerships. With Yogananda as our guide and Guru, we know we can solve all of our life's little problems by deep concentration, will power, and by searching for our Heavenly Father together. We are open for all things possible. We would like to model our home life after Yogananda's Brotherhood Colony aims and ideals. However, time is of the essence here, and we would like to stay focused on our search for God. We will help you build your home, and then we can all work together to provide all of our "necessary necessities".

If you are an Ananda member, SRF member, student or Kriyaban, and a whole hearted devotee of Paramahansa Yogananda, and are looking for land and an opportunity to build, contact us, we might have the country living situation you seek for your peace and devotion.

OM, Peace, Ahhh-men
