I spoke a little on the need for more devotees to take up the Vrindavan lifestyle and that very lifestyle is meant to unlock both the material and spiritual gifts of nature.
Most devotees just cannot understand why the material aspect of dharma, which has to do with right living, right eating, right working, and eventually right dying, is so vital for our spiritual life as there is a direct connection when we are still in our conditioned state.

Our most active member promoting the Varnasrama Mission online in North America is Sri Garuda Pandit Prabhu now in Ontario. He has already completed reading Speaking About Varnasrama in his Varnasrama Study Circle and is now reading his second book Make Vrindavan Villages.
The section they are reading now speaks about the need for more devotees to make the Varnasrama Shift which actually requires a paradigm shift.
When we become devotees and take to spiritual practices, we actually have to make a paradigm shift.
And to become actually conscious of the Varnasrama Mission to the point if embracing it, we need to also make another paradigm shift.
This pastime of Srila Bhaktisiddhanta Sarasvati Thakur instructing his disciples to grow food is most appropriate. One fine day Srila Prabhupada Bhaktisiddhanta Sarasvati Thakur requested his disciples to grow food. When only one disciple followed the instruction he himself took to gardening for two weeks.
