Sister Jayanti visits Tapovan in April: Class took place in this lovely and saw the very beautiful Meditation Hall for the first time. Yogic Agriculture has been taken up in a big way here, with regular training for BK/Contacts Farmers taking place. Experts from various areas of agriculture gather here to help as well. We have 75 acres of land in Tapovan and it’s really a very lovely place with many fruit trees and plantation of vegetables.
