Teacher Bio

Achyuta did not grow up in the countryside or on a farm, but after a few years of meeting devotees, he moved into the temple as a full-time monk. It was here that he developed an interest in nature and mother earth through the bhakti tradition and the farm and the cows at the manor. While at the manor, he went to India and visited many goshalas there, and stayed at the goshala in Govardhan Eco Village for a month and was really inspired in this time. Achyuta then decided to come back to the UK and to university and achieved a BSc in Environmental Sciences and International Development. After university, Achyuta has been employed full time as the goshala manager at the manor.
