MOTHER SURABHI
Cause of DiseaseIs Break in Chain
• The birth right of all living things is HEALTH• This law is true for soil, plant, animal and man. Health
of these four forms one connected chain• Any weakness or defect in the health of any earlier link
in the chain is carried on to the succeeding links, until it reaches the last, i.e., man
To retrace our steps bear in mind Nature dictates and conforms to her imperious
demand1. For the return of all wastes to the land2. For the mixture of animal and vegetable existence3. For the maintaining of an adequate reserve
of feeding the plant (Biodiversity)
Cause of Disease• The widespread vegetable and animal pests and diseases are
the evidence of a serious health failure in the second (plant) and third (animal) links of the chain
• The impaired health of human population (the fourth link) is the result of failure in the second and third links
• This general failure in the last three links is to be attributed to failure in the first link, i.e., the soil
Undernourishment of soil is at the root of all
Characteristics of Nature’s FarmingMother Earth never attempts to farm without livestock✓ Raises mixed crops - Biodiversity✓ Preserves the soil - no soil erosion✓ Process of growth and decay balance one another. Mixed
animal and vegetable waste converts to humus - nothing goes to waste✓ Greatest care is taken to store the rainfall - effective rainfall
Grazing for Soil Health
Building Soil
• How do we “Heal the land”?Purchased soil amendments (fertilizer, lime, etc) should be a capital investment NOT an annual expense.
• How can we improve our soil without purchasing additional inputs? The only known tool to heal the land is “animal impact”.
- Allan Savory
Healing the Soil
What is “Animal Impact”? • Animal impact is everything that livestock do to the
land. This includes dunging, urinating, hoof action, rubbing, salivating, etc.
• Animal impact is the most powerful tool to manage grassland resources. Its effective utilization reduces spot grazing, controls weeds and brush
competition, improves manure distribution, and produces seed/soil contact.
High Density – Short Time
Working for us…!
Dung Beetles in Action
Taking it into various depths in the soil
Clearing of Bushes
Bringing sub-soil to the surface
Bio-Turbation
The Tunnel Systems Improves the physical structure of the soil by• Bringing sub soil to the soil surface (Bio-Turbation)• Incorporating organic matter into the soil• Increasing aeration• Reducing compaction
“Flow-on” Effect of the Improved Soil Structure
• Increases water infiltration and reduces soil erosion• Increases biological activity (of micro-organisms and
earth worms)• Improves soil fertility because of bio-turbation• Stronger root growth leads to higher yields• Improves water holding capacity of the soil• Reduces surface-pounding

0.56 1 1 81 cow in 0.55 cents for 1 day grazing 8 hrs /day-. The monthly area is further divided to daily grazing plots
0.14 1 21 cow 0.14 cents for 2 hrs grazing to totally graze 8 hrs a day by further dividing 8hrs into4 parts
Planning of Grazing
Building Soil with High Density GrazingWater-Holding capacity of organic matter behaves similar to a sponge, with ability to absorb and hold up to 90 percent of its weight in water.A great advantage of the water-holding capacity of organic matter is that the matter will release most of the water that it absorbs to plants. In contrast, clay holds great quantities of water, but much of it is unavailable to plants.
Can we Control Run-off with Organic Matter (OM)?
• 2% OM will hold 32,000 gallons of water or 21% of a 5.5 inch rain.
• 5% OM will hold 80,000 gallons of water or 53% of a 5.5 inch rain.
• 8% OM will hold 128,000 gallons of water or 85% of a 5.5 inch rain.
How do we Heal the Land?
More roots in the soil implies longer rest periods which helps
• Feed the microorganisms • Withstand droughts
better• Pull minerals from
deeper in the soil
Root Diversity
Manure Pits• It is not natural - nature does not collect the
excrement of her fauna in this way• Three deleterious processes are induced1. The rich exudation which leaves the heap, is like an
open artery - all goodness gets drained2. Considerable loss of Nitrogen due to establishment of anaerobic flora3. Putrification as a result of lack of oxygen- release of noxious gases
Manure Pits
Adverse Effect of Dung Pits on Trees
When the Soil is Healthy• Plants are healthy• Green cover is healthy• Animals are healthy• Man is healthy

This was my Dream“So this was my dream, that a place
should be there where we can get all nice foods, best foods, of milk. Krishna is fulfilling our desire.”
Srila Prabhupada, Conversation, Toronto, June 21, 1976.
“The protection of cows… is not merely a religious sentiment but a means to secure the highest benefit for human society.”
