Gokuldham is a model Vedic village community project developed by ISKCON Belagavi (Belgaum) under the guidance of Bhakti Rasamrita Swami, spread over 450 acres of land nestled in the beautiful Sahyadri Hills at a distance of 40 kms from Belgaum.
The purpose for setting up Gokuldham was to recreate an ideal, self-sufficient Vedic village where a spirit of co-operation is nurtured, hard-work is encouraged and above all residents are taught to be sensitive to the environment around them.
Such a spirit of co-operation, harmony and sensitivity to local environment and culture is missing in today’s highly competitive and globalised world where people increasingly find themselves enslaved by consumerism and increasing material wants and desires.
Gokuldham is based on the economic principle of using only what is locally produced and producing only what is needed which was Srila Prabhupada’s simple principle of self-sufficiency.
He was initiated by the spiritual name His Grace Devamrita Dasa. Rooted in his study of ancient India’s mystic devotional tradition, Radhanath Swami’s message is as profound as it is simple: by cultivating a rich inner life of self-awareness and a genuine practice of service, we can become instruments of compassion and agents of sustainable change in the world.

In today’s highly industrialised and mechanised world with more and more people migrating to urban areas to lead what they think is a better life, most of India’s rural communities are disintegrating due to lack of manpower and other resources.
In the ISKCON farms they are sheltered in barns (goshala), wherein they are left free to graze in the day and fed with healthy stapple, and are taken care of.
Bhakti Rasamrita Swami has established such a goshala atGokuldham, as well as the Nandagram Goshala in Olamani, Karnataka, India.
