He moved to Gita Nagari farm in 1980 with his family where he learned about cow protection, agriculture and ox training. Ten years later Balabadra and family incorporated ISCOWP, left Gita Nagari and moved to a North Carolina  devotee community in Hillsborough, North Carolina. There they established a small farm and acquired their first team of oxen, Vraja and Gita. In 1999, Bir Krishna Goswami recommended Balabhadra as ISKCON Global Minister for Cow Protection and Agriculture. Until 2012, Balabhadra traveled to many countries as ISKCON's Global Minister and also established the 165 acre  ISCOWP center in West Virginia.  If you would like to sponsor a Sunday Feast, to commemorate a special occasion (like birthday or wedding anniversary) or just in general, please write to us at isvconnect@gmail.com.
