About Me
- Yahqappu Adaikkalam
- Batu Arang, Selangor, Malaysia
- After being in the food industry for 6 years, I decided that I wanted to lead a simple life without the pressures of living in the city. In 2003, I left my restaurant business in Kuala Lumpur, picked up farming tips from books and the Internet and started a 1.5 acre organic farm in Batu Arang, Selangor. I have the triad way of approacing life that is economic viability, cultural/social integrational depth and profound spiritual fullness .My intention in the beginning is to have an ashram which has the balance of the body(economy),soul(society)and spirit(spirituality). Here, I feel that I have found my paradise through the privilege of working the earth , communal living with the locals and high spiritual aspiration of the reign of God.

Hi Yahqappu,
ReplyDeleteThank you very much for sharing this interview. I'm still working on my thesis about expectations of WWOOF hosts and volunteers.
I've asked you this question before:
What else do you want to share concerning expectations between hosts and volunteers?
You answered that "The philosophy must be developed and constantly checked by relationship."
Could you please explain this further?
What is this philosophy?
What do you mean by "constantly checked by relationship"?
How can this be done?
Thankfully,
Mary
The relationship determined philosophy of thankfulness to the cosmos. The host and volunteer develops a thesis and a bonding which leads to a lifestyle. All three cognitive, emotive and the volitive involved way of looking at the world. Can U give me the context of my statement also?
DeleteThank you for you answer. The context of the statement is as follows:
DeleteWhat do you consider as your responsibilities to your wwoofers?
What would you suggest to wwoofers so they could fully meet the expectations of their hosts?
Would you continue hosting? Why?
What else do you want to share concerning expectations between hosts and volunteers?
Then, you provided the following answers:
My responsibilities are to try to transfer as much of my beliefs as I can to make a better world.
To be as humble as possible to learn the other point of view.
Yes,because it is a joy to meet people and to reciprocate with them.
The philosophy must be developed and constantly checked by relationship.
Could you elaborate further about the bonding and lifetstyle of the host and volunteer? Thank you.
By living together the bodily communication is louder then the verbal. Whatever U hold in the subconscious will be revealed sooner of later so it is a matter of time that a philosophy is developed particularly to that relationship since everyone will be different. Your home becomes a base for exchange that gives birth to a new breakthroughs ...
