Dear prabhus,
Saranagati dhama has two notable opulences. One of them is an abundance of spacious outdoor privacy. All together there are two thousand acres of forests and fields with no immediate neighbors in any direction. This makes an ideal setting for
retreats and festivals. In order to share this resource with you we are organizing a three-day Krishna Balarama festival in August. We want those who attend to have fun, make new friends, deepen their Krishna consciousness, and to leave feeling refreshed, inspired and happy. The other opulence is the sincere mature devotees who inhabit the valley. To share this resource we will be offering several seminars as part of the celebration.
Partha and Uttama have been working members of the North American Grihastha Vision Team for several years now. Their courses on Vaishnava family values are entertaining,
educational and suitable for young couples, old couples, and
those considering marriage in the future.
Yamala Arjuna’s Vedic sweat lodge is a men only affair providing an atmosphere for cleansing, bonding and telling “guy jokes.”
Yamuna Devi and Dinatarine are two of the movement’s most exemplary Vaishnavis. The seminars that they are organizing with Radha Kunda and Kartamasya will focus on the profound
experience which comes from the simple yet serious practice of
Krishna consciousness.
Visakha dasi is respected throughout the movement for her deep understanding of the Krishna conscious philosophy. Her women’s circle will provide a forum for Vaishnavis to celebrate their unique contribution to the Krishna consciousness movement and to reflect on their individual and collective potentials.
Late August is a particularly pleasant time here. The mosquitoes are practically gone by then and the gardens are in full production. The cool air both in the mornings and evenings
is especially fresh with a slight hint of autumn.
Children of all ages love the freedom and security of so much roaming space. And we have some Krishna conscious projects to help fill their days.
While you’re here we’ll provide hot showers and lots of nourishing prasädam, but our accommodations are a little Spartan. You’ll either have to camp out in your own tent or
share some dormitory type lodging. For those who don’t like either option there are several motels in the towns of Spences Bridge (south of us) and Cache Creek (north of us), both about a 30-minute drive from the valley.
So please start making your plans now and join us for the Vaishnava adventure of the year, Lord Balarama’s Raft-a-Yatra, Honey Harvest and Getting-to-Know-You Festival.
