18 Nov 2024A spiritually nourishing and well organised yatra that gave us a unique opportunity to visit and worship at many of the principal places in Vrindavan, Calcutta and Mayapur. Culminating in Govardhan Rco village was a bonus that gave us an opportunity to catch our breath and reflect on the yatra undertaken.

18 Nov 2024The retreat was truly a wonderful and enriching experience. We were blessed with every opportunity to connect with God, and the association of the devotees was incredibly inspiring. Everyone was so loving, kind, and helpful, creating a warm and welcoming atmosphere. It felt like being part of a close-knit family, with everyone looking out for one another. I still cherish the memory of the delicious prasadam we were served at every place we visited—it was truly divine. I deeply appreciate the beautiful arrangements that were thoughtfully made, and the humility and kindness of the devotees left a lasting impression on my heart. I am immensely grateful for such a fulfilling and uplifting experience.
