Recently, Hare Krishna Valley in Victoria, Australia, joyfully celebrated their annual Boat Festival with around 400 guests, including special guest, Jahnavi Harrison. “The Deities of Radha and Krishna looked stunning as They glided across the spring in a beautifully decorated boat, accompanied by the heartfelt singing of devotees gathered along the banks, said Keshava Dasa, Krishna Valley’s manager, “After the boat ride, we continued in a lively procession up the hill, where everyone enjoyed a delightful picnic lunch on the lawn. We’re already looking forward to celebrating this beautiful tradition again next year!”
More About Krishna Valley
Hare Krishna Valley was founded in 1987 as a rural community for the members of the Hare Krishna Movement. The current manager, Keshava Dasa, and his wife, Atulya Devi Dasi, have lived in the Valley for the past seventeen years. Keshava says, “Hare Krishna Valley is an alternative community that recognizes the importance of living in harmony with nature and implementing sustainable practices. Our focus is on cow protection, organic farming, protection of wildlife, forest regeneration, and developing solar energy. These are all positive steps towards a more responsible and sustainable lifestyle.”
Hare Krishna Valley holds regular retreats on various topics, including vegan/vegetarian cooking, yoga, meditation, Vedic astrology, Ayurveda, and women’s retreats. The Valley holds a monthly Sunday Open Day on the second Sunday of the month at noon. The program includes a kirtan, a spiritual Q&A, and a delicious vegetarian/vegan feast. Afterward, our guests get to meet our cows.
