Many local seniors come to the famous Bhaktivedanta Manor to take time to enjoy the building and estate, learn about the ‘Hare Krishna philosophy’ and even bond with one another.
Most recently, for example, Mahimarnava das and Bhavani hosted no less than 21 retired businessmen from members of the local Probus Club.
Probus Clubs are for retired or semi-retired people from all walks of life and includes business or professional people, which operates worldwide.
“They were amazed at how welcoming and non-sectarian the community was,” explained their devotee hosts. “They had plenty of questions about Srila Prabhupada as they themselves are at that age of questioning the purpose of their lives. They were amazed by Srila Prabhupada’s accomplishment of opening temples and writing books, and they took inspiration from the kirtan. Some expressed their enthusiasm to return. They all had a great experience!”
