About Krishna Village

Mission & Vision

As an eco yoga community set on an organic farm, the Krishna Village endeavours to provide the blueprint of a simple, mindful, spiritually based lifestyle. By allowing our guests to share this experience, we propagate a wholesome (in Sanskrit: sattvic) and sustainable lifestyle that is good for all living beings and conducive to a joyous and loving attitude.

For the last few years we have been developing the Krishna Village from a completely volunteer based farming community to a retreat space for people focused on their personal development and spiritual growth. Staying at the Village will allow you to be immersed in a beautiful community of spiritual seekers from all over the world who are coming together with the intention of sharing their gifts and talents and supporting each others\' learning and growth. Rather than providing a scheduled retreat program, we offer a range of classes and activities from which you can pick and choose. Thus, you are able to create your own experience and adapt your activities to your individual needs.

Society at large is becoming increasingly disconnected: more and more people suffer from stress, burnout, fatigue and chronic illness. The happiness that lies in simple experiences like feeling the grass under your bare feet, digging your hands in the soil or sitting with friends around a campfire under the stars has become a distant memory. At the Krishna Village, we aim to create such a space. So take your time, breathe, reconnect to yourself and re-evaluate your life and your priorities. To support you, we invite you to experience:

The simplicity of life on an organic farm

A delicious vegetarian diet

Beautiful yoga and kirtan sessions

Personal growth through meditation and Life Coaching

A peaceful and deeply spiritual temple atmosphere

If you look at the big wisdom traditions of the world, you will notice that certain values have being cherished throughout the ages, across time and space. It is our intention to live true to them and bring them out in ourselves and others:Love: friendship, kindness, loving service and care for the Divine and all living entities: humans, animals and plants alikeWisdom: respect, curiosity and open-mindedness, spiritual practice and personal developmentBalance: sustainable living, an equilibrium between work, rest and play, giving and receivingCongruity: aiming to align body, mind and soul, honoring our individual qualities and our personal soul journeyGratitude: acknowledging the gifts we receive abundantly from the divine, mother nature and those around usSo get ready to slow down, connect to yourself and experience the sattvic way of life!

Venue & Amenities

Nestled in the foothills of Mount Warning, in the heart of the Northern Rivers of New South Wales, our Hare Krishna Farm “New Govardhana” is a beautiful 1000 acre property with orchards, organic veggie gardens, cows, horses, streams and swimming holes in abundance.

From the moment when you cross the rustic wooden bridge over the Oxley River and pass through the beckoning avenue of trees which comprises the entrance to the farm, you will notice that this Vedic Yoga Sanctuary is a special place and that your soul finds peace and a sense of coming home.

New Govardhana serves as an ashram to a community of yogis who aspire to live according to their deepest vows and commitments on their path of service, spiritual contentment and happiness (Bhakti Yoga). Their service and dedication make this location a beautiful place of growth, healing and spiritual awakening.

Apart from immersing themselves into their spiritual lives, the devotees also run a school, a cow protection program, big organic gardens and orchards, and an infinite number of yogic festivals and retreats throughout the year. In this context, the Krishna Village serves as an outreach program, inviting retreat guests, course participants and spiritual seekers from all over the world and all ages to participate in the farm\'s activities and experience a simple, happy and wholesome lifestyle.

Happy Yogi
I love this place so much. I’ve just returned from my fifth visit and am rested, nourished and content once again thanks to Krishna Village.

I’m not vegetarian or religious but I happily slip into the Krishna Village groove each time. I love that all is quiet after 8.30pm each night, the food is absolutely delicious with all sorts of variety and the surroundings are stunning - each day feels like waking up in paradise.

Previously I’ve stayed in a container room which is right near where all the action is and means shared (clean) bathrooms. Now I treat myself to a private cabin which is about a 10 minute walk from the classes but feels like absolute luxury with AC and a private bathroom.

Wherever you stay you’ll have beautiful views of the lush greenery and hot, high pressure showers. If you’re looking for a break from the rat race, a chance to reconnect with nature and to pause & recalibrate then this is the place you’re looking for.

Fabulous

6 gals spent 2 nights here and it was just so amazing. The grounds alone are so majestic and beautiful, the cow tour was so great and just the work all the people who run Krishna village do is just so nourishing.
The food was spectacular- different food for each meal and plenty of it. The generosity we felt in every way from yoga teachers to kids to gurus was beautiful.
I feel very grateful to have stayed here. And the cabins are amazing ! Read More

Need work on the food
They really need to work on the food, promoting sustainable living is one thing but serving the same sago everyday is just plain lazy and not to be advertised as meals included. For the price paid, the cabins were tad small, there were colony of ants in the toilet and we had to travel to the nearest town, Muruwillambah to grab a decent meal after 4 failed attempts. I have been to retreats before, serving simple vegetarian food is actually a great idea if cooked properly and a variety of meals are offered. We had Sago in morning, lunch and dinner. Not good. Otherwise it's a decent place to relax for a weekend getaway, reason I still gave 3 stars. Read More
