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.

Poor service
Haribol, sorry I didnt have a good time this time around.
1. I asked for water to my room as the filter tap broke, I rang 4x times finally got hold of someone and they said nobody was available.
2. I re rang the next day and spoke with someone and they informed me that they would get housekeeping up to give me a new water filter, nobody attended
3. The only thing I could think of doing was putting a note under the door of reception and then someone did attend. It certainly wasnt pleasant
4. I was informed when I arrived that there was NO wifii in the cabins, I think this should go onto your website as I had important work to do however couldnt.
5. I drove down the road to cabin 1, then realised I couldnt turn around, so I ended up trying to back out, but couldnt, I jack knifed my car trying to get back up the hill, I ended up with massive scrapes from the rocks on the side.
Over all not a pleasant time for me Read More

Day Pass
The day pass offers exceptional value. We stayed at the campground next door and walked in very early on a Friday morning. The air was fresh and the energy very calming. Reception was still closed so we walked up to the temple. After listening to the chanting and prayers, we had breakfast. The food was delicious and wholesome. We were welcomed by everyone and people were very friendly.
After breakfast, we walked around the grounds and then went to a workshop. The landscape is beautiful and it was a pleasure to be there.
Lunch was served in a different kitchen area and the food was once again delicious and wholesome. I have decided to book in for the weekend cooking course soon.
We did a Zenthai, shiatsu massage workshop in the afternoon which was very enjoyable also. We learnt so much during our say here. We were unable to stay for the yoga so will make sure we do that next time. I look forward to returning to the Krishna village.
Thank you for having us. Read More
