WHAT TO EXPECT 🙌

So perhaps you’ve been to a Friday Night Kirtan? Maybe attended a KCSOC seminar or two? Volunteered for the cows with Bhakti Community? Or maybe you really just vibe with the Living Name Sanga studying Srila Prabhupada’s books? No matter where we are in our journey, we want to know what’s next! How do we level-up?

So how do we deepen this connection with Krsna? We return to the place where Krishna’s footprints still reside! Sri Vrindavan Dham! Imagine electrifying kirtans under the very same night sky that Krishna danced under! Picture chanting in the very same spots that the Goswamis traversed! Envision walking the paths that Krishna and Balarama herded their cows on! Get ready for exhilarating experiences, with a bonus of seeing the Dham from the eyes of our distinguished mentors that impart Vrindavan to us. This is what it’s all been about! Come along as we frolic in the playground of God!

THE LOCATION 📍

Vrindavan, India

“Though Vrindavana is undoubtedly a transcendent abode and earthly pilgrimage site, it’s ultimately a mysterious space of consciousness. This magical space is actually the simplest and most accessible of all experiences.

To access it, the aspirant must uncover their innermost authentic spiritual persona, craft a life in which everything connects to it, and then fully embrace the opportunity to live it out. At that time, we “drop time” and effortlessly rest in the eternal present. Life’s roles and responsibilities go on, but our consciousness rests in another dimension.”

~ H.H. S.B. Keshava Swami
