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.

Krishna Village - incredible experience
I spent 3 nights at the Krishna Village and it was the most incredible experience. After a very challenging and heart wrenching 12 months (caring for and losing my mum and putting my dad into care), the Krishna village experience helped me to heal. The food, accommodation and workshops were amazing - it was life-changing. Thank you Krishna Village staff and volunteers - you are all so inspiring.

Retreat Stay - 3 nights
I loved all of it.
The food was great, the budget single room was very comfortable.
The yoga instructors were fantastic for a novice like me.
I will come again, next time for a week.

Solo retreat to refresh and relax
I planned a short getaway by myself to rest and relax in a value for money, safe and supported environment which allowed as much or as little interaction as desired, from moment to moment.
I appreciated the meals which were tasty and more than enough for me, the interesting mix of people from all over the world, great conversations and the option to participate in yoga, meditations, discourses offered throughout each day.
The weather was a bit wet, so I didn't swim in the river, but it certainly looked clear and refreshing and there were trails to run or walk if desired.
Murwillumbah is only 13 minutes from the Village, so there was ample opportunity to pop out and stroll through the main street there, or to enjoy other parts of the region by car.
I recommend Krishna Village for anyone wanting to step outside of their day to day life for a break.

A deeply moving magical visit
Arriving at Krishna Village felt like coming home. The flowing river against the lush green beauty and misty mountains made our hearts lift.
We stayed in our campervan in a beautiful spot ..and were welcomed to the dinner table by smiling kind faces and a delicious spread of satvic vegan foods.
Hatha Yoga at sunrise by the radiant and knowledgeable Dhama set the tone for the next few days. Yoga, sound and Kirtan offerings were amazing - each teacher so compassionate and encouraging. Our visits to the sacred marble temple, the small shop and the temple restaurant were nothing short of pure blessings.
Thank you 🙏 we can’t wait to return! Hare Krishna🙏

6 day cabin retreat stay
Little garden of Eden here. A safe space where outside armour can melt away to reveal more soul. Raise your vibration and gain higher consciousness amongst peace and serenity. Where animals, humans and nature live together in harmony. Regardless of your beliefs, all are welcome. Surrounded by people with pure intentions, who just want to do good and be better. Left feeling so enriched with love. Very grateful 🙏
