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.

Perfect for 'me' time
I set out to have time to myself. To reflect inwardly and to enjoy the surroundings and lots of yoga! I got exactly what I needed. The energy of this beautiful land felt sacred and so loved, which supported my need to support and love myself. I had much-needed time in nature and enjoyed all the varying yoga classes on offer. Being a weekend, there were less classes on Saturday and Sunday morning than I would have liked, but I went about doing my own thing instead. The cow feeding also did not take place as the guide was MIA!!! Otherwise, fabulous food, beautiful surrounds, soul-centred people around me. A perfect sanctuary.

Heartfelt Community and Sacred Atmosphere — Truly Special Place
I recently spent a weekend at Krishna Village, and it truly felt like a slice of heaven — the energy of the place, the people, the sense of community, and the natural beauty are all so uplifting. The farm has been there since the 1970s, and it carries a very warm, spiritual atmosphere. The food is nourishing and delicious — vegetarian meals are lovingly prepared, with beautiful mantra singing before served.

I stayed in the Lotus Pod accommodation, which was clean, cozy, and conveniently close to the yoga and meditation spaces. However, there’s no soundproofing at all, so you can clearly hear everything from the rooms next door and even from the yoga hall above. Also, the toilet and shower rooms are locked with coded locks, and the numbers are quite small — I literally had to use a magnifier to read them! In some cases, quick access could be important, so perhaps simple magnetic swipe cards (like in hotels) would be a better solution.

Despite these small inconveniences, my overall experience was wonderful — the community is so kind and welcoming, and there’s a truly spiritual vibration in everything they do. Next time, though, I’ll definitely choose a different accommodation option for a bit more quiet and comfort.
