Bhakti immersion retreat

From 2nd to 6th of April 2026 

Dear devotees, Hare Krishna!

We have great pleasure in inviting you to Goloka-dhama to attend the Bhakti Immersion Retreat to attend the Bhakti Immersion Retreat, with H.H. Sacinandana Swami and H.G. Hari Parshad Prabhu, from 2nd to 6th of April 2026. Your association will greatly please us and Sri Sri Radha Madana Mohan.

Reinforce your spiritual foundation with tasteful Krishna Katha and enlivening Sadhu Sanga!

This Retreat is designed to help to practise devotees to dive deep into the sweet ocean of Krishna consciousness. It will take place during the Easter Holidays and in the beautiful blossoming spring season. The Bhakti Immersion Retreat will help participants to strengthen their philosophical understanding, obtain tips and skills for their own practice of Bhakti-yoga and to become attracted to the sweetness and beauty of the Divine Couple.

H.H. Sacinandana Swami and H.G. Hari Parshad Prabhu will be our main teachers.

H.H. Sacinandana Swami is well known for his enthusiasm in sharing Srila Prabhupada´s teachings and in helping to practice devotees to reach deeper levels of Krishna consciousness. In his evening Kathas, we will engage directly in Krishna’s enchanting pastimes, we will sing, meditate, and thus dive deeply into the nectar of devotion. The Bhagavatam encourages us: "When the Lord assumes a humanlike body to show mercy to His devotees, He engages in such pastimes as will attract those who hear about them to become dedicated to Him." (Srimad-Bhagavatam, 10.33.36)

H.G. Hari Parshad Prabhu is a disciple of H.H. Radha Govinda Swami Maharaj, and joined ISKCON in 2002. He is a very learned Sanskrit scholar and gives deep lectures on Sastra, especially the writings of the Six Goswamis of Vrindavan. He has been a member of the Sastric Advisory Council since 2016. H.G. Hari Parshad Prabhu will give a seminar called: "The Crooked Pathways of Prema."

The detailed schedule of the program will be posted here in advance, shortly before the retreat.
 

ONLINE REGISTRATION IS CLOSED. Daily Visitors are welcome.

Important:
If you wish to join the retreat, we sincerely request that you register. Please note that meals will be distributed first to those who have registered online , and then to guests who arrive without registration. This helps us avoid wasting Prasadam (Vegetarian & Vegan food) and ensures that everyone who registered for the event receives a meal.

Children and Teens :
Note: Children under the age of 7 must remain under your care at all times. This typically means
you may need to miss certain parts of the event (e.g. lectures, meditations). We kindly ask all participants to support the atmosphere of silence and focus in the temple hall. For this reason, if you are with small children, you may be asked to step outside during certain sessions.

Simultaneous translation:
We will provide simultaneous translation from English to Russian during the retreat. Please remember to bring your smartphone and earphones, as the translation will be streamed via Telegram. More details and the link to join the group will be shared closer to the event. If you need German translation, please let us know by registering online: you will need to join the WA group (the link will be shared before the start of the retreat).
