Based on the request of many devotees, in July of 2010, Bhaktivedanta College will offer a summer camp for young devotees aged 14 to 21. Experienced guides will help the youth become accustomed to life in the spiritual community of Radhadesh and teach them music, art, spiritual aspects of life, and lots of recreational activities.
There will be plenty of cultural exchanges and lots of learning of new skills. Most camps offer fun, friendship, and memories, but what makes the Radhadesh Summer Camp unique is our commitment to offer children a pure devotional atmosphere, filled with opportunities to perform devotional activities. Participants will explore many aspects of spiritual life and learn how to integrate these into everyday life.
The camp is both a wonderful way to spend a holiday and an exciting opportunity to broaden skills, add experience to one's life, and develop friendships with peers from around the world. Participants will visit nearby cities in Europe with fellow campers and discover the wonders of nature in the Belgian Ardennes. Campers will return home spiritually enlivened and refreshed.
The Radhadesh Summer Camp offers young people an exceptional opportunity to make friends and a chance to grow in a favorable atmosphere of intercultural exchanges and devotional activities under the guidance of experienced teachers. Our Offer We will organize various activities such as:
- Music and arts: Singing, mridanga, harmonium, karatalas, drama, dance, painting.
- Study: Basic Vaishnava philosophy and morality from scriptures such as Mahabharata, Ramayana, and Srila Prabhupada-lilamrita.
- Vaishnava
cultural events: Observing festivals, participating in Padayatra, going
on Rathayatra in Amsterdam, offering puja, and attending dynamic
spiritual temple programs.
- Learning new skills: Public speaking
and listening, preaching, improving English language skills (if
applicable), cooking, sewing, and gardening.
- Recreation:
Sports, campfire, cookout with Hare Krishna songs, yoga, harinama in
surrounding cities, treasure hunt, and other games.

Farm conference 27th and 28th April 2010 Prabhupadadesh
|
|
|

Dear Prabhus,
Please accept my humble obeisances. All Glories to Srila Prabhupada.
This letter is to invite you to the third annual european farm conference to
be held this year in Prabhupadash (North Italy near venice). We had planned
to host the conference at Bhaktivedanta Manor this year, however due to
exstensive renovations works that are effecting our guest facilites I
thought it better to arrange an alternative venue.
Each farm project can invite three persons to attend the conference.
The conference is open to devotees who are involved with Agriculture, Cow
Protection, Forestry, Horticulture, Using foods from the farms, wanting to
use food from the farms, leaders of farms or farm departments.
The previous two farm conferences were well attended and appreciated by all
who attended. This conference is meant to give life to the farm devotees and
to help them in their services.
Please discuss this invitation with your farm managers and let me know who
might be able to attend from your farm.
Gurucarana Prabhu has informed me that he will only charge 10euro per night
for prasadam and accommodation for each person. This is half the normal
price he normally needs for these services. Travel costs to and from the
airport will be extra and the information about that will follow in due
course.
I will send you the contact information you will need to book your
accommodation and airport/station pick up shortly.
The conference dates are the 27th and 28th of April 2010. We are very eager
that you join us and help us move the agricutural and cow protection
projects forward in Europe. I would expect that you may like to arrive on
the Monday 26th of april and they you are ready to be with us at the start
on Tuesday the 26th.
your servant
Syamasundara dasa
ISKCON European Minister for Agriculture and Cow Protection
