For the past 3 years the number of foreign visitors increased incredibly. Almost 70% of the festival participants are from abroad. On our stage all the talks and lectures have to be translated into English. This festival is a very good field for preaching, since participants are most likely between the age of 18-30. Unfortunately, we do not have too many devotees to go to the festival and preach to these people in their own language, not to mention that we are unable to do follow up and to keep in touch with them. It is a shame, since most of them are very open minded and receptive.

This year the festival will be hold from the 12th to the 18th of August.

What we can provide is transportation from and to the Budapest airport, accommodation and prasadam for the whole week.

What is needed is mostly enthusiasm. What you have to provide is a plane ticket and about 100 Euros for the festival ticket.

I am looking forward to hearing from you. Please let me know as soon as possible how many devotees can we expect, because the earlier we buy the ticket the cheaper it is.
