Accomodations
Sri Govinda Mela is free and open to all, and everyone in attendance will be offered full prasadam three times a day.
Lodging
We are offering a limited number of rooms, prepared camping arrangements, and open space to pitch tents or park recreational vehicles at the Ashram. Our facilities are rustic but we hope to make everyone feel at home.
Contribution
So that we can provide prasadam to everyone in attendance and host guests at the Ashram nicely, we are suggesting a donation of $100 per person (or $25 per day) and $200 per family for everyone who would like to say at the Ashram during Sri Govinda Mela. Exceptions are available upon request, and no one will be turned away for lack of funds.
For those who would like stay at the Ashram during Sri Govinda Mela, we ask that everyone register in advance so that we can serve you best.
A deposit of $20 is requested to reserve a space to stay at the time of registration to confirm participation, and this will be credited to the full donation collected upon arrival at the retreat.
