“We wish to acknowledge the elders past and present of the Bundjalung people, the Traditional Custodians of Country in this region, which now nurtures us, as it has them, since time immemorial.”
The Krishna Farm
Nestled in the foothills of Mount Warning, in the heart of the Northern Rivers of New South Wales, the 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.
Govindas
The Govindas Vegetarian Restaurants on the Gold Coast were established with the same spirit of service and conscious living that guides the Krishna Farm and Krishna Village. Across its three locations, Govindas offers wholesome vegetarian meals inspired by traditional bhakti yoga cooking.
Since 2009, Govindas has been serving nourishing plant-based food prepared fresh each day, with a rotating selection of hot dishes, salads, and house-made preparations. The intention behind the food is the same principle that underlies life on the farm: that meals prepared with care, gratitude and spiritual consciousness nourish body, mind and soul equally.
At its three locations in Burleigh Heads, Coolangatta and Kingscliff, Govindas provides a welcoming place for locals and visitors alike to experience the flavours and culture connected to the New Govardhana community.
