Hare Krishna dear devotees and friends of Sri Sri Radha Madhana Mohan.

A new year has begun, and we welcome 2025 with great inspiration and gratitude. In the past years, Goloka Dhama has been a place of vibrant bhakti, marked by inspiring festivals such as Janmāṣṭamī and Sanga Mela, as well as our daily evening kirtans. Together we have shared spiritual moments that have strengthened and enriched us.

This year, too, many new opportunities await us to deepen our path in Krishna consciousness. Every day is a chance to make progress through sadhana, sankirtan and sharing in loving community.

We are pleased to not only wish you a happy new year, but also to share some exciting news with you. There are numerous new events and opportunities planned for this year to help you immerse yourself even more fully in spiritual practice and to implement the wisdom of the bhakti path in your own life.

Starting in January, we will be launching our new seminar series: ‘12 Teachers in 12 Months’. Every month, an inspiring teacher will shed light on a central topic of spiritual life. The seminars have a holistic, altruistic approach and are open to everyone – experienced practitioners, new devotees, and interested guests. The topics range from yoga and healthy vegetarian/vegan nutrition to how to integrate Krishna consciousness into our daily lives.

In addition to the “12 Teachers in 12 Months” series, we are excited to announce many more enriching events:

• Open House Day – May 1, 2025: A day of meeting and getting to know each other and open doors at Goloka Dhama. Come by to learn more about our spiritual practice and experience the community.
  
  
• Bhakti Festival – End of June 2025: during this weekend we will sing, dance and dive deeply into the practice of devotion together. The Bhakti Festival will be a celebration of joy, love and kirtan.
  
  
• Summer – Two-week Bhakta course: we invite you to take part in our on-site Bhakta course. This course is a wonderful opportunity to take your practice and devotion to a deeper level and to make new spiritually inspired friendships with other course participants.
  
  
• Kirtan Course – September 2025: the Kirtan course allows you to experience the healing power of singing together and to learn the art of Kirtan (singing, playing the karatals and harmonium, and playing the mrdanga) yourself or to deepen existing skills. The transformative power of Kirtan can be revealed to you in this course.

All these events and more will take place in Goloka Dhama in 2025. We look forward to celebrating and experiencing all these events together with you. Please check our website www.goloka-dhama.de regularly for information on further events and additional information and for your booking requests.
