A Spiritual Oasis: Exploring New Gokula in Australia
A
Spiritual Oasis: Exploring New Gokula in Australia
This excerpt details a visit to New
Gokula, a Hare Krishna community farm situated near Hunter vally New Castle
Australia. Authored by Ashok Karan, the passage offers a glimpse into this
tranquil sanctuary.
An Unforeseen Discovery:
Intending a short day trip, I
embarked on a journey with an open mind. Australia's natural beauty, as
described, includes rolling hills, verdant landscapes, and serene lakes.
However, the destination turned out to be a serene single-story building amidst
sprawling greenery, a stark contrast to the initial expectation of a temple.
A Welcoming Sanctuary:
Despite the initial surprise, the
welcoming atmosphere prevailed. Bhajan recitals filled a designated hall, and
devotees readily included me in their religious proceedings. The vast
surrounding area, encompassing over 500 acres, provided ample opportunity for
exploration and photography.
Harmony with Nature and Faith:
New Gokula serves as a haven for
relaxation and spiritual rejuvenation. The resident cows, lovingly referred to
as Krishna cows, graze freely within the ranch area. Devotees manage the farm
and care for the animals, fostering a beautiful connection between humans and
nature. This dedication extends to raising awareness about the significance of
cows and bulls within society. #vegetarian #sustainable living #animal care.
A Community Flourishes:
A dedicated team of devotees manages
the expansive farm and animal care. Accommodation is available for visitors
seeking a spiritual retreat, with a guest house welcoming those who travel from
afar. Donations are gratefully accepted to support the community's endeavors.
#spiritual retreat #community living.
Beyond New Gokula:
The write-up also mentions a
separate Hindu temple situated in North Sydney, providing an additional option
for those seeking cultural immersion. #Hindu temple #Australia
Conclusion:
My experience at New Gokula
highlights the community's focus on peace, spiritual growth, and connection
with nature. Whether seeking a vegetarian meal, religious discourse, or simply
a serene escape, New Gokula offers a unique and enriching experience for
visitors. #New Gokula #Australia #Peace #Nature.
