SUMMARY:Festival of the Cows
DESCRIPTION:  \nThis special family-friendly event will be held on the grounds of Hare Krishna Valley in Bambra\, (half an hour from Geelong) the rural retreat of the Hare Krishna movement in Victoria; and all are welcome to come along and participate in the fun! \nGrab your tickets on the link below: \nhttps://www.eventbrite.com.au/e/festival-of-the-cows-tickets-710806079117?aff=oddtdtcreator \nOur motto at Hare Krishna Valley is “natural living\, high thinking”. Natural living means the residents live a comfortable\, uncomplicated life in harmony with nature. By reducing our “wants” to “needs”\, we manage to live in a peaceful state of mind. We believe peace of mind is a prerequisite for true happiness. \nThe open day will be held on Sunday December 5th\, beginning at 12 noon. The day will revolve around the Festival of the Cows\, which was inaugurated by Krishna\, the God of play\, 5\,000 years ago in Vrindavan\, India. \nThe festival signifies the importance of the cow and bull in traditional and modern day culture. This festival is an opportunity to engage in blissful exchanges between animals and human beings while promoting peace for all those who participate. In recent years\, the Festival of the Cows has gained international popularity\, and is now celebrated on every continent. \nThe day begins with an auspicious blessing ceremony held in the Temple. Everyone then walks to the cows accompanied by singing with musical instruments. The cows are then honoured with garlands and an offering of special sweets. Everyone then gathers at one of the scenic locations on our 200 acre property to enjoy an explanation of the festival by one of the senior Hare Krishna monks. \nThe day culminates in a sumptuous vegan/vegetarian feast as everyone enjoys socializing on the lawn with family and friends. \nThere are limited places available due to current restrictions\, with only 550 tickets available. \nChildren under 5 can attend for free. There is ample parking on site\, and disability parking is also provided. Please note that this is a family friendly event and no alcohol\, drugs\, meat\, smoking or anger is allowed on the property. Please check our Facebook page for updates. \nHare Krishna Valley is an organic farm and retreat centre based on the principles of eastern spirituality and is dedicated to demonstrating an example of eco living and the practice of bhakti-yoga. The farm has established a humanitarian dairy as part of their Care for Cows program. \nOn the second Sunday of each month\, the Valley hosts a Feastival which includes mantra meditation\, an enlightening discourse and a sumptuous vegan/vegetarian feast. Regular retreats are scheduled throughout the year\, with topics including yoga\, vegan/vegetarian cooking\, ayurveda and vedic astrology.
