Of course you can still come for the Vyasa-puja festival if you arrange your own accommodation outside of Radhadesh. Please contact Visakha (vyasapuja@kksblog.com) and let us know that you are coming so we can organize the festival & kitchen accordingly!

Festival Fee

The festival fee is set at € 35**

* This fee can still change and depends on the amount of donations that we will receive.

** Kids from 0-8 years do not have to pay the festival fee. Kids from 8-16 years pay only 17,50

Festival Costs

A festival (actually 2 festivals with Kings day) costs a lot of money. We need to pay the guesthouse, Radhadesh kitchen, Buses, Kings day expenses and lots more. The annual budget is around 22000 Euro and we have to cover this by fundraising and charging you an accommodation and a festival fee. Here is a summary of the highest expenses:

• Prasadam* : € 7500
• Accommodation*: € 7100
• Buses: € 3700 (2 buses. 3 buses would be € 5550)
• Kingsday: € 1850
• VP Lunch: € 1300
• VG Gifts (books) : € 700
• Flowers and decorations: € 300

* Calculated for 200 persons

Our dream is to offer you a totally free festival! In 2016 you gave enough donation to cover at least the prasadam and buses so the festival fee was dropped. Maybe in 2017 we can reach our dream target?! You can help by giving donations. Click here to donate.
