Govardhan Ecovillage (GEV, for short) is a project and growing eco system situated in the beautiful mountain ranges of Sahyadri, near Mumbai, India. The eco-village is a testament to the powers of Ayurveda, Yoga and Meditation to bring about transformative change. Led by the principles of humility and sustainability GEV’s mission is to serve and propagate the benefits of India’s age old traditions to the whole world.
It is the result of an ardent desire of Radhanatha Swami to fulfill the dream of his beloved guru, His Divine Grace A. C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada – “To erect for the members and society at large, a holy place of transcendental pastimes, dedicated to the personality of Krishna.”
“Eco-friendly,” Radhanatha Swami explains, means: Living in harmony with nature and according to the way Krishna wants us to live on a material level and spiritual level.
Govardhan Ecovillage is not an overnight establishment, but shape formed over a century of toil, hardship and the constant passion of many. Govardhan Ecovillage is a place that houses several eco-friendly initiatives.
Yoga programs – Govardhan school of yoga is a space dedicated to disseminating and sharing the wisdom of Yoga. Through their Yoga journeys, students discover their own unique strengths, resolve their inner conflicts and discover deeper well-being that goes well beyond the physical.
