A very special experience ♥️ Everyone is super generous, the food is amazing and traditional, rooms are comfortable, and work hours are respected. There is beautiful nature, and its a truly special opportunity for personal growth. I also had the opportunity to see a beautiful wedding 🫶 The organization could improve regarding pickups and drop-offs at the station, scheduling work and days off and providing a way to reach the nearby town—like bicycles—would make the experience much better. Im very grateful for my experience ♥️ Thank you Harini, Vishnu, Nico, Lucas, Yulyanna and everyone 🫶

My time at the the eco village village was really gorgeous, there was a big week long festival during my stay and there was so much going on, so many people and an amazing energy everywhere. It's quite remote so it's a good place to go to reconnect with yourself and your practice.

My experience was enriching; it helped me connect with my inner self by immersing myself in the community's philosophy of life, the surrounding nature, and the kind and positive people who live there. They offer many extracurricular activities such as yoga, meditation, and group singing. The vegetarian food is plentiful and incredibly delicious.

New Mayapour is a beautiful place where you'll meet wonderful people who create a community. It's definitely a place for those who want to meet new people, take a break, and aren't afraid of hard work. This volunteering experience was a great opportunity for me to experience something new and take care of my basic needs. I'll remember the delicious food I received here for a long time. I highly recommend it.

The experience was great, and definitely would come back. The entire period out there has been so meaningful and fortunate that nothing really lacked. Though, it can be a culture shock experience if you're not expecting to have a vegan diet, and chanting for Krishna most of the times during the day. I particularly would like to thank Harini for having accepted me, because it was my very first volunteering opportunity in the WP, so, I'm very grateful for her about that . To summarize, You'll get to know really humble, and heartful people in this shelter, so go for it!

It was a fascinating experience. I'm taking away a better understanding of Krishna and the community's practices, along with a more mixed impression of the movement itself. Some aspects were inspiring, while others felt unfamiliar and harder to relate to. I also realized how much more authentic indian food can be when it's truly prepared by indians. What stood out most, though, was how kind and welcoming everyone was when met with the same openness. Thank you for this experience-it was both enriching and slightly unsettling in a memorable way.

I had a wonderful time in New Mayapour. It is a beautiful community and a great place to slow down and reconnect with your true self through the practice of Krishna consciousness.
The venue is incredible, the tasks are well defined, and the working hours are respected.
I truly enjoyed my time there — the activities, the atmosphere, and especially meeting so many kind people.
I left with a full heart and beautiful memories.

Many worldpackers have been applying to this position recently. The host will probably not be able to respond to all of the applications, so we recommend that you also apply to other hosts in our community and not just this one :)
