Beschreibung
Our project is a Vedic (Hare Krishna) temple and community which bases its life on thousands years old scriptures from ancient India. Meditation, yoga and spirituality play an important role in our community. Apart from fully functioning Vedic temple with
its traditional rituals and rites, we also have cow protection project, as well as gardens and fields, where we always need a lot of help (especially in the summer time). We also have various art projects going on throughout the year. We always try to engage volunteers according to their skills and talents.
We are an Ashram and Farm community in the beautiful "Bavarian Forest Nature Park" in the heart of Europe. Our project was established in 1979.
We offer an opportunity to spend quality time together in a spiritual atmosphere and with great vegetarian cooking. We dance, chant and eat together!
We have a unique Temple, which became a place of pilgrimage for the visitors from all around the world. We also have a guest house and 17 hectar of land and seven cows so far (some rescued).
Here you can spend your time in an eco-friendly farm with a cow protection project and a community of some 30 members (+ volunteers) practicing an ancient bhakti yoga system and living a simple life in harmony with nature and divine principles.
We organize numerous spiritual festivals throughout the year and teach spirituality to interested people.
ALL YEAR profile needed:
- GARDENING / FARMING - we are also looking for someone on long term basis
- HOUSEHOLD/TEMPLE BUILDING HELP - general chores and friendliness required!
- DIY/BUILDER - We need someone to help around the farm for daily maintenance. If you are that way orientated, this project is a dream of reparation!
- We are always looking for good web designers for WP and for graphic designers.
- Electrician. Renovator
To keep the atmosphere sacred and conducive to spiritual growth we restrain from following:
- eating non-vegetarian food (meat, fish or eggs)
- taking intoxication such as tobacco, alcohol or drugs
- random / illicit sex
From our volunteers it is expected to take daily one temple program around 1 hour as a part of community, be it lecture, individual meditation, group music meditation, or any other ceremony, as part of their integration to the community and deeper understanding of the philosophy and lifestyle. Our volunteers are happy to have a chance to get to know better this tradition, and we are always open to guide them and answer any questions they have.
Special request on Dress Code:
Because of monks (celibate men and women) living on the property, in order to respect their vows of celibacy, ladies and men are requested to dress in certain attire
IMPORTANT Notice:
Because of many volunteers on our project from other organizations and our own volunteers we are offering the same deal as we have had for years in our community with a working time and free days - maximum 5 days work in a week and average 4 hours a day. Volunteers can initially two weeks and longer arrangements need to be discussed later on.
Our long term vision is to establish self-sufficient project that will also be an important place of pilgrimage in Europe and a tourist attraction in the Bavarian forest for the spiritually minded people.Arten von Hilfe und Lernmöglichkeiten

We are 40km from the Bavarian town of Passau. The best way to reach us is by train or bus to Passau and then by bus to Waldkirchen or Jandelsbrunn Post bus stop. Please try to arrive during daytime as after 6.30 PM there are almost no connections to Jandelsbrunn / Waldkirchen and you will have to stay overnight in Passau. From Jandelsbrunn / Waldkirchen we can pick you up by car at the Jandelsbrunn Post bus hut (first stop in Jandelsbrunn) or Waldkirchen Busbahnhof. Please drop us your mobile number and arrange your pick up in advance. Or if you want to explore the area by foot (about 25 minutes walk from Jandelsbrunn), we are in a village called Zielberg.

much of the work was outside, on a large vegetable garden or making mosaics on the fountain. this was a pretty nice way to spend my days for a few weeks.

My first work away week is finished. And I would like to share it with you how I spend it.
Before my arrival I was informed that the guest house is being renovated. So I came here with my own van and a matrace. I spend a nice camping week under big trees.
I would wake up at 6.30 and run in Bavarian hills or did yoga on my own. Breakfast was… read more

The people here are very nice and loving. I felt very welcome and as a part of the group from the beginning.
The work was quite varied, and I got to be quite a lot outside doing physical work.
However, the work could have been organized a bit better. At times it… read more
I spend the most wonderful three weeks in this beautiful Hare Krishna community. I did mostly housekeeping, work outside raking the leaves, learned to do some concrete and mosaic work and helped in the kitchen. The work is six days in a week.
Everybody in the Ashrams are super friendly, and are willing to help with whatever needed. I enjoyed… read more
I spent just over 1 month living at the temple and it was an unforgettable experience! The people, the work, the food (especially the food haha!) and the energy of the place was incredible. I was welcomed immediately into their family and felt really at home with them, they really try their best to give you a good… read more
I had a great time in this community. I've stayed there for a month, mostly I was working on their website, but I did other things as well. The place is really calm and peaceful, perfect to relax and get in touch with nature. The food is really nice, it's 100% vegetarian, everyday there are something different. I'm really thankful to… read more

I stayed two weeks there and that period changed me. In fact I ate fresh vegetarian food, found the time to meditate focusing both on my body and my mind.
The thing I loved the most were the philosofical discussions during Bhakti Yoga and in general with all the devotees; it's not common to have the possibility… read more
We are grateful that you allowed me and Suganya to stay at the temple for slightly over a week. It was interesting to learn more about the ways of Hare Krishna devotees and observe the prayers and food given to people. The work was well-planned with a timetable and it wasn't difficult. We mostly did a lot of cleaning,… read more
I spent five weeks in this amazing place and I enjoyed every second! After reading the profile and all the feedbacks I thought that it must've been special but it was even better than I expected and totally different of course! I worked in the garden, cleaned guest rooms, corridors, the eating room,… read more
The first days I was fairly confused by all the new rules and habits, and I probably do not fully agree with some aspects of Krishna Consciousness either. Though I have to say I do not have enough knowledge about the whole philosophy itself, so I do not think I am in the position to judge.… read more

I spent 1 month in the ashram. I just left and I already feel a little nostalgic. It´s such a magical place to stay and learn new things, meet wonderful people, eat wonderful food (and a lot :D ), be in touch with nature, beautiful landscape, Yoga, etc. It´s definitely a place you have to know, and the people treats you so good, they… read more

The work is straight forward and quite easy. We cleaned, worked in the garden and in the kitchen. We were given tasks every morning so we weren't walking around aimlessly looking for things to do.
The meals were good. We were forever full and possibly put on a few extra kilos with the amount of food we ate… read more
