DIRECTIONS TO FESTIVAL SITE

Through Visalia, CA from Los Angeles, San Francisco, or Southern California

  1. Use Googlemaps.com for directions from LAX or SFO to Prince Mart (service station, petro pumps) turn off at "33423 Sierra Drive, Lemon Cove, CA 93244-1701".
  2. At this point click the add destination button to add a 3rd destination of final address: 51869 Eshom Valley Drive, Badger, CA 93603.

Note in steps 1 and 2 above, if you just add final destination without Prince Mart address, you will be taken on a wild goose chase. We cannot vouch for other maps services such as Yahoo, MapQuest, etc or GPS live instructions. The above route is the straightest but still has a fair amount of curves.

A summary of the above instructions: from Hwy 99 at Visalia exit, Take Hwy 198 EAST through Lemon Cove. Just after passing through Lemon Cove, turn left immediately past the Prince Mart Gas Station/store (on left) onto Hwy 216. Approximately a half mile up, cross the Kaweah river bridge and take an immediate right onto Dry Creek Drive. Drive for approx. 16 miles, then you will reach a fork, bear to the right onto Stagecoach Road. Continue on 2 miles and then turn left onto Eshom Valley Drive to 51869 Eshom Valley Drive, about 6/10 of a mile down from Stagecoach Road on the right hand side of the road. Please watch for signs to help you enter the Festival Site. The Festival site is at Srila Gurudev’s New Braj Center.

Driving time is approximately four hours (260 miles) from LA airport and about five hours (320 miles) from the San Francisco airport.

Through Fresno, CA from San Francisco Bay Area or Northern California

The above set of directions through Visalia, CA is the straightest way. If you are coming from the north and don't mind a few more curves, you can go through Fresno, CA and save mileage, petro, and time.

  1. Use Googlemaps.com for directions from SFO, Bay Area, or Northern California address including Fresno Airport (FAT) to final destination: 51869 Eshom Valley Drive, Badger, CA 93603.
  2. Once on Hogback Rd. or Eshom Valley Drive, ignore the "Turn to Stay on" instructions as they are just curves in the road. You might want to still make note of the mileage.

We cannot guarantee other map services or GPS instructions.

Govardhana Puja Festival

Each year Srila Gurudeva personally oversees the worship of Sri Govardhana Hill. This year the Annakuta Maha Mahotsava Sri Giriraj Govardhana Festival will take place on Sunday June 13th, 2010This ecstatic festival is held in the same way as the Annakuta Maha Mohatsava Festival during Braja Mandala Parikrama. Last Festival over 900 preparations were offered to Girira Govardhana and this year there is enthusiasm to make 1000 different preparations!

The festival kitchens will be dedicated to cooking for the 500+ devotees and guests that will be attending and cannot spare any ingredients.

All devotees and guests are requested to please bring their own ingredients for preparing their offerings for Govardhana. Some ideas of things to bring are dried fruits, nuts, candy, ready-made pie crusts, coconut, condensed milk, sugar, flour, and spices. Cake, muffin, and cookie mixes are also great. Perishable ingredients such as milk, butter, fresh fruits and vegetables can be purchased at the Badger Store (five minutes from festival site) or in Woodlake, Exeter, Three Rivers and Visalia (35 to 55 minute drive). It is wonderful for everyone to participate in this Annakuta Mahotsava and as always there are cooking facilities available in devotee’s homes. Those without transportation can give a list of ingredients to the local devotees who will go to Visalia on Friday morning, but space is limited. Planning in advance what you would like to offer to Govardhana and bringing some things with you will save yourself and the organizers time, and help the festival run smoothly. Some ingredients will be available on Saturday at a table set up by the book booth and registration area.

Sponsor a Feast Preparation

Any devotees who would like to sponsor a preparation for the Annakuta feast please contact Nilacala didi.

The average cost per preparation is $150 - $200. You may sponsor one of the regular preps such as halava, puris, or sweetrice, etc., or speak to Nilacala didi about a special request.

NEW BRAJA MANDALA &

ROSE TEMPLE FESTIVAL

This year we will be having our Glorious New Braja Mandal Festival with our Beloved Srila Gurudeva from June 9-15. There will also be a 1 day program for the public at the Rose Temple on June 19th. So there will be many devotees coming through Los Angeles and the Rose Temple home of Sri Sri Radha Govinda Mahaprabhu. In order to serve all of the devotees in the best manner possible we are sending you the following information about staying in Los Angeles near or at the Rose Temple.

ARRIVING: The LAX airport is 8 miles from the temple. If you wish to be picked up then please give us a one to two week advance notice of your flight information with arrival time by email. We will be glad to pick you up. The fee for a one way pick up at the airport will cost $15.00. For a round trip it is $25.00. Pickup from the bus station is the same.

STAYING AT TEMPLE: There is a men’s and women’s ashram at the temple. However there is limited space in those ashrams. When they are full then we will allow devotees to stay in the temple room and the downstairs. In order to accommodate all of the devotees we have not rented out the Main Hall upstairs which is our main source of income. Also the Temple cannot afford to feed everyone. So anyone who stays in the temple MUST donate $15.00 per day plus service, which will include 2 meals one at 10AM and one at 4PM. Those who live outside the Temple will pay $5.00 per meal. There will be no trades of service for accommodations and/or Prasad. Everyone is expected to pay and do service. We have no bedding, towels, or toiletries, in the temple for guests. Please see that you bring the appropriate paraphernalia for your personal needs. There is a CVS and 99 cent store within walking distance.

OUTSIDE ACCOMMODATIONS: The following is a list of hotels and hostels in and around the temple within walking distance. Please make your booking directly with the individual hotel. For any of the major chains, Holiday Inn, Super 8 etc which are at driving distance please look them up in the internet and make your booking directly with them. Please do not ask the temple to book you a hotel room.

BUS RIDES TO & FROM BADGER: I have received a lot of requests for rides to Badger and Back. So I did some research and I have found a Charter bus company that will give us a 47 seat bus with room for luggage and a toilet at an excellent rate. Each individual who wants to obtain a seat on the bus, no matter what age, position, (this includes Sannaysis and so called poor brahmacharies) or condition, must pay $50.00 round trip. There will be no one way tickets. The Temple cannot cover the cost of the bus or even a tiny part thereof. This amount covers the cost of the bus with a small tip for each driver there and back.

The Bus will leave LA for Badger on June 8th at around noon and it will leave Badger to return to LA on June 16th at around noon. I can make the return trip earlier in the day if necessary. If you want to take this round trip bus service I need to have your reservation and $50.00 in hand within the next week. Please send your Check or Money order made out to IGVS at the following address: 305 Rose Avenue - Venice CA 90291. Credit cards are accepted over the phone. Pay Pal info is below. There will be absolutely no one who will get a seat on the bus without payment of $50.00 in advance. If we do not have 47 seats filled in the next week we will not be able to do this.

FYI: A round trip from LA to Visalia on Greyhound Bus is $44.00 in advance and $51.00 at the station on the day. You still have to get to the station from the temple and to Badger from Visalia. This bus goes from the Temple door to Badger directly and back. There will be No Standing Allowed on the bus. I have done this as a service for all the devotees who cannot afford to rent cars. So please respect the service and contribute your $50.00 fee.

PAYING FEES BY PAY PAL & CREDIT/DEBIT CARD: To email money to pay pal go the www.paypal.com. Place the cursor over the words “send money” in the drop down box you will see the words “send money online” click on that. Then put bdasa1@gmail.com in the box that says to and put your email address in the box that says from. Then put in the amount $50.00. Then click on the word personal in the box below and click on gift. It will then ask you to login if you are a member of pay pal and ask for your password. Or it will ask you to sign up and become a member which is free. If you are a member you send $50.00 from your account. If you are not a member when you become one you link your pay pal account to your bank account and then put the money in your pay pal account and send it. No credit/debit card required. To pay by credit card call Narasimha or Bhagavat Maharaj, the numbers are below. You can also pay for airport pick up, Temple stay, or Prasadam via credit/debit card or pay pal.

CONTACT INFO: If you are looking to coordinate staying within the temple facility please contact Bhagavat Maharaj @ 323-379-6398 or bvbhagavat@gmail.com and Arjuna @ 313-645-1919 or oneal.108@gmail.com. If you are looking to coordinate airport pickups please contact Narasimha Prabhu @ 352-316-3702 or narasimhadas108@gmail.com and Arjuna @ 313-645-1919 or oneal.108@gmail.com. Any questions beyond those can be addressed to either Narasimha Prabhu, Arj una Prabhu or Bhagavat Maharaj. Please keep in mind that we are very busy and it may take us a day or two to respond to emails or phone calls.

Yours In the Service of Sri Hari, Guru, and Vaishnavas,

B.V. Bhagavat Maharaja
