Ribbon thumbnailHis Holiness Indradyumna Swami Maharaja and Le Carnaval Spirituel are coming to Melbourne on another exciting tour and we can't wait! Many of you have been asking questions about this visit.

Here's a brief Q&A:
  • When does the troupe arrive and leave?
    They are arriving on January 12 and leaving on January 29.

  • How many devotees are coming?
    Around 25 including Maharaja, although there may be more visitors from interstate.

  • When and where are the Le Carnaval Spirituel events happening?
    Friday, January 16 & Saturday, January 17 at the Fitzroy Town Hall and Thursday, January 22 and Friday, January 23 at the St Kilda Town Hall (just before the Australia Day long weekend). For complete information about the events please visit  the new Le Carnaval Spirituel website.

  • How much will the events cost to attend?
    Nothing. That's right, you've read it. We decided to make the events available to the public of Melbourne for free in order to make them accessible to all your family and friends whom you have been wishing to introduce to the Vedic culture and philosophy. Obviously, the temple is spending quite a bit of money on these events. Therefore any contributions towards the cost will be much appreciated. To make a safe and secure online contribution over PayPal please go to the Contacts page of the Le Carnaval website.

  • Do you need volunteers to help with the events?
    Yes, any help will be much appreciated. Our main focus today is the promotion. We have about 500-700 seats to fill on each night, which is over 2000 seats in total.

    Right now we need volunteers to do letter box drop of the Carnaval leaflets in the areas of Fitzroy, St Kilda, and the surrounding suburbs. We also need people to put up posters in those locations and young, energetic people for handing out leaflets. To volunteer, please phone Sri Krsna Candra das on 0411 466 882 or Stoka Krishna das on 0411 550 429 or go to the Contacts page on the website and email us from there.

    It would also help us a lot if you could invite all your families, friends, work colleagues, neighbours, school contacts, especially people not familiar with the Indian and Vedic culture and Krishna consciousness to these events. These events are designed as a very gentle, non-intrusive and attractive introduction to what we are all about, so boldly invite them all, including your non-religious Aussie friends and acquaintances. The worst thing that can happen is that they say no, but if they go, they will understand you better and gain more respect for the path that you are following. You can download the text of the email invitation and download PDF files of the posters and leaflets here.

    If you are on Facebook, please register for this event and invite all of your contacts by clicking on the Invite people link underneath the image on the event page (it will appear there once you confirm your attendance yourself). If you're not on Facebook, please ask your kids to do it and invite their friends. They ARE on Facebook.
Please stay tuned for more updates...

Le Carnaval Spirituel & HH Indradyumna Swami's visit update



When I put on the hat sent by you on my head, everyone says that it is brilliant, and because one has to dress according to the taste of friends this hat has become an important factor of my dressing.
