Help is always needed to prepare the seminar site and for construction projects
to improve the facilities on the land. Anyone who is able to come early to help
is most welcome (men and ladies).
This year, there is an informative web site with many kinds of useful information
about Shri Krishna Puja 2001. Please access this website to make arrangements
to do with arrival and transportation. The address is http://www.theworldsavior.org/krishna

Adults - $250
Students - $150
Children 6 - 18 - $125

Accommodations:
The hangar will accommodate some yogis. Large tents will also be provided for
men and ladies. Yogis are encouraged to rent cars and bring tents. The land
is in a remote farming area, about a 15-minute drive to any store, town or hotel.
Information about car rentals and directions from all points to the land can
be found on the web site.
The refreshing men's and ladies ponds are ready to welcome you, complete with
soothing mud packs to cool you down. There is a lovely courtyard with a café
waiting to receive you, and paths to ensure that in any weather you will be
able to find your way. This year, we have prepared showers with running water.
It is Shri Mataji's Desire that as many yogis as possible sleep on the land.
However, there is a list of hotels in the area on the web site for elderly yogis,
yogis with health problems, and yogis with extremely young infants. There are
a very limited number of hotel rooms in the area this time of year.
Please bring sleeping bags, and enough clothes for the entire stay, as there
may not be sufficient water to do hand-washing on the land. Mothers with very
young children should bring enough food for the stay as there are no shops within
walking distance of the land. A mini-store will be set up with necessities and
mothers will be able to store milk in refrigerators in the kitchen area.
Transportation:
