A CASTLE & TEMPLE
The Château d’Oublaise, now known as New Mayapur, is situated in the serene countryside of Centre-Val de Loire, France. It was established as a Hare Krishna temple community in 1975 by the followers of His Divine Grace A. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada, founder of the International Society for Krishna Consciousness. The temple shrine is home to Their Lordships Sri Sri Gaura-Nitai, Sri Sri Krishna-Balaram, Sri Sri Radha-Govinda-Madhava. A SPIRITUAL VILLAGE
New Mayapur, beyond being a temple, is a village comprising people from all walks of life. Our domain is a large property that accommodates bhakti-yoga practitioners, volunteers and visitors alike. Our goal is to provide everyone with the means to live a fulfilling life, through access to material as well as spiritual education, along with practical application of a natural, holistic lifestyle
AN ECOLOGICAL FARM
New Mayapur runs an ecological, non-violent farm on its domain. Its goal is to provide viable solutions for tomorrow’s challenges, by empowering individuals with theoretical and practical knowledge pertaining to agriculture and animal husbandry, and by showing a living exemple of what self-sufficiency could be, per Srila Prabhupada's desire.
