Profil účastníka

Our ISKCON-Hare Krishna community follows a lacto-vegetarian/vegan diet and an alcohol and intoxicants-free healthy lifestyle. We wish to request our volunteers to kindly follow this etiquette during their stay in our community. An interest in organic gardening, vegetarian cooking, cow-care and community care would be important, as well as open-mindedness to the ancient Vedic Indian tradition and the Hare Krishna movement.
