Little India Day
We organized "Little India Day," an event aimed at sharing traditional Indian culture and exploring how Indians are living in Hong Kong. During the tour, we visited Indian grocery shops, a Hindu temple, and an Indian vegetarian restaurant.
We had a wonderful time with our guests came from different countries, including India, Japan, Hong Kong, and the Philippines. (that was a a group of 16 people!) We had shared many stories and rituals about Hindu temples and gods, and also introduced Ayurvedic herbs for wellbeings.
It was heartwarming to see people hearing about God's name and they enjoy singing Bhajan and chanting for the first time in the temple.
The event was a great success. Jai Sri Ram!

Little India Day with students
Once again, we are honored to be invited by the IKKC International Culture Club of Shun Tak Fraternal Association Leung Kau Kui College, a secondary school, as special guests to introduce Indian culture to teachers and students. (We ended up with a group of 12!)
This is the first time that students have had an opportunity to learn outside the classroom and hear stories about Hindu culture, traditions, and the names of Gods. During our visit to an Indian puja store, they also had the chance to explore different deities on display and learn about how do we worship with puja items.
The most inspiring part of the tour was visiting Krishna temple at ISKCON HONG KONG. It was the very first time for them to visit a temple and see the main deity. They learned about the lilas (divine pastimes) of Krishna in Vrindavan and had the opportunity to take darshan (receive blessings) from Krishna during the noon puja section at the temple. We also shared information about the Hari Bhakta Global Community project with the group and emphasize the importance of devotion.
It was a truly blessed and joyful event! Jai, Haribol!

Practical Ayurveda Retreat
We shared how to live in harmony through the practices of Yoga, Ayurveda, and a Vegetarian Diet. Additionally, it aims to help individuals understand the use of detox tools and Ayurvedic herbs.
Through workshops and sharing, students can learn about yoga, meditation, mantra chanting, the use of Ayurvedic tools, and herb healing. These practices aim to balance the doshas (energy) in our bodies and restore peace and harmony.
Some of the programs we did customized to suit the needs of individuals and that is available for half-day or one-day retreat. It usually takes place in nature and sea-side, allowing for a connection to the healing power of trees and the sea.

Inner Peace Retreat
We emphasize the importance of mantra, chanting, and meditation in helping individuals discover inner peace. Our program teaches participants how to chant mantras, specifically peaceful mantras like Shiva mantra, Lakshmi mantra or Gayatri mantra, and OM, with teaching meditation techniques for practising.
Hong Kong is a dynamic city, but many people there suffer from stress, depression, city life in a lack of inner peace and joy. A significant number of individuals suffer from mental health issues such as anxiety and depression. Providing a peace retreat in Hong Kong countryside can help them release stress and find tranquility to practice and bring peace to their lives.
