Dear Devotees and Friends of Kṛṣṇa,

Last year a delegation of devotees from the Swiss yātrā experienced much transcendental happiness at the Ukraine Bhakti Saṅgam Festival with its thousands of joyful devotees and amazingly blissful kirtans.

Time flies, and planning is almost complete for the 2017 edition of this magnificent event which will take place at Resort Lotus in Koblevo near Odessa on the shores of the Black Sea.

The Ukraine Bhakti Saṅgam Festival is an annual outpouring of devotion by more than 5,000 Ukrainian devotees led by H.H. Nirañjana Swami and attended by many of ISKCON’s senior devotees, including initiating gurus, sannyāsis and Prabhupāda disciples. There is still no festival fee!

• H.H. Nirañjana Mahārāja
• H.H. Indradyumna Mahārāja

This year another delegation of devotees from Switzerland will attend the Ukraine Bhakti Saṅgam Festival.

As of Saturday, July 8, a round-trip airfare from Zürich to Odessa costs CHF 276,– if booked on Ukraine International Airlines. Upon our arrival at Odessa International Airport on Sept. 3, 2017, a minivan will transfer festivalgoers from Switzerland directly to the Festival Site (reverse arrangement for our return on Sept. 9, 2017). The cost for a round-trip transfer (1’10” drive each way) is expected to be around CHF 30,– per person, but prices may change.

Regarding accommodations, they wiill be comfortable and better than last year at Lake Svityaz. Cost: $10 per day.

As for prasādam, it will be abundant, delicious, served with love, and free of charge, as always.

Your servant always,
