ISKCON Croatia invites you to
VAISNAVA SUMMER FESTIVAL 2007

 When?

14th July (Saturday) to 22nd July 2007 (Sunday, until lunch prasadam)

--------------------------------

 Where?

Kamp Ostro in Kraljevica (30 km south of Rijeka, Croatia)

--------------------------------

 Lecturers and Seminars

HH Bir Krsna Goswami:  To be announced

HH Sacinandana Swami: "Therapeutic Hearing"  - The Sruteksita Path of
Revelation

In this seminar Sacinandana Swami will explore and present the powerful
effect of listening and reading from holy scriptures.
How to gain deeper insights, experience long lasting transformations and
even a spiritual rebirth are some of the subjects which will be discussed.
"Therapeutic Hearing" is not only a theoretical seminar but will include
practical exercises in listening from scriptures. All are welcome.

HG Krsna-ksetra Prabhu: Divine Laughter: Recovering the fun of spiritual
life

This will be an attempt to collectively reflect on the "light side" of
bhakti. We will have a mixed bag of activities: Part analytical (what is
hasya-rasa? what is comedy?), part visual (viewing and discussing some KC
art, maybe also cartoons), part dramatic (some "Balacarita" -- Krsna"s
childhood pastimes -- from the classical Sanskrit drama of Bhasa), and part
let"s-see-what-else-happens.

HH Jayapataka Swami: To be announced

HH Candra-mauli Swami: To be announced

HG Braja-bihari Prabhu: Conflict resolution
   Mediation

This is not the final list of lecturers and seminars during the summer
festivals. Further information on visiting lecturers and their topics will
be dispatched during the following month.

Since the number of our guest lecturers is higher than in previous years,
two seminars will take place at the same time - one in the temple tent, the
other in the restaurant hall near the kitchen.

Further details on seminars, and the exact times of their taking place, will
be announced separately.

 Reaching the camp

If coming by car from the direction of Rijeka, drive along the main road
towards Split, following the roadsigns for Kraljevica. It is some 20-30
minutes away. Once you leave the town of Kraljevica, there will be a
roadsign signalling a right-hand, seawards turn for Ostro Camp. Taking no
turns, follow this road to reach the camp.

If you arrive to Rijeka by bus or train, there is a bus leaving for
Kraljevica from the main bus station in the city center. You may also take a
taxi which will cost you some 150 kuna.

If coming from other directions, follow the roadsigns for Kraljevica and
before entering the town take a left-hand, seawards turn marked by the Ostro
Camp roadsign.

Apart from the road traffic, you can also arrive by plane to the Krk airport
which is 10 minutes (by car) from the camp.

 Ratha-yatra festival in Rijeka

The traditional Ratha-yatra festival in Rijeka will also be held this year.
Although the organization of the Ratha-yatra festival is separate from the
camp management, we all agreed not to have the Friday (20th July) afternoon
seminars so that all devotees can take part in the auspicious festival.

More details on the Ratha-yatra program, as well as the transport to and
from the festival grounds, will be announced during the Summer Camp.
