SKANDA VALE NEWS

Last update: 24th August 2010

 
 

New Skanda Vale Temple in Switzerland  

Between the 23rd and 26th September, we'll be sanctifying the foundations of a Swiss mountain Shiva Shakti Temple with a yagam ceremony. All are welcome to attend this special celebration and take part in the seminar. Please click here for an application form.

 

Coach bookings

Unfortunately we are unable to take any coach bookings between Thursday 23rd and Sunday 26th of September.

It is essential that coach groups contact the Temple at least one month prior to organising their pilgrimage. If you organise your pilgrimage before contacting us, then YOU WILL NOT BE ABLE TO COME TO SKANDA VALE, as we do not have the facilities to cope with extra bookings.

 

Families with young children and babies

Unfortunately we're unable to give young families transport up the hill to the Shakti Temple. The minibus is for elderly and disabled only. Please make sure you bring sensible outdoor footwear and waterproofs for all your family, as it rains most days here in Wales.

 

Discourses available to download

This summer there will be a series of discourses, delivered to help inspire our pilgrims to build a partnership with the Divine in their everyday lives. The discourses will be given on Sundays during the lunchtime Murugan Mahabishekam, and are available here to download as pdfs:

Go bananas for the Hospice

Swami Govinda, his sister and a big bunch of friends took part in the London 10k Run on Sunday July 11th, to raise funds for our Hospice! It's not too late to sponsor them - Click here to sponsor them online!

 

 

Approved local accommodation list

Get the most out of your pilgrimage by staying overnight at Skanda Vale. During the busy summer months, you may need to book up to four weeks in advance, as we can get very busy. If we are full, then please download our list of approved local hotels and b&b's - there are some great places just a few minutes away.
