Gita Nagari Dham

Set in the scenic Tuscarora Valley, framed by mountain ridges, boundaried by the Tuscarora Creek on the east side, inhabited by melodious birds and other creatures, home to 9 joyful volunteers, 64 peaceful cows/oxen, and a carefree flock of about 40 peacocks, Gita Nagari Organic Farm of 350 acres of rolling green hay fields, pastures and diverse woods engages in compassionate farming, above all its other activities.

We are a small community set in the rural city of Port Royal, PA with a singular aim of integrating our existence based on the principles of love, care and respect for all living beings. Spirituality, Sustainability and Community Care form the basis of our activities. GIta Nagari is a Dham (Holy Place) and we therefore request all our guests to kindly be respectful to all residents (human, animal, plant life) and of course each other.

HIGHLIGHTS of our FARM:
* Organic Farming
* Sustainable Living
* Creamery – the only certified Grade A cruelty-free, slaughter free dairy and creamery in North America
* Cow Sanctuary
* Yoga Studio and Retreat Center

Gita Nagari’s opulence lies in its authentic community, happy cows, fertile land, serene forests, and warm hospitality. This special place is very simple yet enchanting, lovingly presided over by Their Lordships Sri Sri Radha Damodara.

Gita Nagari is in an interesting phase of its development – much pioneering work is being done in various facets of the Project based on Srila Prabhupada’s vision, especially on his “Conception of Gita Nagari” written in 1956, affectionately known as the Gita Nagari Prophecy.

We are delighted to host you into this developing space through the forthcoming Retreat. As it is “developing”, there are many building and facility upgrades in process so we beg for your understanding if some facets may not meet your expectations.
