Deity
Deity
The presiding deities of this monastery are Sri Sri Gouranga Radha Vrajesvara.
The deity is a manifestation of the lord in this world, throught which he is giving us an opportunity to meditate on him and to serve him through various types of services.
There is a ancient tradition of wordship of their lordship, called artik, which involves offering elements like incense, fire, water, flowers, food, etc. Everyone can take part in such type of wordship of the Lord.

Maha Samadhi
The sanskrit word Maha Samadhi means complete absorption in God.
This little shrine in the place where the sacred body of his Divine Grace Srila B V Harijan Maharaj (the first spiritual master from Colombia) is contained.
Unlike the general vedic custom, where the body of departed souls are cremated, the bodies of saintly persons, pure devotees of the lord, are preserved in this type of shrine. The purpose of this shrine is that people can visit them, wordship the these saints and remember their divine teachings.

Real Spiritual Education
Varsana is excellent place for studies. You can take some our courses and obtain knowledge in different arts and sciences that will let you develop your internal potencial and reach a better standard of living.

Yoga Planetarium
Presently we are constructing a very ambitius project called "Yoga Planetarium- Eco Truly Park". This Park is consisting of building in a circular base and a conical structure. The conical form of construction is very particular. It is obtained by the free fall of a rope, which is supported on two end.
It represents the very natural form of space, where the energy inside the building is very much in harmony with the universal powers. Such characteristics are increasing the meditative atmosphere within the building. The Eco Truly Park is a offering of love and appreciation for the Supreme Lord, who is the Creator, Maintainer and Annihilator of the whole existence.
Beacuse of that, the construction work as well as the meditation in the building are meant to connect us with the Supreme Lord.

Art
In Varsana's Ecological Park you can enjoy the magic and the captivation of the Hindu Art, where they are considerated as a traditional way of acommplishment.
The pure estethic experience brings about and ecstasy that anticipates accomplishment ans spiritual fullness.
The predominant expresion in Varsana is the architecture and in each of strategyc sectionsof the farm, the architecture stands a special way of representing and revealing the sacredness of that atracction.
