Annual destination for Australian youth to learn about spirituality
through engaging seminars and inspiring kirtans.
BhaktiFest is a youth-run initiative that aims to bring young people from diverse backgrounds together with the vision of fostering a vibrant generation of spiritually minded youth. Held at the picturesque Hunter Valley Retreat Centre, surrounded by 200 acres of beautiful Australian bushland at the foot of the majestic Watagan Mountains, this is where you can dive into the ecstasy and bliss of spirituality. Feel the thrill of the moment and the boundless joy that stays with you in this extraordinary setting an experience you can’t afford to miss.
Immerse yourself in the uplifting vibrations of kirtan, led by renowned artists from around the world. Chant sacred mantras with soulful music, connect with the divine, and experience the joy of this powerful, heart-opening practice.
Join us for a joyful and soul-stirring Harinaam through the city with friends! Experience the transcendental vibration of the holy names as we come together in song, dance, and celebration. Let’s fill the streets with devotion, music, and a spirit of togetherness, spreading the joy of Krishna consciousness to all.
Engage in dynamic, youth-focused workshops led by spiritual leaders and speakers from around the world. These interactive sessions, ranging from inspiring lectures to fun activities, are designed to empower your spiritual journey and help you build strong connections with others.
Please accept my obeisances. All glories to Srila Prabhupada. BhaktiFest 2k25 is a great idea. I am so glad that our devotee youth are planning to have such an event and invite devotees from all over Australia and overseas. Please keep me informed on how it develops. Your servant Ramai Swami
Srila Prabhupada's preaching field was mostly to the youth in America in those beginning days of ISKCON, and it was those young people, some not much older than 20-25 years old, who helped Prabhupada spread his movement all over the world. Therefore, the importance of our youth cannot be underestimated! I am delighted to see the amazing BhaktiFest 2K25 bringing all the youth together in a wonderful festival that Srila Prabhupada, I am sure, would be so pleased with.
BhaktiFest 2k25 is such a wonderful initiative for the youth of Australia. It’s a great chance for the youth to connect, grow, and experience the joy of spiritual life in a really meaningful way. The workshops, the uplifting kirtans, and the friendships to be made here are truly special. I’m excited to support this event and encourage parents to send their kids – it’s an experience that can genuinely touch hearts and inspire a lifetime of positivity and purpose.
On behalf of New Gokula Farm community, I am very excited to be a part of BhaktiFest. I think this is a much needed program and that we should be very conscientious to engage our talented youth and indicate our support for them and give them support and training. So New Gokula would love to see this be a roaring success!
