The commercial operation is now in full swing, for the upcoming tourist season. Please be mindful of the crowd and be prepared to stay in dorms - that's for you BKs. That's because the individual rooms are all sold out to "GUESTS". We have too many programs going on, where people bring in money, or we bring in those who can influence and get us.. you are correct... MORE MONEY
So, you lowly BKs who are only coming with hope and expectations of "experience with Baba"... move over and make way... the money truck is rolling in ...

Dates for Madhuban Season 2019/20
08 July 2019
Season’s dates and Double Foreigners Program
Madhuban is welcoming us and this season we have the fortune of 11 groups for the Avyakt meetings. Below is a schedule of dates for the 2019-2020 season
As you will see below, the full season for double foreigners will start with the Avyakt Meeting on 30 November, with smaller groups welcome for 17 October and 15 November Avyakt Meetings.
Groups One & Two: 17 October and 15 November 2019 Avyakt Meetings
Due to a continuous number of guest retreats in Gyan Sarovar and festivals from mid-October to early December, all of the rooms in Harmony House, Vishnupuri and Shanti Kunj Bhawan will be occupied by guests, BK companions for guests, helpers and IP/VIP Bharatwasi guests.
Therefore, during this time, for BKs who are not helping with the retreats and are coming for the season, only dormitory-style accommodation will be available in Raj Rishi Bhawan (Gyan Sarovar) and Pandav Bhawan. As only a limited number can be accommodated we wish to offer these places to those groups who can adjust with dormitories.
A small number of Hindi-speaking BKs can be accommodated in Shantivan for 17 October and 15 November meetings. This group may have day visits to Pandav Bhawan and Gyan Sarovar, but would not be able to stay.
The numbers are:- 50 Double Foreigners in Gyan Sarovar (who are willing to stay in Raj Rishi Bhawan dormitories)
Therefore the allocation is as follows:
- 100 Double Foreigners in Pandav Bhawan (who are willing to stay in dormitories)
- 100 Double Foreigners in Shantivan (Hindi-speaking Double Foreigners)- Gyan Sarovar and Pandav Bhawan: 30 per region
Please let your National Coordinator office know how many BKs wish to come for these groups by 15 July. The National Coordinator office will liaise with the RC to confirm those spaces or otherwise.
- Shantivan: 20 per region
Group Three: 30 November Avyakt Meeting
As there will be guest retreats in Gyan Sarovar until early December, 300 BKs can be accommodated in Gyan Sarovar, and 100 BKs can be accommodated in Pandav Bhawan in dormitory-style accommodation only.
Please be aware that as a very large group of guests will be in Gyan Sarovar until 24 November, it may be that the rooms you want are not ready on your arrival, as they need to be cleaned, but please just adjust and be patient.
Groups Four onwards: Avyakt Meeting of 15 December 2019 onwards
Double Foreigners may arrange their travel for Group 4 dates onwards. Accommodation for double foreigners will be in Gyan Sarovar and Pandav Bhawan.
It is requested that double foreigners come for one meeting, and adhere to the Group Dates, as there are just few days in between for the cleaning of rooms before the next group arrives.
It is requested that those coming for Group 11, leave on the dates mentioned, to allow for cleaning and preparation for the season of Indian retreats and meetings.
Retreats with Centre Residents & Right Hands of Centres (incl Gita Pathshala Coordinators)
Please note that this season there will not be a retreat for this group in October as there has been in the last few years. Instead, we will be holding a few two-day retreats during the Double Foreigner program for those from Centre Residents & Right Hands of Centres (incl Gita Pathshala Coordinators). More information about these will be coming to you.
There will be Double Foreigner Programs in all 11 of the Groups
Please note that for the groups where there is a smaller number of Double Foreigners present, there will be a small range of activities and classes available. For the largest Groups, in particular groups 9 & 10, there will be a wide number of activities, classes, retreats and Seniors.
Accommodation
Those who need small rooms due to health, couples who need a room together or the elderly, are requested to avoid the 17 October and 15 November meetings, and to come for the 6 March, 20 March or 3 April meetings where more facilities are available. Please avoid coming for the 20 February meeting as the National Coordinators & CCs will be there and it's also much colder in mid-February.
We look forward to an uplifting season (aka profitable season)
With love,
In Baba's Yaad,
RCs
