- **Event Start and End Date**: Sun, 10 May, 2026 at 01:00 pm – Sun, 10 May, 2026 at 07:00 pm (+02:00)

Sunday 10 May 2026 - 1PM - 7PM
Address: Oranjekerk, Tweede van der Helststraat 1-3, 1073 AE, Amsterdam


We are feeling very humbled and blessed that His Holiness Sacinandana Swami Maharaja has been so kind to have made room in his busy schedule in the weekend of 9th and 10th of May 2026. His presence is connected to his visit to Amsterdam Kirtan Mela on the 9th of May 2026.

What do you do when Sacinandana Swami visits?
You request him to do a Holy Name Retreat! Since many years Maharaja has hosted similar retreats all over the world. He has helped many people to develop a deeper connection to the Holy Names. This retreat consists of workshops, collective meditation sessions and kirtan. There will be room for questions and answers. And of course there will be vegetarian/vegan dinner prasadam (offered delicous food).

A bigger space
We have found a suitable place in Amsterdam. At the moment, the temple in Amsterdam does not offer the space we would like. Because we wish to offer as many people as possible the opportunity to take part, we've decided to look for a different location. Finding a suitable place ultimately brought us for the first time this year back to the Oranjekerk - where we also be helding Amsterdam Kirtan Mela!

Who is Sacinandana Swami?
Sacinandana Swami Maharaja was born in Germany. He is a disciple of Srila A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada and has been practicing bhakti yoga for 50+ years. His simplicity, humor and depth of vision make him a suitable person to learn from. You will get connected deeper in the process of devotion.

What else is important?
A retreat, even for one day, can be powerful and transforming. If you're able to also be present at the Amsterdam Kirtan Mela the day before, this makes for a weekend full of transcendental energy. This event is setup to make us connect to the Holy Names in peaceful, melodious and harmonious way. To remain in this atmosphere, we as organizers find in appropriate to mention there will be NO facilities for children on Sunday. This Holy Name Retreat is therefore less suitable for parents with young children.

Finally
For the first year, the location will be the same as the Amsterdam Kirtan Mela: the Oranjekerk. Tickets cost €20 per person and are available at Eventbrite. There are only 100 seats available. The event takes place from 13:00 until 19:00, and there won't be a Sunday Feast afterwards in the temple.

This location is within walking distance from Metrostation "De Pijp" or can be reached via P+R RAI. Please join and or invite someone who you think can benefit from a day like the Holy Name Retreat! We wish for devotees from all over the country to come for this special day.

This program is organized by ISKCON Amsterdam. All funds are used for the cost of the event. Any extras will be used to organize the 2027 and beyond events from the Kirtan Amsterdam Movement.
