German Family Finds Spiritual Home in India
30 Oct
Summary
- A German couple relocated to Mayapur, India, in 2015 seeking spiritual connection.
- They are raising two children and managing a business in their new Indian home.
- The family documents their spiritual life and local experiences on social media.
A German couple made a significant life change in 2015, relocating to Mayapur, West Bengal, India, without plans for a return. Their quest for spiritual depth led them to this pilgrimage town, which has now become their permanent home where they are raising two children. Their social media platform, 'I Love Mayapur,' captures their daily life and integration into the local spiritual and cultural fabric.
The family's journey began with an interest in the Hare Krishna movement. They found Mayapur to be a place where spirituality is a way of life, not just an occasional practice. This spiritual haven, near Nabadwip, is a vital pilgrimage site for followers of Gaudiya Vaishnavism and the international headquarters of ISKCON.
Beyond documenting their experiences, the family launched an online shop in 2022, selling items inspired by Mayapur and Indian traditions. They also offer guided tours, sharing lesser-known aspects of the region. For this German family, Mayapur transformed from a travel destination into a place to build a life, raise a family, and establish deep roots.
