Abhinava Gupta Dam
A young mission finding its shape
Leányfalu is the Hungarian base for a spiritual mission that began with the arrival of two Vedic monks, sent by their Master. Abhinava Gupta Dam is described as the foundation’s youngest and most dynamically developing mission, giving it the character of a project still taking shape rather than a long-established retreat institution. Its work is presented through a spiritual mission, while the exact teaching lineage and retreat format are best confirmed with the organizers. Visitors can get in touch to learn what gatherings are currently running and whether a first visit would be a good fit. Leányfalu is within reach of Budapest, making the village a practical base for a retreat trip. Participation is paid, but rates and what they include should be confirmed before making travel plans.
