한국어 | 中文版 | Pусский

Introduction

After many years, our Sectorial Conference will be conducted at Ánanda Karnika Master Unit. This is a very historical event, since it’s been a very long time since our Sectorial Conference has been conducted in South Korea. Korea Margiis are so inspired to hold this conference and they are very busy preparing to welcome you at Ánanda Karnika MU, where they are constructing new facilities to accommodate up to 130 people.

Beautiful scenery

Ánanda Karnika MU is nestled in a serene and picturesque location, lying just a short distance from a large, tranquil reservoir that mirrors the changing skies throughout the day. Surrounded on all sides by densely forested hills, the area offers a sense of seclusion and harmony with nature. The combination of water and wooded highlands makes Ánanda Karnika MU an ideal place for contemplation, retreat, and deep connection with the natural world.

Sectorial Conference from September 26-28, 2025

During the conference you will get the chance to enjoy great performances by talented spiritual musicians, singers and dancers. There will also be spiritual wedding ceremony and delicious vegetarian food surrounded by peaceful natural scenery. Let’s explore our inner self and enter the deeper sphere of our consciousness.
