OMHOME
— A HOUSE OF FRIENDS
A warm space for meeting and talking in Chiang Mai. Vaishnavas live here permanently, and anyone can come to stay, serve and be inspired with us. Batumi → Belgrade → Chiang Mai: three years, two countries, 400+ gatherings.
MIS_SION
To share Vaishnava culture through friendship and care. We invite "ordinary" people through familiar formats — games, films, yoga — and let them gradually and voluntarily touch spiritual practice: chanting mantras, discussing philosophy, service.
The principle is yukta-vairagya: use everything that helps people come closer to God. In Georgia and Serbia this approach bore fruit: hundreds of people heard about Hare Krishna for the first time, came to kirtans, and started reading Prabhupada's books.
The atmosphere is family-like, accepting, without judgement. Relationships come before formalities, so the rules are kept gently and with respect for the person.

🎲 BOARD GAMES
Кровь на часовой башне
Приглашаем вас сыграть в настольную игру «Кровь на часовой башне». Она похожа на «Мафию», но отличается более логичным ходом расследования. В тихом городке произошло убийство, и всем стало ясно: среди жителей скрывается демон. По ночам он забирает жизни, а днём притворяется обычным человеком. Его приспешники сеют ложь и подозрения, а мирным горожанам предстоит вовремя сложить этот пазл. Главная особенность игры — здесь никто не выбывает. После смерти игроки остаются в процессе и продолжают влиять на ход событий: помогают городу найти злодеев или ещё сильнее запутывают остальных. Приходите поразмышлять и распутать эту историю вместе! 🕵️
