Temple Maha Clean-up
Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu set the example on how to welcome the Lord by personally cleaning the Gundica Temple. In preparation of Sri Krishna Janmashtami and following in Lord Caitanya's footsteps, we will be doing a thorough cleansing of Sri Sri Radha Radhanath Temple, the temple gardens, and the surrounding area. You are invited to join in and help make the temple more beautiful for the Lord's divine appearance.
