Dear Friends

All glories to Sri Krishna!

Thank you for your dedicated support of Sri Sri Radha Radhanath Temple.

I am currently engaged in important service in India with my spiritual master. This has invariably impacted my service as Temple President at ISKCON Durban and I thus require an extended leave of absence from my responsibilities there.

I am fortunate to serve with a competent team of devotees managing the Sri Sri Radha Radhanath Temple: Anandamaya Krishna Dasa, Nityananda Dasa, Ramvijay Dasa, and Rasa-sthali Dasi. To more than adequately compensate for my leave of absence, we have added Balaram Dasa (PSDG) and Devadeva Dasa to this team. 

During my absence over the next months, this management team will be fully responsible for maintaining and progressing the activities at Sri Sri Radha Radhanath Temple. Please engage with the management team, support them, and expand and improve the service to Sri Sri Radha Radhanath and Srila Prabhupada.

I look forward to absorbing myself in the daily darshan of Sri Sri Radha Radhanath, and to hearing of the developments taking place at the temple, and I pray here in Sri Vrindavan Dhama, that your efforts in supporting the temple will be blessed by the Lord.

To address any matter with the management team, please email management@iskcondurban.net.

Thank you. Hare Krishna.

Yours in service to Lord Krishna
Swarup Damodar Dasa
ISKCON Durban Temple President
