Dear Devotees and Friends of Radha Govind Dham New York

With profound grief, we inform you that Jagadguru Shree Kripaluji Maharaj who was the fifth original Jagadguru in the last 5000 years, brought His visible pastimes on this earth to a close and left for the Divine Abode of Shree Radha Krishna, on November 15th, 2013.

Shree Maharajji as He was lovingly called by devotees all over the world was the embodiment of Radha Krishna bhakti and spent His entire life great teaching and guiding souls to engage in selfless devotion to Radha Krishna. 

As we grieve the physical departure of Shree Maharajji, the foremost authority of bhakti at the present time, Radha Govind Dham has decided to postpone the Diety Establishment Ceremony we previously announced for December 7 2013. Keeping in mind Shree Maharajji's emphasis on the importance of satsang and kirtan, Radha Govind Dham New York will open its doors to public for the first time on that day and will remain open to serve as a center for Radha Krishna bhakti (devotion) as explained by the great Saints of Vrindavan and further expounded by Jagadguru Shree Kripaluji Maharaj. 

The opening program for Radha Govind Dham New York on December 7, 2013 has been changed to the following: 

    11 am- 1 pm : Kirtan and live discourse by Swami Nikhilanand Ji
    1 pm - 2 pm : Lunch Mahaprasad 
    2 pm - 3 pm : Introduction to the mission and vision of Radha Govind Dham New York

Swami Nikhilanand Ji will also give live discourse on the Significance of Radha Krishna Devotion in Kaliyug from December 8-22, 2014. The discourse will be held daily from 7 pm - 9 pm followed by dinner prasad.
