New temple of ISKCON is coming up at Pune and we are inviting people to donate for this temple. Please visit our page

1. Guru MukhaPadmaVakya…

2. Oh, so beautiful! Radheshyam, how can you afford to keep them locked up in this room? Look at Them! They’re saying, “We are eager to meet and receive service of thousands of devotees awaiting us. Place us in the new temple as soon as possible.”

3. Everything is possible; at any cost you should not keep the Lordships locked up like this. Give them Their palace as soon as possible to live and distribute Their mercy to thousands of visitors.

4. Why do you want to give Balaji a smaller festival? Also, why do you want to use Him as your Fundraiser? But if you open both temples together, that will have one big impact and THAT will bring all money required to complete the project.

5. That is a perfect decision maharaja! One big impact is much better than one small and one big later. In fact if we divide the impact, then we may not get enough devotees for both.

6. Radheshyam prabhu…. Somehow you have to complete the temple soon and place all of Them on the altar within a year.

7. No, you should make the temple ready by NityanandaTrayodashi…..not all temple leaders may want to be away from their temples on that day…. May be ‘VasantPanchami’ is a good day, because it is very auspicious and also all the leaders of temples with their devotees will also come for our opening ceremony. In case the temple is not complete by then, you should open it latest by Rama Navami festival.

8. I never asked money while fundraising for Sri SriRadhaGopinath, but in Pune, you can not apply this technique, you can directly approach and ask for money…

9. Devotees – Maharaj, we need your blessings HHRNSM- Blessings are already there, Put your body, mind and soul in bringing Sri SriRadhavrindavanchandra

10. Nothing comes for free! The price you've to pay is that you've to complete the temple project in one year and open it before next Ram Navami!
