The purpose of the temple is to enlighten the visitors about the knowledge of soul, God and the loving relationship between them. This can bring us out of worldly lamentations, illusions and fears and help us cleanse our heart of all misgivings like lust, pride, anger, illusion, greed etc by the chanting the holy names of Hare Krishna mahamantra, hearing Srimad Bhagavad gita and Bhagavatam and worshiping the Deity form of the Lord. One can become happy now and for ever by cleansing the heart in this way.
Just as a letter posted in a postal mailbox reaches the desired destination safely, similarly the Supreme Lord, Sri Krishna though performing pastimes in the spiritual world, also mercifully appears in the material world in the Deity form for our benefit to accept our services -- worship, circumambulation, bathing, dressing, feeding bhoga, decorating with gorgeous clothing and ornaments and garlands etc. Thus we can become purified by having Lord’s darshan, by rendering service to Him and by chanting and dancing for His pleasure. Lord Krishna tells Uddhava (SB 11th canto) “ I will appear in deity form in kaliyuga and whoever dances before deity I will give special benediction to them.”
Our Sri Sri Radha Vrindavanchandra mandir will have three main deities.
- Shree Shree Radha Vrindavanchandra
- Shree Jagannatha Baladeva Subadra
- Shree Shree Gaur Nitai, who are fathers of the Sankirtan movement
