Radha Krishna Statue of Vrindavan ISKCON Temple

Krishna's youthful dalliances with the 'gopis' are interpreted as symbolic of the loving interplay between God and the human soul. Radha's utterly rapturous love for Krishna and their relationship is often interpreted as the quest for union with the divine. This kind of love is of the highest form of devotion in Vaishnavism, and is symbolically represented as the bond between the wife and husband or beloved and lover.

Five hundred years ago, that same supreme cause, Lord Sri Krsna, appeared as Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu and declared that the chanting of His holy names Hare Krsna, Hare Rama would spread beyond the shores of India to every town and village in the world. Hundreds of years passed, and Lord Caitanyas faithful followers were left wondering just how and when His bold prediction would come true.

Every temple should be like this one! There is such a deeply felt mood of devotion and love in this temple. The care taken to decorate the Lord and His temple is evident in the beautiful darshans. And the perpetual kirtan is absolutely heart-penetrating. The property also has the samadhi and home of the great Bhaktivedanta Swami Srila Prabhupada who took bhakti-yoga outside of India and spread it throughout the world.

ISKCON Temple Vrindavan Outside View

Vrindavan, the place where Lord Krishna indulged in his pastimes and where you will find a temple for Krishna in every nook and corner of this town, has over 5000 temples (I am told). In this labyrinth of temples the Iskcon temple stands out due to its sheer sense of "Bhakthi" or devotional service to Krishna. The beautiful temple made of exquisite marble sculpture and the most beautiful deities of Krishna, Radha and Gaura Nitai I have seen till date, reverberate with devotion. Incessant kirtan and bhajan, the flow of devotees (many of the from abroad and many of the ladies look like Gopis in Indian attire), the easily available Prasad and the fabulous Darshan (sight) of the Lord without any long queues make the ISKCON Krishna Balram temple the best in Vrindavan.

This was the best temple that I have ever visited in my life. The moment I entered the temple I could not believe my eyes. The fresh flowers were looking gorgeous. The vibes in the temple were amazing. I loved the chanting and the devotees are absolutely friendly they made us feel at home. I will visit the temple over and over again and would recommend anyone to visit this temple and have the best experience of their life.

 Prem Mandir- A Symbol Of True Love

As the name suggests "Prem Mandir" is the statue of true love of "Lord Krishna & Radha". I believe it is one of the finest temples of India in terms of architecture and construction. One must not miss to visit this temple whenever at "Vrindavan". All the idols of Radh-Krishna seems talking and at the entrance of the temple there is one place where Lord Krishna's very big statue is moving electrically on Kaalia Naag. This is one of the best places to visit at Vrindavan.
