Visit to ISKCon Temple, Delhi

For a long time we were planning to visit the ISKCon temple in Delhi. Recently we went there.It is situated at the East of Kailash area. The temple is also known as Shri Shri Radha Parthasarathi Mandir. As we went before Janmashtami, the preparations of the celebration was going on.

This is the entry to the temple. The stairs lead to the main hall.

In this picture, the Idols of Jai and Vijay- the gatekeeper of the Lord- can be seen in left and right side of the final stairs. The idols of Jai Vijay are also there in the ground floor, near the main entrance of the temple.

'Hare Krishna' kirtan was going on in the main hall throughout the whole time we were there.

The main hall has Radha Krishna idols at the centre.

On the right of Radha Krishna, the idols of Gour Nitai and Shri Narsimhadev are there.

On the left side of Radha Krishna, the idols of Shri Ram-Lakshma- Sita and Hanumaanji are there.

The ceiling of the main hall is painted beautifully with many scenes from the life of Shri Krishna and Shri Ram.

The temple also has books stores, memorabilia store and food stalls.

ISKCon is doing really good work in spreading devotion to the Lord :)

Do visit the temple if you are in Delhi.

Jai Shri Krishna.

'Shri Krishna Stuti': 2 Songs from Ramanand Saagar's 'Shri Krishna'

Dear Friends, today I am posting two of my most favourite songs from the TV Serial 'Shri Krishna'. Both the songs have these words- 'Shri Krishna Govinda Hare Muraare' ... and the Music is also the same.... The first one is from the scene when Shri Krishna comes to the womb of Devaki, all the god along with Brahmaji and Naaradji come to sing the glory of the Lord! That moment conveys the joy of the coming of the Lord on this earth! I always feel the happiness inside while listening to it.
