Your Day in Vrindavan

“I always prayed for some service in Vrindavan, but didn't know how to get it. My desire is that you will grant me a residence in Vrindavan.”

Personal service in Vrindavan guarantees your eternal residence at Sri Krishna and Balaram's lotus feet. Become one of Krishna and Balaram's 365 exclusive personal servants in Vrindavan.

Surrender yourself completely in Vrindavan

Vrindavan is your eternal home.

As a faithful follower of Srila Prabhupada and aspiring devotee of Sri Sri Gaura Nitai, Krishna Balaram and Radha Krishna, you certainly can understand the benefit of rendering service in the holy dhama of Vrindavan. Perhaps you have even prayed to become a resident of Vrindavan.

Imagine for one moment how wonderful it would be if you could spend the rest of eternity serving Krishna and His eternal associates in Vrindavan. Today that dream can become a reality. You can choose one day, or more than one day, in the year to sponsor the entire seva and puja of Sri Sri Gaura Nitai, Krishna Balaram, and Radha Shyamasundara. On that day, through your sponsorship, you will be 100% engaged in Their loving service by providing every detail of service for the temple.

Perfect Vrindavan meditation

You will offer delicious foodstuffs and arati to the Lord six times a day.

As Their personal servant, you will first arrange to wake Their Lordships and offer Them mangala arati and kirtan. You will then help with Their bathing and dressing. After darshan They will enjoy the morning bhog offering, Their day will progress blissfully with Raj Bhog arati, afternoon offering, two evening offerings and aratis. At night you will lovingly put Their Lordships to rest. You will also arrange prasadam for all of the devotees in the temple, make sure the temple is clean, see that the Life Members and special guests receive prasadam, and feed the general public prasadam in the morning and evening at the front of the temple. At the Goshala you will be feeding nearly 300 cows, calves and bulls. You will also see to the entire service for Srila Prabhupada in his home and samadhi.

This is the perfect meditation, and this becomes your reality when you become one of Krishna and Balaram's personal servants in Vrindavan. It is the beginning of your eternal residence in the dhama, where you will continue to serve Their Lordships blissfully without cessation or interruption.

Please tell me, When will that day be mine —

Srila Bhaktivinoda Thakura prays for the day when his offences will cease and he will be able to relish the nectar of Sri Krishna's holy name. He begs, “Please give me unmotivated devotion to Your lotus feet, birth after birth.” That day of humble devotional service can now be yours in Vrindavan. Choose your day of uninterrupted loving service. Let there be an awakening of compassion in your heart for all the souls who are purified as they come for darshan to the temple. Twenty-four hour kirtan will drown them in ecstatic symptoms as they chant and dance in joy with the devotees. This is your day in Vrindavan.

The treasure of divine love in Vrindavan

Wherever you live in the world, you can meditate on your eternal service in Vrindavan on your special day. This is the process for returning back to home, back to Godhead. As Sri Krishna advises in the Bhagavad-gita, “Always think of Me, become My devotee, worship Me and offer your homage unto Me. Thus you will come to Me without fail. I promise you this because you are My very dear friend.” (Bg. 18.64)

Reciprocation for your loving service

The day of service you render in Vrindavan will be highly appreciated by the devotees. Along with the spiritual, internal reciprocation you will experience directly from the Supreme Lord, the devotees of the Krishna Balaram Temple also wish to express their appreciation for your selfless service. They have prepared special transcendental gifts and mahaprasadam for you. If you are in Vrindavan on the day of your service, your gifts will be delivered to you personally.

If you are unable to come to Vrindavan on that auspicious day, we will send your gifts to you by courier. Krishna finds it difficult to reciprocate the love of His pure devotees who are prepared to sacrifice so much in His service. But He never forgets the service you render. He becomes indebted to you, and the service itself will also become your source of satisfaction. But Krishna's devotees will try their best to express their appreciation for your service. Along with gifts, your name will be engraved permanently on a plaque in the Krishna Balaram temple for your perpetual sponsorship of one day each year.

Please give me the privilege of devotional service

All of your prayers, all of your desires are fulfilled when you attain the privilege of devotional service in Vrindavan. Not every devotee is capable of performing the incredible task of supporting the entire temple for a day. Consider yourself specially blessed by Sri Krishna if He has given you such great facility to serve Him. Like offering a lamp to the sun, what can we offer to Bhagavan Sri Krishna? It is our love and devotion He accepts, however great or small the offering may be. But if you are blessed with the facility to offer such great service, please accept this privilege.

“Vrindavan is my home.”

The beating heart of ISKCON

Srila Prabhupada called the Krishna Balaram Temple the 'beating heart of ISKCON'. Vrindavan was so dear to Srila Prabhupada that he chose to remain here eternally in Samadhi at the front of the Krishna Balaram Temple. Such an important temple requires the attention of the entire community of ISKCON devotees. Vrindavan is a small town composed of pilgrims and several thousand residents. Maintenance of such a huge international project requires more help than can be collected locally. Take a moment and consider becoming a perpetual donor for Srila Prabhupada's eternal residence, Sri Krishna's eternal abode Sri Vrindavan dhama.

Srila Prabhupada on ISKCON Vrindavan

“Our Vrindavan temple is perhaps our nicest building in the whole movement, and I want that our Vrindavan temple to be the first class temple of India. Already people are saying that it surpasses all temples of the district in beauty, and I think it surpasses all temples in India.

“Mayapur and Vrindavan are places of spiritual inspiration for all devotees of ISKCON. They are the best places in the world to come and chant Hare Krishna and prepare for going back to home, back to Godhead."

This is a simple and wonderful way to participate in the on-going seva at the Krishna Balaram Mandir. You can pick a day of your choice and by offering a donation of Rs. 11,000 sponsor a good portion of the overall activities in the project for that day.

That is YOUR day in Vrindavan. You can then continue to sponsor that particular day every year by offering this amount. Your contributions will be acknowledged gratefully in front of the Deities and you will receive some nice transcendental gifts from the Dhama.
