Radha Govind Dham receives its inspiration from Jagadguru Shree Kripalu Ji Maharaj, who is the 5th Original Jagadguru of our times and widely acknowledged as the foremost authority on Bhakti (the path of devotion to God) at the present time
Shree Maharaj Ji was born in a small village of Mangarh, near the holy city Prayag (Allahabad, India) in 1922. In order to benefit those souls desiring God’s love, Kripalu Ji Maharaj founded an Ashram in Mangarh in 1966. Over the years, the ashram has steadily expanded to accommodate thousands of devotees who come from all over the world. Today, Mangarh is a pilgrimage destination with an architectural wondrous Radha Krishna Temple – Bhakti Mandir, and Bhakti Bhavan a90,000 square foot auditorium that can accommodate over 10,000 devotees at one time.
At the young age of 35 years, the fame of Kripaluji Maharaj’s unparalleled scriptural knowledge spread across India and inspired Kashi Vidvat Parishat, an exclusive body of 500 most revered Vedic scholars, to invite him to Kashi to deliver a series of discourses. His discourses in fluent Vedic Sanskrit left all of the scholars speechless. With profound admiration, Kashi Vidvat Parishat unanimously proclaimed him as Jagadguruttam. After the 4 Jagadguru’s Jagadguru Shree Kripalu Ji Maharaj is the fifth original Jagadguru of India.
Through countless lectures, Jagadguru Kripalu Ji Maharaj has explained the most complex teachings of Hindu scriptures in a simple, practical manner that can be understood by people of all backgrounds. He emphasized roopdhyan (actively engaging the mind while meditating on the form of God) as the most important part of Bhakti -considering Bhakti without roopdhyan lifeless. He has also revealed a sea of devotional material including Prem Ras Siddhant, 1,008 original pads (devotional songs) and thousands of enchanting Radha Krishna bhajans and kirtans.
Jagadguru Shree Kripaluji Maharaj’s discourses are aired daily on US Television. His spiritual teaching clarifies the purpose of life, details the path of bhakti yoga, and outlines the essence of the Hindu religion.

Radha Madhav Dham is one of the largest Hindu temples and ashrams in the U.S. It was built to be a representation of the holy land of Braj in India where Radha Rani and Shree Krishna appeared 5,000 years ago.
Radha Madhav Dham has a core spiritual mission “To inspire devotion to Radha Krishna”
