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, 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 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”
To Teach The True Knowledge of Hindu Vedic Scriptures and to ensure authentic teachings of Hindu religion are available for future generations in a simplified, practical way that is combined with logical scientific explanations as to how we can make them relevant to modern living.
To Teach The Practical Form Of Devotion
On the path to God, Knowledge is incomplete without practical experience. Bhakti Yog is the spiritual practice whereby a soul can attain the ultimate purpose of life, God realization.
To Help Souls In Need through support of Humanitarian and Charitable Projects. This way we can not only improve the material welfare of society but elevate our own self through the act of giving and thereby accelerating our own spiritual progress.

A center created for the community, by the community.
DEVOTION

EDUCATION
To provide youth, living in the western culture, a deep immersion into Indian tradition, culture and give them skills that can help children excel at school and in life
Shiksha – Enrichment School for Hindu Youth run by Radha Govind Dham volunteers achieves this aim successfully
COMMUNITY
To provide a place for cultural celebrations and community activities so as to bring the Hindu community together as one extended family – whether they are Hindu Youth, Adults or Seniors

Being at Shiksha opens doors for Indian youth to explore the many treasures of Indian and Hindu culture. Classes are small so that the unique strengths of a child can be focused upon and brought out. Students will gain an educational ‘edge’.
First, almost all of our teachers here at Shiksha are parents themselves. Not only are they experts, or performing artists in their respective fields, they are also friendly, caring and trustworthy. Many of our teachers have won awards and recognition for their work.
