| With the blessings of Jagadguru Shree Kripalu Ji Maharaj, the preachers of Jagadguru Kripalu Parishat will deliver a unique 2 week Sadhana Camp at Radha Madhav Dham in July |
As the fragrance of sandalwood is liberally dispersed by the breeze, so too is the authentic
raganuga culture of
Vrindavan being spread throughout the entire world through the numerous preachers who have been inspired here. The nucleus of Vrindavan culture in the west is the Radha Madhav Dham, [the
ashram of Jagadguru
Kripalu Ji Maharaj in America], which houses the Shree Raseshwari Radha Rani temple, the only temple dedicated to Radha Rani outside of Braj. Radha Madhav Dham is, and has been, a Divine nucleus for the dissemination of Vrindavan culture throughout the west and is the veritable confluence of Radha Krishna devotees, Saints and scholars since the past quarter century. All the prominent religious leaders who have visited America, including Jagadguru Shree
Kripalu Ji Maharaj, have spent time and been inspired there. This Summer,
Radha Madhav Dham will be hosting one of the largest
sadhana intensives of its kind from June 29 to July 13, 2013. The event will be presented by many well known preachers including Sushree Braj Banchari Devi, Sushree Siddheshwari Devi, Sushree Gopeshwari Devi, Swami Mukundananda, Swami Maheshwaranand, Sushree Diwakari Devi,
Swami Nikhilanand and Sushree Rameshwari Devi.

Shree Raseshwari Radha Rani Temple is the first Hindu temple built in Austin, Texas, and one of the largest Hindu temples in the United States. It was founded with the inspiration of
Jagadguru Shree
Kripalu Ji Maharaj in 1990. In the Temple shrine, the main Deity of Shree Raseshwari Radha Rani is seated on the throne in the center; to Her right are the Deities of
Radha Krishna together in
raas pose; and to Her left is the Deity of Shree Chaitanya Mahaprabhuji. Radha Madhav Dham was designed as a representation of Braj and all of the main holy places from here have been recreated on the picturesque 220-acre property. Some of the highlights are Govardhan Hill, Radha Kund, Prem Sarovar, Shyam Kuti and Mor Kuti and a natural stream, named Kalindi, represents the Yamuna river of
Vrindavan.
Radha Madhav Dham is listed by Yoga Journal as “one of the best places to relax, reflect, and renew” and is featured in National Geographic’s ”The 100 Best Vacations to Enrich Your Life”.

A concurrent youth camp will be held during the Sadhana Intensive, so parents can bring their children (3 years and older) and immerse them in the experience. The Youth Camp not only gives the children spiritual understanding of Hinduism, but it also reinforces pride in their heritage. Youth Camp is scheduled from June 29 to July 7.
