A Divine Legacy in the making

A magnificent new ISKCON temple is being built in Remuna – The Gupta Vrindavan Dham where devotees gather to chant, hear the glories of the Lord, and engage in devotional service. Srila Prabhupada taught that building temples is an act of great spiritual merit, as it provides an opportunity for all to reconnect with Krishna and his devotees. By contributing to this divine project, you become part of a mission that will spread Krishna consciousness for generations. Your generous donation will help establish a sanctuary of devotion, where spiritual seekers can find peace, wisdom, and eternal inspiration.

Jhansi - A Place Where it all began

Preserving this dham is essential for maintaining the authenticity of these divine pastimes and ensuring future generations can experience its spiritual potency. Maintaining its cleanliness, supporting its upkeep, and respecting its sanctity are vital for honoring its legacy and facilitating spiritual connection. This care allows devotees to connect with the Lord’s pastimes and receive His blessings.

    KHIR CHOR GOPINATH   

The Khirachora Gopinath Temple in Remuna, Odisha, is renowned for its association with Lord Krishna. The temple’s name stems from the legend of Lord Gopinath stealing “khira” (sweetened condensed milk) for his devotee, Madhavendra Puri. The deity, Gopinath, is deeply revered, and the temple holds significant spiritual importance. It’s also associated with the visit of Sri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu, further enhancing its sanctity. The temple is famous for the offering of the khira, which has a very famous history. The temple is also connected to the history of Madhavendra puri.

    SRILA MADHAVENDRA PURI SAMADHI   

Madhavendra Puri is a revered Vaishnava saint in Gaudiya vaishnava lineage. He’s considered the spiritual master of Advaita Acharya and Ishvara Puri, who was Chaitanya Mahaprabhu’s guru. Madhavendra Puri established the worship of Gopal at Govardhana Hill and introduced the concept of offering “Annkuta” (a grand offering of food). His deep devotional love for Krishna, exemplified by his separation mood (vipralambha), profoundly influenced Chaitanya Mahaprabhu’s teachings. His pastimes, particularly the Khirachora Gopinath incident, demonstrate his intense devotion and Krishna’s reciprocation.

    SRILA SYAMANAND PANDIT SAMADHI   

Shyamanda Pandit, originally Dukhi Krishna Dasa, was a devoted disciple. He received initiation from Hridaya Chaitanya and was later guided by Jiva Goswami in Vrindavan. A pivotal moment occurred when he discovered Srimati Radharani’s ankle bells, “nupurs,” while cleaning the groves of Vrindavan. This event marked a significant turning point, and he was then given the name Shyamanda. He then travelled to Odisha, and helped to spread Gaudiya vaishnavism. He was a very powerful preacher, and initiated many people. He established many temples.

    SRILA BALADEV VIDYABHUSHAN BIRTHPLACE   

Baladeva Vidyabhushana, an 18th-century Gaudiya Vaishnava Acharya, was born in Remuna, Odisha. A scholar of Sanskrit grammar, poetry, and logic, he studied Gaudiya Vaishnava philosophy under Vishvanatha Chakravarti Thakura in Vrindavan. At the court of King Sawai Jai Singh II of Jaipur, he defended the Gaudiya Vaishnava tradition. When scholars from the Sri Sampradaya questioned the absence of a Gaudiya commentary on the Vedanta Sutras, he composed the “Govinda Bhashya.” This work established Gaudiya Vaishnava philosophy within the Vedanta framework. He authored other significant texts, foundational to Gaudiya Vaishnava principles. He is a key figure in Gaudiya Vaishnava history.

    SRILA SRIDHAR SWAMI BIRTHPLACE   

Sridhara Swami, a revered Vaishnava saint, predates Chaitanya Mahaprabhu. He’s most known for his commentary on the Srimad Bhagavatam, “Bhavartha-dipika,” which is highly respected in Vaishnava circles. Chaitanya Mahaprabhu himself held Sridhara Swami’s explanations in high regard, affirming their authenticity. His commentary is valued for its clear and devotional insights into the Bhagavatam’s teachings. He emphasized pure devotion to Krishna, influencing later Gaudiya Vaishnava thinkers. His work provides a foundational understanding of the Bhagavatam’s philosophy.
