All glories to Sri Guru and Sri Gauranga!

These are the presiding deities in the temple, Sri Sri Guru Gauranga Gandharvika Giridhari. Our founder, His Divine Grace Srila B.S. Govinda Maharaj installed Their Lordships in 1996 for the spiritual benefit of everyone.

“The manifestation of the Deity gives us love for the Lord because the Deity’s manifestation is very near and very close to our mental position. Within this mundane environment we are habituated to be with our relatives. Now the Lord, in his manifestation as the Deity, is present here among us in the form of our relative. The Lord is so attractive and so sweet and so beautiful and so ecstatic and He is very near and very dear to human society, human beings and human experience.”

– Srila B.S. Govinda Maharaj

Srila Bhakti Pavan Janardan Maharaj is the acharya and spiritual leader of the Seva Ashram.

Janardan Maharj’s daily classes
