Radha Madhav Dham: Amazing Temple, Ashram & Grounds

Radha Madhav Dham is the largest Hindu temple and ashram complex in the United States. With the Gracious blessing of
radhamadhavdham.org
Jagadguru Shree Kripaluji Maharaj (Shree Maharajji), Radha Madhav Dham was established in 1990 as the main U.S. center of Jagadguru Kripalu Parishat.

Radha Madhav Dham is situated on a picturesque 220-acre property in  the Hill Country south of Austin, Texas. The rolling land, blanketed by  wildflowers in the spring, and beautified by the meandering stream  Kalindi, rises to the highest point in Hays County at the top of Barsana  Hill. The temple and ashram buildings are surrounded by charming  gardens, walking paths, fountains and ponds. The many peacocks add a  flourish of iridescent color to the surroundings, and their calls echo  across the fields as they announce themselves to all passers-by. The  delightful landscape lends itself to leisurely walks and meditation in  its secluded holy places.

Designed as a representation of the holy land of Braj in India where Shree Radha Rani and Shree Krishna appeared about 5,000 years ago, all the important holy places of Braj  like Govardhan, Radha Kund, Prem Sarovar, Shyam Kuti and Mor Kuti are  represented in Radha Madhav Dham, where the natural stream, named  Kalindi, represents the Yamuna river of Vrindaban. Anyone who visits  Radha Madhav Dham experiences the same Divine serenity that was found in  the ancient ashrams of the Saints of Vrindaban. It has become a place  of pilgrimage for millions of devotees living in the western world.

The centerpiece of Radha Madhav Dham is Shree Raseshwari Radha Rani Temple.  This temple, with its magnificent architecture and exquisitely designed  shrine with elegantly decorated Deities of Radha and Krishna, is the  only temple in the world that represents the true nikunj darshan of Radha Krishna as described in the Radhikopnishad and the writings of  the Great Masters of Vrindaban. Sitting in such a temple, while  chanting the names of Radha Krishna during satsang, gives a thrill of bhakti that must be experienced.

Every year, over 50,000 people visit Radha Madhav Dham. We welcome them into our unique accommodations where overnight guests stay and take part in the delicious vegetarian meals. Many make use of our rental facilities for family events and private functions. Many come back again and again  to enjoy the devotional living experience that Radha Madhav Dham  provides.
