• Shree Raseshwari Radha Rani Temple is established in Barsana Dham whose 200 acres of scenic land represent the most important holy district of Braj.
• During the Deity Establishment Ceremony (Sharat Poornima, 1995) the Grace of Jagadguru Shree Kripaluji Maharaj was vividly observed. The guest mahatmas, devotees and visitors, whoever had the darshan of Shree Raseshwari Radha Rani, had such a devotional experience that surpassed all of their expectations. It was something so great in their life that was beyond words to explain.
• Shree Raseshwari Radha Rani Temple complex is the largest Hindu temple in the United States. It has become a place of pilgrimage for millions of devotees living in the Western world.
  

When Shree Radha Rani distributed the Bliss of maharas to Her loving Gopis, the atmosphere of the whole of Vrindaban was perfumed with the scent of the flowers of all the seasons that bloomed together to intensify the charm of the full moon night of the Sharat Poornima. The breeze was cool and fragrant, the sky was clear with some scattered clouds and the weather was pleasant. We incorporated all the feelings of these writings of the Bhagwatam in constructing Shree Raseshwari Radha Rani Temple.

• Radha Rani has hundreds of names. Raseshwari is one of Her most important names. It comes from Radhikopnishad.

Nikunj Darshan

All the loving leelas of Radha Krishn had happened in the nikunj. Nikunj is a beautiful secluded area where blossoming trees, flowering bushes, creepers and perfumed flowers grow together to create such a sheltered and shaded setting where Radha, Krishn and Gopis could sit and play and dance.

Five hundred years ago, when our acharyas established Temples of Radha Krishn, the situation was different. In those days, the places of Vrindaban, Barsana, Govardhan, etc. were fully woodlands. So, the Temple, surrounded by the woodland and the flower plants around it, gave enough inspiration to the devotees to think of nikunj leelas of Radha Krishn.

Now, with the excessive increase of population, trees have been cut down and the natural surroundings are destroyed. Thousands of Temples have been constructed in the last hundreds of years but they do not represent the true nikunj view which is an important aspect in forming a devotional imagination of Radha Krishn leelas.

Considering all these devotional aspects, and to reveal the real nikunj darshan of Radha Krishn, the Temple of Shree Raseshwari Radha Rani has been created. Thus, this is the first Temple in the world that represents the true devotional view of the nikunj leelas.

All the supreme Masters of Vrindaban and also Shree Chaitanya Mahaprabhuji revealed this Divine secret that Radha is the absolute supreme form of the Divine love, the Mahabhao, so She is the absolute supreme form of brahm Who Herself is Krishn. During maharas Radha Krishn revealed the Bliss of raas ras (the supreme Divine Bliss) to all the Gopis of Braj. Our Temple reveals all these aspects of Radha Bhao (Raseshwari Radha Rani as ‘Mahabhao,’ and Raseshwari Radha Rani as ‘Radha Krishn’). That’s why it is called Shree Raseshwari Radha Rani Temple which is the direct manifestation of the Grace of Jagadguru Shree Kripaluji Maharaj upon the souls of the world.

One thing is important to know. Wherever you go in Braj, if you have a true devotional heart, you feel a kind of Divine loving vibration everywhere in Braj. With the Grace of Maharajji Kripalu the same atmosphere is established in Barsana Dham of the U.S.A. So, the devotees who visit Barsana Dham have similar feelings as if they were actually in Braj in India.

It all happened because of Radha’s Grace. It was only Her Grace which made Braj as Braj, and the same Grace is in Barsana Dham of the U.S.A. Thus, Barsana Dham is like a part of Braj in the real sense.

Now, in Barsana Dham, we have Barsana Hill, Prem Sarovar, Radha Kund, Shyam Kuti, Govardhan, and Kalindi Pulin, where suitable constructions and scenic gardens have been created.
