Annadanam merely satiates hunger; education affords sustenance and support to an individual throughout his life. Thus, these two deeds have only temporal use. But temples - the above of the Lord - kindle love of God in an individual and help attain His Lotus Feet. Building of temples, therefore, is supreme of all deeds.

All His creations are constantly pre-occupied with the pursuit of happiness. The Lord, out of love for His Creations, descends from Vaikuntam, resides in temples and leads us along the path to salvation, over-looking frailties.

Vrindaban is superior to Kailasa (the abode of Lord Shiva) in that Lord Shiva, enchanted by the indescribable beauty of Sri Krishna, has manifested Himself as Gopeswara here; superior to Brahmaloka (the abode of Brahma) as it was here that Brahma was humbled by Sri Krishna; superior to Indra Loka (the abode of Indra) because Vrindaban witnessed Indra's surrender to Sri Krishna and his conferment of the divine title of Govinda on Sri Krishna. In fact with the descent of Lord Vishnu's consort as Radha Dev i, Vrindaban is more sanctified than Srivaikuntam.

Krishna Consciousness is manifest in its boundless glory in all objects, animate and inanimate, in Vrindaban. Sri Krishna enacts His divine sports and leelas even now in Vrindanan - a holy place beyond compare.

Being Radha Devi's "Antahpuram" (private quarters), none can set foot in Vrindaban without her benign grace. No spiritual pursuit is necessary or required in Vrindaban to attain darshan of Sri Krishna, just as the serpent king Kaliyan had darshan of Sri Krishna by his mere stay there.

In this holy town of Vrindaban, Guruji Sri Muralidhara Swamigal proposes to dedicate a temple to Lord DRishna and Radha Devi. This temple will be in accordance with South Indian tradition and culture.

We appeal to all religious and philanthropic minded persons to contribute liberally towards this holy and worthy cause and be the recipient of the infinite grace of Guruji Sri Muralidhara Swamigal and Sri Krishna. Every donor shall certainly secure a nicne for himself in Sri Golokam through Sri Krishna's Grace.

Radhe Krishna
