Vrindavana Chandrodaya Mandir will not only house a temple for the worship of Lord Sri Krishna, but will also become a center for disseminating the profound message of the Bhagavad-gita and Srimad-Bhagavatam, delivered in a modern context for the highest benefit of the people. Lord Sri Krishna, through His timeless message in the Bhagavad-gita, and His endearing pastimes in the Srimad-Bhagavatam has shaped the intellectual, cultural and religious mindscape of India for millennia. It is humanly impossible to fully comprehend and estimate the contributions of Lord Sri Krishna to mankind. It is an attempt to acknowledge and celebrate His divine blessings to this world and it is the aspiration of the devotees to create a world-class iconic monument for Sri Krishna in the holy land of Vrindavana and proudly place Krishna on the world mindscape and Vrindavana on the world map as one of India’s spiritual capitals.

Srila Prabhupada, in a lecture in Bombay said that constructing a nice skyscraper temple for Krishna is also a Krishna conscious vision. “This is Krishna conscious vision. ‘Oh, there are so many skyscrapers. Why not construct a nice skyscraper temple of Krishna?’ That is Krishna consciousness.” In another lecture, Srila Prabhupada explained how our tendencies can be utilized for Krishna in order to purify our material activities.

The temple complex will comprise Vrindavana Chandrodaya Mandir, Krishna Lila Park, Krishna Heritage Museum, Krishna Vaas and Krishna Kutir Retreats. The project will also have many more attractive features. A capsule elevator will take the visitors through the planetary systems to the viewing gallery at the top of the structure where one can have a breathtaking Braj Mandal Darshan. The twelve verdant forests of Vrindavana (dva-dasha kanana) replete with elegant vistas of flower and fruit bearing trees, serenaded with bird songs are recreated exactly as described in the source books of Krishna. There will be a meandering and gurgling Yamuna creek punctuated with lotus-filled ponds that transport one to the world and times of Sri Krishna. The important places of Sri Krishna’s pastimes in Braj will be portrayed in an entertaining manner for the whole family.

Each of the side Domes Kalash frames are layered in 3 sections. On Sunday September 25, 2016 we installed the topmost section (Layer 3) of the Kalash frame onto the Planetarium Wing Dome. The stainless steel section was lifted with a crane to the top of the Dome.

Next, we will lift and install the topmost section (Layer 3) of the Kalash Frame onto Lord Nrsimhadeva’s Dome. Then Yurii and other TOVP engineers will personally climb into the Kalash frames to measure the dimensions. From those measurements they will perfect and finalize the dimensions that will be required to construct the titanium nitrate coverings in Moscow.

After the measurements are finalized here in Mayapur, the engineers in Moscow then may begin the official construction of the Kalash outer shell coverings. We are now moving full speed into this wonderful construction project.

Our beloved Lord Sri Krishna gives His devotees many opportunities to serve Him, sometimes services come in the form of challenges and this is the special mercy of our sweet Lord. After having our temple for 21 years in Wachenheimerstrasse 1 in Munich, we have received a notice from the owner of the house to move out within the next 6 months. To shift the home of Sri Sri Gaura Nitai with all the paraphernalia and belongings will be a challenging project. There is a great need for immediate visions, plans, financial support, manpower etc. With this need for your support and contributions, we are turning to you with this call out. We are grateful to the Lord for showering His mercy on us in the form of these challenges, which brings us even closer and empowers us to travel ahead together for our spiritual advancement. So by any chance, if you are able to give us any support in any possible manner, whether by giving us some ideas, financial support or manpower support, it will be highly appreciated. Please get in contact with our temple management by the following e-mail address or by the following phone number.

REPORT SOUGHT ON "JAGANNATHA TEMPLE" OF ISKCON IN PURI
Bhubaneswar:
Bhubaneswar:
"I have directed the district collector of Puri who is also the vice-chairman of the PKDA to examine whether the International Society For Krishna Consciousness (ISKCON) is allowed to construct a huge Jagannath Temple at Puri. The collector will submit a report in this regard soon," Housing and Urban Development Minister Pushpendra Singhdeo said.

The state government's action came in response to a statewide outcry over the alleged bid of the ISKCON to build the second Jagannath Temple at Puri. The matter came into limelight after senior BJP leader Bijoy Mohapatra alleged that ISKCON had been allowed to construct a huge Jagannath temple, just 2 km away from the ancient Sri Jagannath temple in Puri.
