Salutations to Shri Guruvar! Salutations to Shri Sita Rama Chandra! Salutations to Shri Radha Krishna!

Bhakti Mandir is a temple that propagates the divine message of world peace through devotion, thereby strengthening the spirit of universal brotherhood. It was built for the welfare of the world by the infinite compassion, inspiration, and incessant efforts of Bhaktiyoga-rasavatar Jagadguruttam Shri Kripalu Ji Maharaj. This divine, historic monument had the great fortune of being inaugurated by his holy hands on 17 November 2005.

The temple’s excellent craftmanship, the black granite pillars, everything appears unmatched. The beautiful form of Shri Radha Krishna on the ground floor and the wondrous beauty of Shri Sita Rama on the first floor completely immerse devotees in the ocean of divine love bliss.

Although the divinity of this majestic monument can be experienced by any visitor standing within its precincts, we can have an equally enthralling view of it by flicking through the pages of this splendid coffee table book, a pictorial tour, and a visual feast.

Opening to the first page your curiosity is piqued, making it impossible to resist turning to the next, and so on and so forth, until you reach the end, and finally, packing your bags for your next meditative journey to the abode of devotion. But wait! There is one lingering thought gathering momentum, “Come on, let’s go to the land of devotion, Bhakti Dham!”

The infinite grace of our most merciful Guruvar resulted in the astonishing beauty of Bhakti Mandir’s presentation, and so too the presentation of this sumptuous publication, entirely the result of his boundless compassion. Epitomising the temple of devotion, Bhakti Mandir, we dedicate this book to his lotus feet.

Our reverential salutations to the lotus feet of our Guru, whose foot dust, imbued with the nectar of divine love, purifies the heart.
