Temple History
In September 1965, His Divine Grace A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada left the shores of India to fulfill the prophesy made five hundred years ago by Lord Chaitanya that His name will be chanted in every town & village of the world. In this Kali-Yuga, the centers of Krishna Consciousness are like ocean in the desert. One such oasis of spiritual shelter is the Shri Shri Krishna Balaram Mandir. Srila Prabhupada has delivered Sri Sri Radha Govindaji to the whole world. It was his expressed desire to have a very beautiful KRISHNA BALRAM Temple in Jaipur.
“So I want to open a duplicate Krishna Balarama temple in Jaipur. I am sending separate copies of pictures of our Krishna Balarama Temple in Vrindaban. Of course, there is also Radha Krishna and Gaura Nitai. I wish That You have some land in Jaipur and help us in constructing a temple like in Vrindavan…”
Srila Prabhupada Wrote on July 13, 1975
Hare Krishna Movement, Jaipur has tried to fulfil this transcendental dream of our spiritual master Srila Prabhupada. The temple construction was started in Dec 2010, and it was inaugurated on 28th April 2012.
