A Message from Vasudeva Dasa:
Please accept my humble obeisances. All glories to Srila Prabhupada.
On May 15th, 2008, I was appointed by the local GBC representative, Badrinarayan dasa (ISKCON Governing Commissioner), and the Sri Sri Radha Govinda Temple Board as Temple President for ISKCON Denver.
I'm replacing His Grace Naikatma Prabhu, who, along with his wife Jagajannani dasi, moved to Los Angeles, California to be near their daughter.
Naikatma Prabhu and his wife Jagajannani dasi did a wonderful service at ISKCON Denver...

Dear Devotees and Friends of Sri Sri Radha Govinda Temple:
Please accept my humble obeisances and respects. All glories to His Divine Grace A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Srila Prabhupada, the founder Acarya of the International Society for Krishna Consciousness (ISKCON).
This year Lord Sri Krishna's Janmashtami falls on Sunday, August 24th. We hope you and your family will be able to join us on this auspicious and transcendental celebration. I very much look forward to seeing all of you on that day.
This year's festivities will begin at 5:00 pm with an Arati and a swing ceremony where all of you can swing Sri Sri Radha Govinda. This will be followed by a play, the Maha Kalash Abhishek, and cultural programs afterwards. The festival culminates with the midnight Maha Arati of Sri Sri Radha Govinda. There will be chanting of the Hare Krishna Maha Mantra throughout the festival, nice music, kirtan, and of course delicious Krishna prasadam...
