The day after Gaura Purnima, Thursday 24th March, ISKCON-London’s Radha-Krishna Temple, Govinda’s Restaurant and Radha’s Boutique will be closed to the public for at least three weeks while we undergo major refurbishment to all public areas.<\/p>\n

Our hope is that we will be re-opened in time for Ramanavami Festival on the 15th April latest.<\/p>\n

Please note that although closed in general to the public, some programmes such as courses, harinamas, and mentorship meetings may still take place. Please check with representatives in those areas for confirmation.<\/p>\n

\n“Beautifying Krishna’s Temple”: Project update<\/p>\n

Hare Krishna,<\/p>\n

We are delighted to let you know that to coincide with and celebrate the 50th Anniversary of ISKCON, we are engaged in an exciting project of renewing and refurbishing Sri Sri Radha-Londonisvara\u2019s home and your temple. <\/p>\n

At present, in the first phase of the project, we are in the process of an entire refurbish of the pujari area. From ceilings, to floors, to cookers and jewellery cupboards, the Pujari Department will be reincarnated like never before. This is a follow-up of the successful renewing of the altar in 2010. The Pujari Department has up to 80 devotees per week who come to render service and therefore we are working towards a high grade of finish that will last for many years to come. <\/p>\n

Phase 2 of the refurbishment will commence the day after Gaura Purnima on the 24th of March on the public areas such as the Temple Room and Govinda\u2019s Restaurant. Due to concerns with the Temple Room floor, we will be removing it and examining for any structural issues. We will then be laying a new floor, underfloor heating as well as redecorating the Temple Room. Also our other public areas such as the Reception, Radha’s Boutique and outside the Temple Room will be upgraded and redecorated. At Govinda’s, we will have major work done such as replacing the floor, forming a new stair well, moving the serving counter and other developments. <\/p>\n

For this second phase, due to the extensive scope of the work, we are obliged to close the Temple for approximately three weeks. We apologise for this and beg your patience and prayers that we can complete the works on time. We know you will all be heart-broken to not be able to come and have Their Lordships darshan so we need your prayers to ensure we meet our deadlines. <\/p>\n

On top of all that, we are also refurbishing our ashrams which includes putting in new sound proof windows, doing necessary works in the bathrooms, new furnishings etc. Exciting times!<\/p>\n
