Sri Sri Radha-Parisisvara move to Their New Home


The New Home for Sri Sri Radha-Parisisvara


A view from Avenue de la Divison Leclerc

Sri Sri Radha-Parisisvara moved to Their New Home on 01 August, 2009. It is located in Sarcelles, a multi-ethnic and multi-religious suburb on the northern outskirts of Paris and near the famous Charles de Gaulle International airport. The Deities were installed in 1973 by His Divine Grace A.C.Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada.

"These Deities are the only Deities in Europe that were installed by Srila Prabhupada Who have been living in rented accommodations for two decades," said Nitai Gaurasundara Dasa, temple president. "Now They have a permanent home."

Their new home (20 meters from the first property purchased a year ago) is literally a mansion. It sits in the midst of a beautiful garden of 1500 square meters.

Krishna speaking to Udhava
S.B 11.27.50
“The devotee should more fully establish My Deity by solidly constructing a temple, along with beautiful gardens. These gardens should be set aside to provide flowers for the regular daily worship, special Deity processions and holiday observances"

S.B 11.27.51
“One who offers the Deity gifts of land, markets, cities and villages so that the regular daily worship and special festivals of the Deity may go on continually will achieve opulence equal to My own.”

S.B 11.27.52
“By installing the Deity of the Lord one becomes king of the entire earth, by building a temple for the Lord one becomes ruler of the three worlds, by worshipping and serving the Deity one goes to the planet of Brahma and by performing all three of these activities, one achieves a transcendental form like My own.”
