Sri Sri Radha Giridhari temple, Auckland, New Zealand
was inaugurated in January 2004. This beautiful temple is situated
in Kumeu amidst rolling farmlands, hills and a river and boasts of
some of the most beautiful paintings of Lord Krishna’s lilas
(pastimes) on its ceiling panels.
In the last two years, the temple has played host to numerous
festivals for visiting and resident devotees.
Currently, the
temple has a large mortgage and most of the cash donation goes
towards monthly interest repayments. We humbly request
devotees in New Zealand and overseas to help “ Make Sri
Sri Radha Giridhari temple mortgage
free”.
How you can help
The temple has decided to put up a beautiful painting
of Sri Krishna on one of the temple walls measuring 4 metres 17 cm x
2 metres 82 cm. The painting can be viewed here.
We humbly request the most generous devotees across
the world to sponsor this painting by donating a minimum of
NZD 100.00 each to help create the only
"1-million dollar Krishna painting" in the world.
As soon as the donations totals NZD
100,000 artist Dina Bandhu Dasa will commence the painting
work. Pictures of the work in progress will be posted here.
The names of the donors are listed on our
website.
Participate in this once in a lifetime event
of the "1 million dollar Krishna painting"
fundraising and receive the unlimited mercy of the Supreme Lord and
His Eternal Associates.
"One who helps in the building
of the temple of the Lord or gives money, grain, goods etc, as
charity for the daily expenditure, he achieves sayuja liberation of
Vishnu. The merit achieved by thousands of sacrifices, donations,
religious observances, pious activities cannot surpass such services
to the Lord". |
