The Sri Sri Radha Radhanatha Temple of Understanding, which is located in the heart of Chatsworth, has been serving the community for the past 30 years. This center is tirelessly endeavoring to strengthen the ethical and spiritual fabric of society through various spiritual and educational programs. Your generous donations go towards supporting our temple and festivals. Why give?
A devotee offers everything to Krishna – his words, his actions, and his thoughts. To give something to Krishna is an extremely personal and elevated activity. Ultimately we want to offer Lord Krishna our love. When we love, we offer our thoughts, words and deeds, our time, energy and wealth. It is stated in the Bhagavad-Gita that when we give something to Krishna, He will reciprocate in several ways. Therefore by giving, we are actually receiving for our spiritual and material benefit. What to give?
Whatever you desire – your time and service or financial contribution. All are equally important and will make a difference to the temple. How to give? Making a donation of any amount is valuable to the temple. It strengthens the framework of serving the community, in order to facilitate the many projects that run simultaneously. Festival Sponsorship “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.” (Srimad Bhagavatam 11.27.51) Festivals are an important time when we celebrate auspicious days to connect and receive blessings from Sri Radha and Sri Krsna. It is also a time when devotees come together in a festive spirit to remember the glories of Lord Krishna. We invite you to participate in these festivals by attending services at the temple, sponsor a particular event or part thereof. You are welcome to sponsor an offering on your family name or that of a loved one. Please see sponsorship opportunities below. Please contact the temple to enquire further. You are welcome to sponsor the entire offering or part thereof.
