New Delhi

A good place to stay in Delhi is our Sri Raman Vihari Gaudiya Math, where you can rest after your flight and get your bearings. The temple is located about 35 minutes by car from the airport and is only 10 minutes by bicycle rickshaw from the metro station. A taxi should cost you no more than Rs 300. The devotees at the Matha are very hospitable and the rooms very neat and clean. There you will get pure vegetarian prasadam meals and a beautiful darsana of Sri Sri Radha-Raman Vihariji.

There are many hotels in Delhi. Many devotees like to stay in Paharganj, which is located in Central New Delhi and near the train station. Paharganj is popular with Western tourists. For more info you can google ‘Hotels in New Delhi Paharganj’ and you’ll get a whole list of hotels in that area.

The metro in Delhi is very modern, clean and has AC. It brings you to the most important places in Delhi in no time and for very low cost. By taking it, you will be spared pollution and traffic jams.

Vrindavan

In Vrindavan, the devotees mainly stay in dharmasalas, (simple accommodation for pilgrims) near the Rupa Sanatana Matha in Seva Kunja, which is the heart of Vrindavan. There are a few hotels in this area. They are about a 15 minute rickshaw drive from Seva Kunja. Most hotels are near ISKCON. We have listed a few hotels for you to choose from.

During Kartika, if you would like to book a room in a home belonging to a local resident, or a room in a simple guest house near Gopinath Bhavan, then you can contact Mani-mati dasi at This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it for assistance.

During the Kartika festival we have arranged dharmasalas (simple lodgings for pilgrims) near Gopinath Bhavan and Sri Giridhari Gaudiya Math, where you can set up your sleeping mat and mosquito net in a room with other devotees. At the Math at Govardhan there is also facility for tents.

Sri Sri Rupa Sanatan Gaudiya Math

Our Sri Sri Rupa Sanatan Gaudiya Math is Seva Kunja, near Imli-tala. You can rent a simple room there outside Kartika season, have darsana of Sri Sri Radha Vinode Bihariji, and honor the delicious prasadam. You can also attend the temple programs, consisting of aratikas, lectures and kirtanas.

Tell the driver to go to the Parikrama Marg and to stop just before Imli-tala. From there you can take the back lane to the temple, which is only 2 minutes walk. The Seva Kunja area is monkey-central, and they love to steal spectacles, so it is best to remove your glasses before getting out of the car. Temple manager: Rasananda dasa Tel: 0565-2443270

Sri Gopinath Bhavan

Gopinath Bhavan is on the Parikrama Marg (road), which is next to Imli-tala. Gopinath Bhavan is large and beautifully carved out of red stone, so it is not easy to miss. From the entrance way one can see the beautiful altar and the deities, Sri Sri Radha-Gopinatha. You can attend the temple’s aratikas, lectures and kirtanas. Prasadam meals are available for a donation.

The prices of the rooms, which are equipped with attached bath room, a kitchen and hot water, vary from Rs. 300 for a single room to Rs. 550 for a double room, per day. Some rooms have AC. During the festival in Kartika no rooms are available. Manager: Tungavidya dasi, Mob: +91 96.3456.3739 / E-mail: This e-mail address is being protected from spambots.
