Jagadguru Shri Kripalu Ji Maharaj
Prem Mandir
THE TEMPLE OF DIVINE LOVE
Prem Mandir is a Hindu temple in Shri Vrindavan Dham, Uttar Pradesh, India, which was established and inaugurated by Jagadguru Shri Kripalu Ji Maharaj in February 2012.
This unique temple of Shri Radha Krishna and Shri Sita Rama in Vrindavan represents a renaissance in ancient Indian art and architecture. Prem Mandir houses several idols:
- Shri Radha Krishna
- Shri Sita Ram
- Depictions of the Jagadgurus and Rasik Saints
- Leelas (devotional pastimes) of Baby Krishna, and more.
The descension of divine love and bliss, Jagadguru Shri Kripalu Ji Maharaj dedicated this gift of divine love to Shri Vrindavan Dham. A perennial stream of divine love will flow for ages to come through this unique monument. It is a commemoration of Madhurya Bhav, the feeling of devotion where God is seen as your beloved.
This unique historic temple has considerably enhanced the glory of Vrindavan. A visit to this sacred town is incomplete without a visit to the temple of divine love.
It took about 12 years and one thousand skilled artists to give Prem Mandir its special shape and design. On one hand, artisans used chisels and hammers to engrave special inlays, and on the other, computerised robotic machines were giving shape to those stones replicating the leelas of Shri Radha Krishna. Such specialised machinery has rarely been used anywhere in India before.
195,000 square feet
This unique monument is spread across a sprawling area of approximately 195,000 square feet.
94 Pillars
The 94 pillars with beautifully engraved images seem to continuously glorify divine love and bhakti.
84 exterior panels
Total exterior panels that display the loving pastimes of Shri Krishna as depicted in the Shrimad Bhagavatam.
Italian marble
Prem Mandir is the only temple in the world which is entirely constructed using pure white solid Carrara Italian marble.
This temple has become the modern epicentre of Vrindavan, in the holy land of Braj, where Shri Radha Krishna descended about 5,000 years ago and performed divine leelas (pastimes).
Millions of people from all over the world visit this architectural marvel every month to see its beauty first-hand:
- The breathtaking sight of Shri Radha Krishna and Shri Sita Ram evoke the feelings of pure devotion and bliss in the hearts of the devotees.
- 84 panels carved on the outer walls of the temple depict the loving pastimes of Shri Radha Krishna.
- Inside the temple are representations of the Jagadgurus, Rasik saints, Ashtamahasakhis, as well as various leelas of Shri Radha Krishna
- All the idols are enhanced by wall engravings of the soul-stirring pad sankirtans (devotional poetic compositions) of Jagadguru Shri Kripalu Ji Maharaj.
Surrounded by beautiful gardens and fountains, the 55-acre temple premises has life-sized depictions of four leelas of Shri Krishna – Jhulan leela, Govardhan leela, Raas leela and Kaliya Naag leela, which naturally fill the hearts of seekers with devotion.
