A beautiful week of devotion awaits at Radha Krishna Temple of Bay Area. 🌸🙏

From offering Abhishek to Bhagwan Shiv and Hanumanji, to coming together for bhajans, Sundar Kand and satsang, each day gives us another opportunity to turn the mind toward God and spend a little time in divine association.

Bring your family, invite a friend, and make the temple a part of your week. ❤️

Please note that the temple will remain closed on Thursday due to the Lunar Eclipse.

We look forward to welcoming you throughout the week.

Radhey Radhey! 🌸

🦚💙 LESS THAN 2 WEEKS TO JANMASHTAMI — BAL GOPAL IS WAITING FOR YOU! 💙🦚

Hariyali Teej Satsang Glimpses | Radha Krishna Temple of Bay Area

Before the grand celebration of Krishna Janmashtami, a little glimpse of Vrindavan came alive at our temple. 🌿🌸

On the beautiful occasion of Hariyali Teej, Shree Radha Krishna graced the Jhula, as devotees lovingly swung Their Lordships and relished Their divine Darshan. 🥰🙏

The Jhula tradition is one of the sweetest expressions of Radha Krishna Bhakti — envisioning Shree Radha and Krishna joyfully swinging amidst the beautiful groves of Braj. 🌿🦚

And now… the countdown to Janmashtami has begun! 🎉🪈

Very soon, our beloved Bal Gopal — little Kanha — will be waiting to celebrate His divine appearance with all of you. 💙

✨ Come with your family.
✨ Come with your devotion.
✨ Come celebrate Kanha’s birthday with us!

हरे कृष्ण 🦚 जय श्री राधे! 🙏

🦚💙 PREPARING OUR HEARTS FOR JANMASHTAMI 2026 💙🦚
Glimpses of Sunday Satsang | Radha Krishna Temple of Bay Area

✨ Less than 3 weeks to go for Janmashtami! ✨

As the divine appearance day of Shree Krishna draws closer, perhaps the question is not only how grandly we celebrate Him… but how lovingly we welcome Him into our hearts.

Our beloved Bal Gopal, Ladoo Gopal is coming! 🪈🦚
And what greater preparation can there be than deepening our love, remembrance, and surrender to Him?

That was the beautiful spirit of contemplation during our Sunday Satsang, as devotees reflected on these divine words:

🙏
Kṛṣṇa eva mama svāmī, Kṛṣṇa eva sakhā mama,
Kṛṣṇa eva sutaḥ preyān, Śrī Kṛṣṇaḥ śaraṇaṁ mama.

💙 Krishna alone is my Master.
💙 Krishna alone is my Friend.
💙 Krishna alone is my dearest Child.
💙 Shree Krishna alone is my Refuge.

What a beautiful expression of complete belonging to Krishna!

For the devotee, Krishna is not someone distant. He becomes our everything — the Lord whom we serve, the closest friend in whom we confide, the little Bal Gopal whom we lovingly care for, and ultimately the one divine refuge to whom we surrender our heart. 🙏

🌸 And perhaps this is the sweetest way to prepare for Janmashtami:

“Krishna, this Janmashtami, let me not merely celebrate Your appearance…
Let me make my heart a place where You would love to appear.”

The countdown has begun.
The anticipation is growing.
Let us prepare to welcome our beloved Kanha with all our heart! 🪈✨
