Shelter for Souls - Riga, Latvia

General information

We are here united in order to put in practise Radhanath Swami’s flowing words – “We should have the spirit that we want to give each person that is coming to our temple or our movement maximum attention, care and spiritual training on every level so that the devotee is always happy and never wants to leave the lotus feet of Srila Prabhupada.”

As guided by Senior Vaishnavas, now we are focusing on setting up and developing initial core team for cultivating Vaishnava Extended Family in Latvia (part of European Union).
