The current temple was built in 1979 by the hands of the New Talavana devotees, with renovations made in 1987.
In 2021, we received a generous donation to begin building a new temple. Please visit our New Temple page for more details.
New Talavana’s temple is presided over by our most merciful, gracious, and beautiful Lordships, Sri Sri Radha-Radhakanta and Sri Sri Gaura-Nitai.
TEMPLE DEITIES:
Sri Sri Gaura Nitai (Lord Caitanya on the right, Lord Nityananda on the left)
Sri Sri Radha-Radhakanta (Radha on right, Krishna on left)
The daily deity worship is performed according to the standards outlined in the Vedic scriptures. This worship of the Lord in His deity form (archa vigraha) is a deep and amazing science that must be experienced to be fully appreciated.
There is a common misconception that this type of worship is polytheistic. Actually, our teachings are more accurately labeled as polymorphic monotheism – there is one supreme Personality of Godhead who simultaneously has many different forms and names. Sri Sri Radha-Radhakanta (Radha-Krishna) is the Lord’s topmost form as the Divine Couple.
