Sri Sri Radha Madhava Gianyar Bali
→ Ramai Swami

Many years ago, our function in the Gianyar region of Bali was held in Pradhyumna Prabhu’s house. A downstairs room served as the temple and we were graced with small Gaura Nitai deities. It was a remote location in the middle of crop fields and in the rainy season all of us had to hike up our dhotis to get through the mud.

By the mercy of Their Lordships, the current temple, which is nearby the original, is a sizable acreage. It has a grand temple building, asrama, guest house, plus small goshala. The devotees own houses around the temple complex. Their Lordships, Sri Sri Radha Madhava, Lalita, Visakha, and Gaura Nitai have a beautiful altar and are served enthusiastically.
