1. Why Building a Temple Is a Punya Kriya (Spiritual Merit)
In the Vedic scriptures and teachings of great saints, constructing or supporting the building of a temple is considered one of the highest acts of spiritual merit—punya kriya. Srila Prabhupada emphasized that building a temple for Krishna is not just charity—it is eternal service. The Agni Purana states that one who helps build a temple for Lord Vishnu attains liberation and divine blessings for generations.
As Maharaj beautifully puts it:
“Not that we want a palace in the spiritual world, but you get how important it is, or how pleasing it is to Krishna, if we make a nice temple for Their pleasure, for Their service.”
2. Why Manila Needs This Temple
For over two decades, Sri Sri Radha Madhava have resided in a rented building in Makati. While this space has served as a spiritual hub, it is no longer sufficient for the growing congregation and the Deities’ worship. The facilities are limited, and the community has long yearned for a permanent, beautiful home for Their Lordships.
The people of the Philippines—over 100 million strong—deserve a spiritual sanctuary where they can reconnect with Krishna, find peace, and grow in devotion.
3. Where the Project Stands Today
By Krishna’s mercy and the tireless efforts of devotees:
- Land (2,000 sqm) in Taguig City has been acquired—just 3 km from major airports and easily accessible from Metro Manila.
- The shell structure of the temple is already constructed.
What remains is the completion of the interiors, installation of the altar, kitchen, guest rooms, and other essential facilities.
4. What the Completed Temple Will Offer
The 4–5 storey temple complex will include:
- Temple Hall for 150–300 devotees
- Food for Life Kitchen to serve free prasadam
- Guest Rooms for visiting devotees and sanyasis
- Library, Meeting Rooms, and Sunday School
- Yoga & Wellness Center
- Prasadam Hall and Admin Offices
This will be a vibrant center for spiritual education, kirtan, prasadam distribution, and community upliftment.
