Welcome, Aspiring Sevaks

At Sri Sri Radha Damodara Mandir, every moment is a celebration of devotional service. Whether we garland Their Lordships with fresh blossoms, prepare sanctified prasadam, or greet guests with a warm smile, each act of seva draws us closer to Krishna and deepens the spirit of community that makes our temple a sacred home.

Voices of Seva

“I arrived hoping to lend a hand in the kitchen and found a family that chants, laughs, and serves together. Every spoon I wash feels like washing my own heart.”
— Meera, Sunday Feast volunteer

“Decorating the Jhulan swing for Radha-Krishna turns simple flowers into garlands of love. The joy lingers long after the petals fade.”
— Arjun, Festival décor team
