A temple sustained by its community.

Building a spiritually vibrant community of householders and senior Vaiṣṇavas around ISKCON New Rajapur Jagannātha Dhāma, Bengaluru.

Under the direction and guidance of HH Jayapatākā Swami, Caitanya Avatāri Dāsa has encouraged devotees to build their lives near the temple (NRJD) and take meaningful responsibility for its spiritual and practical service. This vision has grown since the temple project began in 2012.

Family life and temple service

Many householders balance work and family with regular temple service. Training and trust have enabled devotees to contribute to day-to-day operations, preaching and the organization of major festivals.

Service across generations

Outreach to householders, young people, and children helps devotional life take root across the community. Senior Vaiṣṇavas, including retired defense personnel, bring experience and dedication to temple service.

A community becomes strong when devotees support one another spiritually and share responsibility for the service of Śrī Śrī Jagannātha, Baladeva and Subhadrā Devī.
