For the benefit of those skeptical minds that complain of such a Vedic approach to marriages as too idealistic and impractical, we bring to spotlight a closely knit and successful community of Krishna devotees in Mumbai, India. This community was envisioned by Radhanath Swami back in 1986 when he began the Radha Gopinath Temple project in the heart of this metropolis.
Radhanath Swami gave impetus to this idea (of a community) by way of family or marriage counseling. To enable this, over a period of many years, Radhanath Swami personally trained his senior disciples who later took the role of grihasta (family) counselors. Today, twenty-five years later, a strong and vibrant community of grihastas (families) of Radha Gopinath Temple speak volumes of Radhanath Swami’s vision and his guiding principles of successful married life.
