Who We Are
Sri Sri Krishna Rukmini Thirukovil – HKM Goa
The Sri Sri Krishna Rukmini Thirukovil at HKM Goa is a sacred abode of devotion, where Their Lordships Sri Krishna, the Supreme Personality of Godhead, and Srimati Rukmini Devi, His eternal consort and the goddess of fortune, are lovingly worshipped according to the ancient Vaishnava tradition. The temple provides a serene and spiritually uplifting atmosphere for devotees and visitors to engage in prayer, kirtan, and meditation.
Lord Krishna, the source of all incarnations, is renowned for His transcendental pastimes, while Rukmini Devi exemplifies pure devotion, unwavering faith, and divine service. Together, They bestow Their mercy upon all who seek Their shelter with sincerity and devotion.
The temple stands as a beacon of Vedic culture and spiritual wisdom, offering daily deity worship, melodious congregational chanting (Harinama Sankirtana), scriptural discourses, and the distribution of sanctified prasadam. Every festival celebrated here, especially Janmashtami, Vaikuntha Ekadashi, Ashada Ekadashi, Rukmini Dwadashi, and other Vaishnava festivals, fills the temple with vibrant devotion and joyous celebrations.
Visitors to the Sri Sri Krishna Rukmini Thirukovil experience not only the divine beauty of the Deities but also an opportunity to deepen their spiritual understanding through the timeless teachings of the Bhagavad-gita and Srimad Bhagavatam, as presented by His Divine Grace A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada, Founder-Acharya of ISKCON.
The temple warmly welcomes everyone to seek the blessings of Sri Sri Krishna Rukmini, participate in devotional activities, and experience the peace, joy, and spiritual fulfillment that come from devotional service to the Supreme Lord.
