New Dwaraka is the North American ISKCON Headquarters and home to Sri Sri Rukmini Dwarakadisha. It is also one of the original temples opened during Srila Prabhupada’s presence and the place of many of his pastimes, including the famous morning walks along Venice Beach.
Under the able leadership of Svavas prabhu, who is also the BBT Manager, it continues to be a thriving community of hundreds of devotees. We arrived on the afternoon of Thursday, April 30 after a short flight from San Jose and spent the remainder of the day as well as Friday catching up on office work and preparing for a big weekend during the Nrsimha Caturdasi Festival.
