About Barsana Dham
Experiences of Visitors
“It is so uplifting just to be here at the ashram. Everything here is charged with spiritual energy, and every time I come I receive blessings beyond anything I could have imagined.”
—A guest from Dallas
“Barsana Dham is a whole new world which is sheltered by love, affection, and purity. I am blessed to have had a chance to meet Shree Swamiji and the devotees. Barsana Dham is bliss. I count myself amongst those few lucky ones who have had the chance to experience the divineness of this divine place. I would love to take the opportunity to thank everyone for their extreme consideration. It was a whole new joy which shall linger in my mind for the rest of my life. Once again, I thank you.”

—A guest from Los Angeles
“Spectacular location and beautiful natural surroundings with the call of peacocks makes Barsana Dham look like the real Vrindaban.”
—A guest from Gujarat, India
“When I met Shree Swamiji for the first time, it was the opening of a new and special chapter in my life. By the Grace of Krishn I was able to come to Barsana Dham. I came with nothing and I am going with bags and heart filled with memories and spiritual experiences. In this place I can sincerely feel Krishn’s presence everywhere. This ashram is a separate world in itself. This experience has definitely made my devotional feelings for Radha Krishn stronger.”
—A devotee from San Diego, California
“We knew about this place from friends but did not know its wonderful location. There cannot be a more peaceful and tranquil retreat to pray to Lord Krishn and Radhey Rani than Barsana Dham. This is truly Barsana of India. This is our first visit to the ashram, and although we have been to other Hindu temples, the children loved Barsana Dham so much that they want to come back again. When children like this place, that itself describes the greatness of this wonderful Dham. Many thanks to Shree Swamiji and the devotees. We look forward to visiting the ashram and Temple again.”
—A guest from Corpus Christi, Texas
“For me, Barsana Dham is a place full of the blessings of Lord Krishn and Shree Radha Rani. I feel that I am with Them at this place. Perhaps it’s a miracle that I am in Austin and inspired to be in Barsana Dham. Shree Swamiji is very affectionate, scholarly, and one of the greatest spiritual leaders I ever met. He explains the most difficult philosophy of devotion in a very simple way, using examples. His speeches convinced me of the presence of Lord Krishn and Shree Radha Rani everywhere. The atmosphere of the Barsana Dham ashram is full of spiritualism and devotional wonders. Radhey, Radhey.”
—A devotee from Austin, Texas
“A wonderful retreat for prayer and meditation. Radha Rani really dwells here in this ashram.”
—A guest from New Jersey
“To our beloved Swamiji, we thank you for this ‘heaven’ on earth which you have created for our benefit. We love and long to come to Barsana Dham whenever we thirst for spirituality. We love to meditate and participate in the satsangs in the Temple.”
—A devotee family from San Marcos, Texas
“Living in the ashram at Barsana Dham is the greatest experience I have had in my life. I feel contented and very happy as if I have found what I have been looking for since eternity. I feel a deep affinity for Radha Krishn and I know that They have Graced me to be able to live here in this Divine abode on earth. Barsana Dham is everything anyone could wish for. It is very peaceful and quiet. I can look out my window and see the Temple and think that I can walk across the street and see Radha Rani in Her Divine form. I am sincerely grateful for these devotional gifts which I have received.”
—A young devotee from Barsana Dham
“I feel like Barsana Dham has pulled me towards itself. After coming here I feel quite devotionally elevated. Shree Swamiji’s knowledge has answered many of my questions. Whenever I have time in the future, I would like to come to Guruji’s charan. During our stay, I had a very peaceful night’s sleep in the ashram—my first after a long time.”
—A guest from Chicago, Illinois
“Our family feels highly blessed to have a unique teaching institution like Barsana Dham in Austin, Texas. The devotees are so dedicated that they selflessly serve the community and temple with a wonderful smile at all times. We feel privileged to have a great Saint like H.D. Swami Prakashanandji Maharaj, not only to help us, but also the next generation to come, to realize peace and salvation from this materialistic world. Jai Shree Radhey, Jai Shree Swamiji.”
