The temple is not only home to the Deities of Radha-Londonisvara but is also an ashram for the brahmacaris and brahmacarinis. These are the men and women who manage the temple, look after the Deities, prepare offerings for the Lord and perform numerous other services throughout the day and through their lives. They can also be found out and about in London distributing Srila Prabhupada´s books, and chanting the Holy Name through the streets on Harinama Sankirtana.
In short, the brahmacaris are incredible beings who have dedicated their lives to the service of Krishna and ISKCON London. They are enthusiastic enough to answer any questions that you might have and guide you through your Radha-Krishna Temple experience.
