By Lila-sakti Devi Dasi,
On November 30th, 2025, the ISKCON New Goloka community in Hillsborough, North Carolina, joyfully gathered at the site of our new temple foundation to mark a significant milestone in the ongoing expansion of our sacred space. The moment reflected our commitment to better serve our loving congregation, to welcome all sincere spiritual seekers, and to expand our outreach operations in the mood, mission, and service of His Divine Grace A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Srila Prabhupada. Kurmadeva and Ananta Sesa were lavishly worshipped and invited to reside in the new temple foundation, supporting the throne of our presiding deities of New Goloka Dham, Sri-Sri Radha Golokananda.
Strategically located in a North Carolina suburb, at the intersection of the Triad and the Triangle, New Goloka Dham has witnessed tremendous population growth in the last 15-20 years. Humble beginnings in the early 1980s established the powerful presence of the first Radha-Krishna temple in North Carolina, and from there, the temple and community have grown through friendly, tireless, and patient cultivation.
More recently, the post-COVID pandemic brought out the need to connect (or reconnect) with what is most important in life, creating the impetus within our growing community to reach out and share the valuable gem of Krishna consciousness with others. Conversely, many sincere souls are reaching in and are finding their way to New Goloka Dham to immerse themselves in Bhakti through chanting, hearing, and feasting. Our aim now is to increase capacity, efficiency, and safety, and, most importantly, invite everyone to chant, dance, and be happy.
