Vrindavan, 2016.12.18 (VT): The ‘Seva Mahotsava’ at Radha Raman Mandir concludes amidst the cultural beats. It was boundless joy, and ecstatic moments for the devotees during the ‘festivity’, as they relished the taste of unceasing devotional services.
The Eternal Service of Radha Raman and the daily activities of the temple, during the eight periods of the day, were performed under the direction of His Holiness Acharya Shivatsa Goswami ji Maharaj.

, Kirtan by the Vaishnavas, discourse by the Acharyas, and the decoration of the temple, each moment were celebrated by the devotees.
