The beautiful Gopinath Gaudiya Math was established in Vrindavan in 1995 by our beloved Param Gurudev, His Divine Grace Srila Bhakti Promode Puri Goswami Maharaj at the humble request of his disciples.

The temple is located in Vrindavan town, 140 km from the city of New Delhi. The name of the temple is Purana Dauji Mandir, which means Old Dauji temple. The temple is a historic building erected by a Royal family of West Bengal 180 years ago. The building was constructed with ornately carved red stone. There is a beautiful courtyard garden in the middle of the temple area. Beautiful Tulsi plants and jasmine trees grow there along with other flowers that are offered to the Dieties. Books on transcendental topics can be purchased or borrowed from the Book Stall.

The local climate is dry. It is mild, warm weather during the spring and autumn with extreme heat in the summer and cold in the winter. During winter months (December and January) it is very damp, foggy and cold.

The Deities in this temple also have a long and very special history. On the left altar is Sri Sri Gaura Nityananda Prabhu. These deities were installed by Virabhadra Prabhu (the son of Nityananda Prabhu). In the middle is Sri Dauji who is 180 years old, as old as the temple. On the right side is Sri Sri Radha Govinda. They originally belonged to Tappan Mishra, the father of Raghunath Bhatta Goswami (one of the six Goswamis). Mahaprabhu and also Sanatan Goswami visited Sri Sri Radha Govinda in Tappan Mishra’s house in Kashi (Varanasi). Originally, these Dieties were there, but in 2001, by the mercy of His Divine Grace Srila Bhakti Pramode Puri Goswami Maharaj, Tapan Mishra’s family members where inspired to transfer the service of these Dieties to Gopinath Gaudiya Math.
