SRI-SRI RADHA-VALLABHA’S SHOP space is now bigger, and includes new sections for second-hand books and clothing.
Sarva-mangala Mataji putting out new stock
Sarva-mangala Mataji putting out new stock

We are celebrating Gaura Purnima with an end-of-summer clearance of some summer clothing at 40% off marked price (for a short period only).

Just for fun on Gaura Purnima day, the shop will run a children’s ‘KRISHNA SAND ART’ stall and a lucky dip. Please join us for the celebrations!

We also have new stocks of devotional books for children and adults, music, incense, etc. New to the shop is a beautiful range from ‘VRNDAVANA BODY CARE’ for men and women. These products are made in Queensland by initiated devotees using the finest quality organic vegetable ingredients. Come and take a look.

Still needed, to help create the new “BOOK BROWSERS’ CORNER,” is an armchair in good, clean condition. If you can donate such a chair (preferably in a plain colour) to Mahaprabhu Mandir, please contact either Sarva-mangala devi dasi (0434-827-028) or Nityananda dasa (0409-435-781).

This is an interesting article and adds support to a suggestion made by our web designer, Steve Hooker, that we put our temple shop online.

It's cheaper to run and makes more money than a physical store. At least that's what we're led to believe by reading this article.
