Greetings Earthlings!

The Vrinda Institute for the studies of the Vaishnava Culture, better known as Casa Vrinda has branch offices in several countries around the world, its creator Srila Bhakti Aloka Paramadvaiti Swami Maharaj is a german writter and teacher, who dedicates his life to travel constantly through all the preching centers promoting ecological, social and cultural movements.

This way offering great help in these times of crisis in Venezuela, where venezuelans can find a little of peace and learn how to deal with everyday problems, teaching us how to create our own crops with the "Conscious World Pact" movement with free talks and workshops, They also give us the necessary tools to face our doubts and insecurities by offering us a place to meditate and connect with ourselves.

In November of 2014, Prabhu Thakur Das aarrived in Venezuela with a group of preachers, after 3 years of collecting money selling books in many Spanish-speaking countries with the mission of finding a place to install a meditation center, a temple in Venezuela.

At last they found a perfect place, a colonial house that had served as a university and as a refuge for people left homeless after a rainy season where many families were left homeless, the house was in a catastrophic state, totally destroyed on the inside and with plagues of all kinds, Although it seemed impossible Prabhu Thakur and his group began with the reconstruction and after 3 more years of collecting and hard work building, removing debris, designing, painting, giving yoga classes in strange and unattractive places, the deities decided to arrive at the right moment when we were about to start building what is now the temple of Caracas Casa Vrinda temple, which brought the best devotees artists to recreate a space of Vrindavan, which in the scriptures is described as a spiritual and beautiful place.

Such efforts paid off and we were rewarded with the results, Gurudeva Paramadvaiti Swami Maharaj came that specific week to prepare the deities for worship, with beautiful ceremonies, food and chants, the deities Sri Sri Gauranga Radha Vinoda were installed on August 6, year 2017
