Hare Krishna!
It gives us a great pleasure to announce that a beautiful hillside property of 80 acres in the heart of Silicon Valley of California, USA, has been acquired for the future residence of Sri Sri Krishna Balaram, Sri Gaura Nitai, Sri Srinivasa Govinda, Sri Prahlada Narasimha and Srila Prabhupada.
The 80 acre hillside property is situated in the city of Milpitas and is at a comfortable and convenient distance from various corners of the bay area. The property located at 2425 Old Calaveras Road, Milpitas, CA is less than a mile from Milpitas city edge, 6 miles from Fremont and 15 miles from Cupertino. Though minutes away, the property oversees a major portion of the bay area and will provide breath taking views for the visiting devotees! The view is equivalent to being on top of a 40 to 50 story building. The property is surrounded by golf courses, scenic hills and is half a mile from Sandy Wool Lake and Ed Levin County Park.
Plans are in progress for a beautiful temple, a cultural complex, residences for devotees and a huge goshala. This will be a pride possession for Srila Prabhupada and his movement in the west. We seek all the devotees' prayers and good wishes to help us accomplish our plans.
We will keep the website updated on a regular basis about our progress.
