Dwarka Prabhu and Chitra dearly love the community of devotees and specifically, the dedication that the devotees show to Sri Sri Radha Kalachandji.

“Why do you support TKG Academy?” When asked this question, Dwaraka Prabhu answered immediately. “It’s simple. Because this was the first Gurukula established by Srila Prabhupada. He wanted to make the Gurukula grow.
With their monthly donations, their blessings, and their continuous support in assisting other members, they are making Srila Prabhupada’s vision come to fruition.
