[4][5][6] Radha Madhav Dham is a nonprofit, religious, educational, and charitable organization that follows the path of raganuga bhakti.
In April 2011, following the escape and disappearance of its founder Prakashanand Saraswati after his conviction on 20 charges of sexual indecency with a child at Barsana Dham, the organization changed its name.
[20][21][22] In 2012, on the one-year anniversary of the trial, Radha Madhav Dham spokeswoman Vrinda Devi stated, "What we've been trying to do since then is moving forward... As far as [Saraswati's] presence, we've subdued that in order to go on and survive as a minority religious community.
[2] The main prayer hall of the Shree Raseshwari Radha Rani Temple is decorated with the pictorial representations of teachings from ancient Hindu scriptures, which are captioned in both Sanskrit and English.
[27] A peach orchard, gardens of roses, jasmine and marigolds and wandering peacocks decorate the temple grounds.
[4] Radha Madhav Dham also conducts tours for schools, other educational institutions and community groups.
[41] Radha Madhav Dham also organizes free family camps and "Basics of Hinduism" courses[42] in Hindu temples in Dallas, Houston, Washington, D.C., and New York.
[43] Each fall, the Texas Yoga Retreat, organized by Charles MacInerney and Ellen Smith is held at the ashram.
[45] Radha Madhav Dham opened its doors to Hurricane Katrina evacuees, and executed a fundraising drive in its wake.
[47] In the same month, hundreds of evacuees of Hurricane Ike were given food and shelter at Radha Madhav Dham.
That facility provides free diagnostic exams, treatment, surgical procedures, hospitalization, emergency services and medication to hundreds of patients daily.
[7] Radha Madhav Dham participates in inter-religious services such as Austin Area Interreligious ministries,[29][36][51] Hindu-Jewish Solidarity Day[52][53][54] and PBS's Many Voices project.
