The temple is presently headed by H.G.Srinivasa shyam dasa and he also serves as the project director for the new upcoming temple Sri Sri Radha Krishna Sankirthan Mandir.Today our temple has full time devotees and congregation in hundreds. Main festivals are Sri Krsna Janmasthami, Govardhana Puja, Gaura Purnima, Radhasthami, Nrsimha Caturdasi...Every year big public festival is organized in a grand manner in public places like Kalyana Mandapam with international speakers, bhajans and prasadam distribution. 

The precepts and practices of ISKCON were taught and codified by Lord Chaitanya, who is direct incarnation of Lord Krishna in 15th and his principle associates, the Six Goswamis of Vrindavana. Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu, gave a powerful impetus for a massive bhakti (devotional) movement throughout India. Under his direction hundreds of volumes on the philosophy of Krishna consciousness were compiled. Many devotees have followed in the line of Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu including, in the 19th century, an outstanding Vaisnava theologian, Bhaktivinoda Thakura who brought Krishna consciousness to a modern audience. Bhaktivinoda Thakur's son, Bhaktisiddhanta Sarasvati Goswami, who is the Spiritual Master of Srila Prabhupada, instructed him to spread Krishna consciousness in the West.
