Light Up a Widowed Woman's Life for Gaura Purnima
The widows of Vrindavan live a life of deep devotion, dedicating themselves to kirtan and seva at Radha Kunda—the most sacred bathing pool in Vraja, personally revealed by Lord Chaitanya Mahaprabhu himself.
Lord Chaitanya is Radha and Krishna combined, descending to distribute the highest love—pure devotion. During his pilgrimage in Vrindavan, he rediscovered Radha Kunda and revealed it as the holiest place of worship, as the liquid love of Srimati Radharani. Today, these widows carry forward that legacy by caring for these very same waters, every single day.
For this Gaura Purnima, the widows will be celebrating with a beautiful feast, kirtan, and flower abhishek of Radha Madan Mohan on the banks of Radha Kunda.
Help them celebrate on this most auspicious occasion, by sponsoring their seva.












Support a widowed woman's life for Gaura Purnima.
Meet Purnima, a widow of Radha Kunda in Vrindavan.
During this auspicious time of Gaura Purnima, a time of honoring Lord Sri Caitanya's appearance as the embodiment of mercy, and the combined form of Sri Sri Radha and Krishan - you will receive the unlimited mercy available by Sri Caitanya by supporting the seva of Purnima and widowed mothers like her, who maintain Sri Radha Kunda every day - while caring for the women in their widowed community.
Purnima has suffered extreme difficulties, and still, she is an incredible example of pure loving devotion. Purnima was married as a young girl without the opportunity for an education, and her young husband died while they were still teenagers. Her mother had already left for Vrindavan, as a widowed woman, and Purnima decided to follow her, instead of getting remarried. As a Caitanya Bhakti, living previously in West Bengal, she wanted to live a renounced life in Braj, following the example of Lord Caitanya.
Like many widowed women of India, she traveled thousands of miles alone to reach Vrindavan. Once she arrived she began to take care of Radha Kunda with her mother out of spontaneous love, until she met us at RadhaSeva where she became part of a much larger family. Today she is an incredible example, and lovingly cares for Radha Kunda each morning and evening.

The Significance of Gaura Purnima in Vrindavan.
Gaura Purnima, the divine appearance day of Sri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu, is one of the most beloved festivals in Vrindavan—a land deeply connected to his mission of spreading nama-sankirtan (congregational chanting of the holy names).
For the widows of Vrindavan, this day holds profound significance, as Lord Chaitanya himself revealed the glories of Radha Kunda, where they now offer daily seva. He is the embodiment of compassion and devotion, embracing the most humble souls and uplifting them in Krishna’s love.
On this auspicious day, the widows gather at Radha Kunda, singing the maha-mantra, offering lamps, and praying for the mercy of Gauranga, who promised that pure devotion is available to all, regardless of status.
By supporting their celebration, you become a participant in His mission of divine loving devotional service in His most beloved land of Vrindavan, serving these most incredible widowed women.
