Sri Rangji Mandir, Vrindavan is an epitome of the rich Sri Vaishnava

tradition with its harmonious union of vedic rituals, agama worship

and heartfelt devotion of the Alwars. The mandir trust also has to its

credit a number of initiatives for the society like running a veda

pathashala, an ayurvedic hospital, free accomodation and

prasadam for devotees and the needy.

​

           With immense pleasure, we hereby inform you all that

the renovation, structural strengthening, and gold plating work

for the 50 feet high Dhwaja Sthambha of Sri Rangji Mandir,

Vrindavan, popular among devotees as the “Sone Ka Khamba”

will commence on November 1st 2026, the auspicious day of

Sri Rangadeshik Swamiji's avatar utsav, under the auspices of

Yajaman 'Bhagawan SRI GODA RANGAMANNAR' himself. 

 

​As per the agama shastras, 'The Dhwaja Stambha' (also called the

Garuda Sthamba), dedicated to Sri Garud ji (the eternal sevak of

Sri Maha Vishnu serving as his vehicle, messenger and protector) has

great significance.

            - As per Agama Shastras, a temple is equated to the human body

              and the Dhwaja Sthamba is considered the

              prana-danda or the spinal cord of the temple.

            - It is the spiritual antenna which receives and radiates the divine

              cosmic vibrations sanctifying the entire mandir premises.

            - It is the post where the garuda dhwaja is hoisted during sacred

              ceremonies like the Brahmotsavam as an invitation to the Devatas.                    

            - It is the boundary mark of the sacred inner court of the mandir where

              devotees offer their sashtanga pranams, surrender their ego and

              then head for darshan of Bhagwanji.

            - In our rich tradition, participating in the renovation of a temple (Jirnoddharanam) is considered even more meritorious than

              building a new one. Specifically, contributing toward the Dwaja Sthamb is a rare opportunity that occurs perhaps once in a  

              generation.

​

                                                                                                      !!! A Golden Opportunity Awaits Us !!!

​

Garudji is especially dear to our Sri GodaRangamannar Bhagawan.  As a loving gesture of gratitude for his service , here in Sri Rangji Mandir, Garudji is bestowed with the special privilege of standing beside Sri GodaRangamannar on the main mandir altar as per the wish of Goda amma . 

Long ago in this sacred land of Braja, Sri Krishna lifted the mighty Govardhana alone effortlessly and held it up for 7 days and 7 nights and the Braja Gopas, unable to contain their desire to serve their beloved Krishna held up their sticks to support Govardhan Hill. 

Now, as Sri GodaRangamannar presides over the renovation and leads to its completion effortlessly, like the braja gopas, with love filled hearts we all have a chance to do our tiny bit for the pleasure of Sri GodaRangamannar.

 

Contributions are welcome in cash or gold form as per one's divine inspiration and capacity (yatha shakti). It is said that 7 generations of one's family are blessed by contributing for such noble cause.
