Seeking Temple President for ISKCON Lautoka

Srila Prabhupada personally opened the first temple in Fiji, the Krishna Kaliya Temple in Lautoka. During his visit to Fiji, Srila Prabhupada explained that the Kaliya serpent had now taken shelter of Fiji. This Kaliya serpent being a devotee, protects the other devotees

The Deities of Krishna Kaliya, Gaura Nitai, and Radha Govinda with Lalita and Visakha are being worshipped in the temple.

Thousands of local devotees flock to the temple on Janmastami, and other holidays.
