Location
Open in Google MapsFounded in 1989, nine years after the country’s first ISKCON community was established at New Shantipur in Czarnów (already documented elsewhere in this directory), the New Ramana Reti Temple, at ul. Zakręt 11 in the village of Mysiadło just south of Warsaw, is described by ISKCON Poland’s own site as the organization’s main Warsaw temple — reflecting Warsaw’s importance as the country’s capital and largest population center for the movement’s continued growth beyond its original rural Silesian base.
As at other ISKCON temples founded during this period, including its sister community New Navadvip in Wrocław, worship at New Ramana Reti centers on the Pancha Tattva in the paired form of Sri Sri Gaura Nitai — Chaitanya Mahaprabhu and his close associate Nityananda — central to Gaudiya Vaishnava devotional practice descending from the missionary work of A. C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada. Its annual festival calendar includes Radhastami, Srila Prabhupada’s Vyasa Puja, Janmastami, Nrisimha Caturdasi, Rama Navami, Nityananda Trayodasi, Gaura Purnima, and Balarama Purnima, and the temple maintains an on-site shop selling religious books, Indian clothing, spices, and music. Named founders and detailed building history remain unconfirmed in the sources available for this entry.
Sources
- historical record: Cross-checked against Wikipedia's 'Hinduism in Poland' article and 'List of Hindu temples in Poland' article: both identify the New Ramana Reti Temple (Nowe Ramana Reti) in Mysiadło, near Warsaw, founded in 1989, worshipping Gaura-Nitai (Chaitanya Mahaprabhu and Nityananda), and describe it as ISKCON Poland's 'main' temple.
- historical record: Wave 2 follow-up: address and coordinates confirmed via ISKCON Poland's own current site, harekryszna.pl, which also names the temple president (Madhavananda das per Polish Wikipedia's ISKCON article), confirms Sri Sri Gaura Nitai as the presiding deities, and lists an annual festival calendar of Radhastami, Srila Prabhupada Vyasa Puja, Sri Krishna Janmastami, Nrisimha Caturdasi, Rama Navami, Nityananda Trayodasi, Gaura Purnima, and Balarama Purnima; the temple also runs an on-site shop selling books, Indian clothing, spices, and music.
