An Introduction
The Bhagwat Team comprising 4 persons is coming again to USA with the blessing and
guidance of Saint Shri Ramesh Baba ji of Man Garh, Gehvarvan, Barsana(Radha Rani's
birth place). Shri Ramesh Baba Ji is among one of the few renounced saints remaining
in Braj Dham who love Braj Dham and are concerned for the deteriorating Lila Places
of Shri Shri Radha Krishna in Braj Dham. He does not have any ashram or property
and does not hold any bank account. He is a very dedicated and devoted saint to
the Dham and Its causes.

Objective of USA Trip
This will be Bhagwat team’s eigth trip to USA. They have performed several Bhagwat
Kathas and Devotional Bhajans Programs in temples and individual homes glorifying
Shri Shri Radha Krishna, Srimad Bhagvatam, and Braj Dham, in a traditional Braj
style. These programs are not commercial and the money is not a criteria or a demand.
These Brajbasis are totally renounced and do not carry with them a single penny.
All the money collected is deposited in the account of Braj Dham Seva, Inc; a non-profit
organization formed by a few NRI’s in the USA, and then sent gradually for the on-going
and monitored Braj Dham projects. The Braj Dham Seva Organization is run by volunteers
and it has no paid employees. All the collected money is strictly used for the renovation
of Braj Dham’s deteriorating Lila Places; for medicines/medical services for needy;
for Goshalas to feed and protect cows; for schools and needy school children; and
for serving free parsadam to the needy Brajbasis.
