“Rangeeli Mahal Pratishthan” was founded by H.D. Swami Prakashanand Saraswati. Later on “Vishwa Kalyan Kendra,” a subsidiary of Rangeeli Mahal projects, was built in 2000. A charitable hospital for the villagers was inaugurated in January 2007 to provide free medical services to thousands of brajwasis.
The foundation ceremony of Rangeeli Mahal was specially Graced by Maharajji Kripalu on January 14, 1992. This is the residence of Shree Maharajji. It has 20 guest rooms. Vishwa Kalyan Kendra has 6 dormitories, 48 rooms, 2 basements and a special satsang hall of 20,000 square feet which is the largest satsang hall in India. The building has a 12-foot wide verandah on all the four sides. A spacious hall has been especially constructed for establishing a research library of all of our scriptures. The building has four indoor water bodies which are beautified with colorful fountains. In July 2000 we celebrated Guru Poornima where over 6,000 people participated and about 1,000 people remained in residence for about two months. During that time Shree Maharajji abundantly showered the nectar of braj ras and the swinging leelas of Radha Rani, and revealed a new series of soul-enticing chantings of Radha Krishn leelas.

Three major festivals are celebrated here: Jagadguru Divas, Guru Poornima and Radhashtmi. On these occasions, the ashram bustles with activity, as thousands of devotees arrive from all over the world to be with their Gurudev.
