Gift Shop
Radha Govinda’s shop was establishedwhen the deities were installed in 1986, and our online shopping website is currently under construction.
Our products are beautifully handcrafted by artisans from various parts of India such as Mayapur, Vrindavan and other holy places situated at the banks of the sacred river Ganges. Sacred Boutique offers a range of spiritual gift items from japa (mediation) beads to inspirational books on bhakti-yoga, healthy living, meditation, and a Krishna conscious lifestyle. We also have exclusive sterling silver jewellery as well as colourful traditional Indian clothing.
As part of our ethos we believe it is important to give back to our community, so all of the profits generated are donated to Krishna Island and used to fund charitable projects, from feeding people to promoting spiritual knowledge and Vedic lifestyle causes such as cow protection.
