The story behind Sri Rangji Temple revolves around a special bond between Goda, also known as Andal, a saint from South India in the 8th century, and Lord Krishna. She expressed her deep love for Krishna in the verses of "Tiruppuvai," where she fasted, sang, and wished to marry him. In response, Lord Ranganatha, a form of Krishna, became her bridegroom in Sri Rangji Temple. The temple reflects a South Indian wedding, with Krishna holding a walking stick, Andal on his right, and Garuda on his left. The wishes of Andal, like spending her life in Vrindavan and having Krishna accept her as his bride, came true in the temple. Sri Ramanujacharya, an 11th-century saint, fulfilled her desire for "Ksheeranna," a special dessert. Sri Rangadeshik Swamiji made her first wish true by building this temple, where Sri Goda-Rangamannar lives as a divine couple.

Let us take a walk to the mid-1800s when Sri Rangadeshik Swamiji, while sharing tales about South Indian temples, heard the wish of two brothers from Mathura, Seth Sri Radhakrishnaji, and Sri Govind Dasji. Their dream? To bring Sri GodaRangamannar to Vrindavan. Now, Swamiji had a keen interest in the unfulfilled desire of Andal, so when he heard the brothers express this wish, it felt like a divine message. Without wasting time, Swamiji headed straight to Sri Rangam and spoke to the divine couple, Sri Goda-Rangamannar, asking for permission to build their temple in the town. They said yes. Skilled workers were summoned from Sri Rangam, and in 1845, the construction kicked off. The brothers, fuelled by dedication, poured their hearts into the effort, and with the blessings of Sri Goda Rangamnaar, the temple stood tall in 1851. The passion and a total expense of Rs 45 Lacs brought to life the magnificent Goda Rangamannar Mandir in Vrindavan, a beautiful blend of human dreams and divine blessings.
