    Who we are

    A community born in Atlantic City,
    still growing today.

    A group of Bangladeshi Hindu immigrants came to Atlantic City, New Jersey with hope for a better future. To give their children the essence of their roots, religion and culture, they established Sree Sree Gita Sangha in 2000 — under the inspiration and guidance of Swami Jyotishwarananda Giri Maharaj.

    What began as monthly prayer and Saraswati Puja has grown into a vibrant home for Krishna Janmashtami, Durga Puja, Kali Puja, Maha Shiva Ratri and the rhythms of daily devotional life. In December 2010 we opened our prayer hall, with Radha-Krishna installed at its heart.
