Rupanuga Para Vidya Pitha in Vrindavana

Mahanidhi Dasa: Srila Prabhupada wanted to construct an 'American House' at the Radha-Damodara temple, where his Western disciples could study Sanskrit and the Vaisnava scriptures. Prabhupada previously indicated this desire in a letter to Nripen Babu, co-trustee of the Radha-Damodara temple, dated 15 December, 1966, from New York City: 

"Now one thing I beg to draw your attention to is the Rupanuga Para Vidya Pitha, which I wanted to start in Vrindavan, within the vicinity of the Radha-Damodara Mandir. My aim is to start it on the land of Sri Sri Radha-Damodara temple, which I think will be very good for everyone concerned. I want to start a nice international institute at the place of Sri Rupa Goswami and Jiva Goswami."
