Korsnäs Gård is the only Radha-Krishna temple in Scandinavia. The Deities here were installed in 1980 and named Sri Sri Gandharvika-Giridhari. Although the Bhaktivedanta Book Trust was not located here at the time the Deities were installed, how could it be accidental that they accepted the same name as Srila Bhaktisiddhanta Saraswati Thakur's beloved Deities who oversaw his printing press in India?

"We have often heard the phrase "love of Godhead." How far this love of Godhead can actually be developed can be learnt from the Vaishnava philosophy. Theoretical knowledge of love of God can be found in many places and in many scriptures, but what that love of Godhead actually is and how it is developed can be found in Vaishnava literatures. It is the unique and highest development of love of God that is given by Chaitanya Mahaprabhu.
Even in this material world we can have a little sense of love. How is this possible? It is due to the love that is found in the Godhead. Whatever we find within our experience within this conditional life is situated in the Supreme Lord, who is the ultimate source of everything. In our original relationship with the Supreme Lord there is real love, and that love is reflected pervertedly through material conditions. Our real love is continuous and unending, but because that love is reflected pervertedly in this material world, it lacks continuity and is inebriating. If we want real transcendental love, we have to transfer our love to the supreme lovable object - the Supreme Personality of Godhead. This is the basic principle of Krishna consciousness ."
