Yasoda Devi Dasi
Festival Coordinator

Hare Krishna,

My name is Yasoda Devi Dasi. I am a disciple of H.G. Kalakantha Prabhu.
I was blessed to come into contact with devotees after moving to the United States in 2009. My spiritual journey began at Krishna House in Gainesville, Florida, where I had the opportunity to engage in various services, including assisting with the Krishna Lunch program at the University of Florida and supporting student outreach and preaching initiatives.

In 2021, during the COVID-19 pandemic, I relocated to Dallas and became part of the vibrant and inspiring Kalachandji Dham community.
By the mercy of the devotees and Their Lordships, I have been fortunate to serve in numerous ways—such as garland making, cooking, deity dressing, performing arati, hosting and serving visiting devotees, and helping organize devotional programs.

I am deeply grateful to Srila Prabhupada for giving us a joyful and practical spiritual process. His teachings continue to bring purpose and meaning to my life and inspire me to lead a life centered on devotional service.

Currently, I am honored to serve as the Festival Coordinator for Kalachandji Temple. In this role, I look forward to contributing to our community by helping plan and coordinate festivals, supporting the efforts of fellow devotees, and offering my service wherever it is needed.

Thank you so much
Your Servant
Yasoda Devi Dasi

Chiarra Mailloux
Administrative Assistant

Hare Krishna! My name is Chiarra Mailloux. I’m grateful for the opportunity to serve the Radha Kalachandji Temple as Administrative Assistant to the Temple President. In this role, I support the daily coordination and communication of temple leadership, helping ensure that decisions, projects, and service teams are carried out with steadiness and care. My goal is to help make sure our leadership efforts stay organized, responsive, and rooted in the needs of the devotee community.

Professionally, I’ve spent over two decades working in operations, leadership development, and organizational culture; most recently as a regional director in the healthcare field. Over the years, I’ve helped lead teams through seasons of change, restructure, and growth. I bring that experience into my temple service with a heart to support clarity, communication, and cohesion among devotees.

I’ve also served alongside my husband Śrī Avirhotra Dāsa in various outreach and devotional service projects across the DFW area and beyond. Together with our two children, our family is committed to living and sharing Krishna consciousness with sincerity, humility, and care for others.

I’m inspired by devotees who carry the unseen weight of service. The ones whose names may not always be known, but whose offerings hold the temple together. It’s an honor to support them.

Your servant,

Chiarra Mailloux

Śrī Avirhotra Dāsa
Connections Coordinator and Communications Lead

Hare Krishna!
My name is Śrī Avirhotra Dāsa.

I’ve been serving in the Kalachandji Dham community and throughout the DFW area for many years. My service has included cooking for temple programs and festivals, dressing Śrīla Prabhupāda, distributing prasadam through Krishna Lunch at local colleges, sankirtan, outreach, and community care. These experiences have taught me that devotional service isn’t about being noticed, it’s about being available wherever Krishna needs you.

Beyond temple service, I’ve worked in spiritual education, mentoring, and leadership development, supporting devotees at various stages of their path. I also completed a Master of Divinity at Southern Methodist University, which continues to shape how I think about care and community within ISKCON today.

Here at Radha Kalachandji Temple, I serve as Connections Coordinator and Communications Lead. I focus on building a culture of genuine hospitality and making sure our temple communications reflect the beauty, service, and heart of this community.

I’m inspired by the devotees who serve with consistency and care. I believe our communities thrive when everyone feels they have something meaningful to offer and the support to offer it.

My wife Chiarra and I serve together with our two children, doing our best to keep Krishna at the center of both our family and our work.

One who is not envious but is a kind friend to all living entities… such a devotee of Mine is very dear to Me.

Meet our new staff members
(joined in June 2025)

Kanchana Kunda
Care Team Lead

Hare Krishna, my name is Kanchana Kunda. I was born and raised in Kalachandji Dham. Growing up here and seeing the dedication and love of my elders gave me a deep appreciation for what it takes to build community. Most of my previous service organizing youth programs and supporting volunteer teams allowed me to strengthen my relationships in the community. I’m deeply inspired by the multi-generational strength of our Dallas community. That sense of shared journey amongst us creates an inspiring and strong foundation in my own life. My new role at the temple is Care Team Lead, a role that allows me to support existing care takers in our community in their efforts while also systematically adding intentional programs to bring together our temple congregation in service and community for Sri Sri Radha Kalachandji.

Pankaja Radha Devi Dasi
Care Team Volunteer Coordinator

Hare Krishna!
My name is Pankaja Radha Devi Dasi. I hold a Ph.D. in Biotechnology, specializing in Plant Tissue Culture, and received both my first and second initiations from His Holiness Giriraj Swami Maharaja. I began my journey in Krishna consciousness in 2014 and moved to Dallas in 2019. Since then, I have been actively serving at Kalachandji’s Temple to deepen my connection with Their Lordships, Sri Sri Radha Kalachandji.

I perform devotional services such as dressing the deities, cooking Raj Bhoga, participating in the flower department, and serving my Guru Maharaja personally every year when he comes to Dallas. In addition to my temple services, I bring over a decade of experience in community engagement, volunteer leadership, and program coordination.

I am now serving full time on the Care Team as Volunteer Coordinator. In this position I will work with department leaders to strengthen the volunteer experience and place volunteers in seva that is personally fulfilling to them. I offer strong organizational abilities, a collaborative spirit, and a heartfelt commitment to uplifting and empowering devotees. Coordinating volunteers in service to Sri Sri Radha Kalachandji is to me an expression of care and support for Their beloved devotees.

I value meaningful, trust-based relationships and strive to cultivate a warm, inclusive environment where everyone feels welcomed and inspired to serve. In my role as volunteer coordinator, my goal is to help strengthen our community and spread Krishna consciousness with love and compassion.

Your servant,
Pankaja Radha Dasi

Hare Krishna. My name is Gopal Krishna das, and I am from Finland. I joined ISKCON in 2012 in Helsinki, Finland, where I started as a book distributor and then did the service of sankirtan leader travelling around the country distributing books with a team of brahmacharis doing outreach programs for 6 years. Eventually I served as full-time temple commander and assistant to my Temple President helping develop the community. After 10 years in the brahmacharya ashram I had a graduation ceremony. After that I met my wife Champakalata Sakhi Devi Dasi and moved to serve with her to Bhakti Center, New York. There I took up services as onsite manager.

I will serve as Communications Lead and Sunday Feast Lead. I pray to serve Nrsima Rupa Prabhu and render quality service for the community.

I am inspired by chanting the Holy Names and reading our scriptures with my wife. I love to share Krishna Consciousness through education and personal connection. I love to regularly visit Mayapur and Vrindavan and render service to my Guru Maharaja Srila Bhakti Bhringa Govinda Swami. I love serving Vaishnavas and attending morning program at the temple. I deeply desire to make Krishna Consciousness fun and easy for all people, unify devotees in one mission and vision, and make them happy.

Thank you.
