His Excellency Ram Nath Kovind President of India and his wife Savita Kovind visited the temple of ISKCON Sri Sri Radha Madhava Mandir in Makati, Metro Manila, Philippines in the afternoon on  October 20th, 2019.

This was the President’s first visit to the Philippines and devotees were jubilant about being able to host him. 

What made Ram Nath Kovind’s visit truly auspicious is that it happened during the month of Kartik, which is considered to be a special period of the year for deepening one’s love for Krishna.
