The new matha in Heserghatta, Bangalore, South India is called Sri Ranganatha Gaudiya Matha. The matha is located on an attractive natural setting over 5 acres of land. This land is the punya-bhumi (the holy land) visited by Sri Vyasadeva, Sri Vyasa Tirtha, Sri Brahmanya Tirtha, Sri Durvasa Muni, Sri Ramanujacarya, Sri Srimad Bhakti Prajnana Kesava Gosvami Maharaja, our beloved Srila Gurudeva, Sri Srimad Bhakti Vallabha Tirtha Gosvami Maharaja and other prominent Vaisnava acaryas.Srila Gurudeva approved the land and Sripada Bhakti Vedanta Dandi Maharaja acquired the land in April 2005. Srila Gurudeva named the matha appropriately as Sri Ranganatha Gaudiya Matha. Sri Ranganathaji (Lord Visnu) has an opulent temple in South India. The temple is a round structure. Sripada Bhaktivedanta Tirtha Maharaja performed the installation ceremony of the Deities of Sri Sri Radha Krsna and Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu at the matha in June 2005. He also performed the inauguration of the new brahmacari asrama.

The farm has more than 100 coconut trees and 50 mango trees. The entire setting reminds one of Hawaii. Plenty of seasonal vegetables and fruits grow on the farm. The unlimited supply of sweet water is very conducive for the food self-sufficiency of the matha.

The matha has a beautiful temple. The deities of Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu and Sri Sri Radha Vinodabihari grace the altar. The matha has a guesthouse facility for the guests who want to take advantage of staying in this holy place and worship the Lord. The Lord enjoys the vegetables and fruit that are grown on our 5 acre land. The beauty of the matha premises is very charming. Many trees such as coconut, mango, banyan, and so on surround the Lord's temple. Heserghatta has a great historical significance.

This place was known as Vyaserghatta (literally Sri Vyasadeva's place of bhajana). However, over a period, the name has changed to Heserghatta.
