If  you can stay at home, do  your own personal devotion and long to have the darshan of Radha Krishna, you are doing true devotion.
 
Just like, suppose someone lives very far from Radha Madhav Dham – he has come here once, and he couldn’t come back for a long time, but he is really longing to come back.  Longing means like you are thinking of the spiritual time you enjoyed over here, thinking of Radha Krishn, thinking of their presence here.  This makes your longing for the temple a longing for Radha Krishn for Their vision- as long as devotional longing is there, it is devotion and you will receive the true benefits of doing devotion.
