Where else can you find all of these Dieties in only location and under one roof? This is a temple…read morefor the modern devotee and it really allows for you to experience the core representatives of all of Hinduism, Puranas and Vedas in one sitting. This temple celebrates Sankranthi, Dussehra, Diwali, Siva Ratri, you name it. In other scenarios, it also pays attention to holy days such as Pradosham, Guru Poornima, etc. Most of it all, any major celebrations always mean that there is Maha Prasadam. Who doesn't want a cultural plate of tasty goodness?! Whether it is for a hearty prayer, or a touristy, culture-curious drop-in, I would highly suggest a visit here. It will leave you with a newfound sense of interest and further curiosity.

There's not too many Hindu temples in the state. I see Islamic mosques in the U.S. more than I can find a good East Asia Indian Hindu temple. Not huge, but there's plenty of great photo spots all around the temple. Employees are all friendly, welcoming, and set a great first hand impression of the experiences. Exterior and interior of buildings are worth walking around. When you enter the main gate for free parking, assistant gives you a small map of the site in advance. Note, Visitors can take photos inside the visitor center area, but no cameras, photography, or shoes are allowed in the main temple attraction site. No large backpacks, but I was able to bring my small hat/cap with me. I didn't wear it inside the temple though. Take off shoes and store them in the shelves available right before walking up the long stairs. Cover up/check dress code restrictions in advance. Good vibes all around. Inside the main temple were people praying/meditating. Very cold temperatures and echoing noise can easily be heard inside. White detailed sculptures are amazing. Indian culture is religious. Respect Hindu vibes. It's a great feeling walking around and you can check out other parts of the temple/museum. Great place for selfies and beautiful pictures for sure. Love it.

Lost Shoes, Found Enlightenment…read more Visited the beautiful BAPS Shri Swaminarayan Mandir and was truly impressed. The Hindu temple is absolutely stunning, the architecture is extraordinary, with intricate carvings made from Italian Carrara marble and Indian pink sandstone. It's on a apx 20 acres site. It took about five years to build, and knowing that so many volunteers helped create it with love and devotion makes it even more meaningful. Since the temple is located in an earthquake zone, I learned it also incorporates modern seismic protection technology beneath the structure, which is fascinating. The museum is definitely worth visiting as well. One unexpectedly spiritual experience happened at the shoe area. Someone apparently "borrowed" my shoes by mistake. For a brief moment, I thought perhaps I was being tested on detachment from worldly possessions. But then ... miracle of miracles ... the shoes mysteriously returned. My theory is either karma worked at lightning speed... or the person discovered that my shoes were not nearly as comfortable or fashionable as expected. Either way, I gratefully walked home with enlightenment... and my shoes.

Disappointing Welcoming Experience…read more While the temple itself is a peaceful and sacred place, the experience at the front reception unfortunately takes away from that serenity. The lady working at the reception desk consistently appears frustrated and unwelcoming whenever visitors enter. A temple is a place of peace where everyone should feel welcome. However, her attitude makes it feel less like a public place of worship and more like you are walking into her private home uninvited. A little warmth and a welcoming demeanor from the front desk would go a long way in preserving the respectful and positive atmosphere this temple deserves.

The temple rituals are awesome, I recommend visiting on Saturday morning to watch Venketeshwara being bathed. The temple offers many programs including daily teachings and courses online. Free Yoga is available. Free very tasty food is available. Nithyanandas teachings about enlightenment are the extraordinarily powerful, and life changing.
