All contributions & funds are used for community development & to run an international class school for poorest of the poor children in deep rural village cluster in Karnataka, India. The Ashrama is run by monks (sanyasis) who do not keep any wealth for themselves. Thanksgiving & Christmas is celebrated with lavish classic Carnatic & Hindustani music recitals followed by vegetarian dinner. A true "Temple" and not a commercial place.

The deities are nice but holy hell this temple is dirty! Does the management not care to present a…read moreclean, organized space to the large number of devotees that frequent your premises? I didn't touch the Prashad because of the way milk is left outside in the shoes area. Dirty rice cookers just placed willy nilly on the pathway that we use to walk around the deities. The priest was doing Abhishek and tossing milk cartons in front of the seated devotees. It just is so hard to feel spiritual and cleansed if you're surrounded by human disorder. Please go take a look at other temples to know how to conduct yourselves when doing an Abhishek. A pile of growing trash tossed out of the sanctum is hardly a spiritual experience. I wish the shoes area was clean as well but it's not. It's a mess. Please teach your staff to treat a holy area with some respect. As Hindus, we think it's wrong to find fault with a holy place but this review is strictly about how mismanaged everything over here is. It's about the disrespect shown by its people, not the deities.

One woman told me I can't sit in the prayer because I am wearing track pants & Tshirt I NEED TO WEAR INDIAN ATTIRE to be a part of the puja. She was speaking Telugu so few things I didn't understand. That's sick. I feel sad for her. I still sat for the puja. God doesn't decide the dress so what's with this sick mentality woman. I really wish I knew her name so that way she could stand out. I request the temple management to kindly take care of such situations politely. Her mentally is stinky. I would rather pray at home than being surrounded by such sick mental human. I am definitely never going back to this temple. Woman like her is a harm to the environment.

We have been going to the temple for past 30years. We love the ambience and authenticity in the way…read moreit's built. The deities are beautiful. The priests are knowledgeable. Many also speak multiple Indian languages catering to all devotees. However, my recent visit after the new year left me with a bad impression due to the way one priest behaved. He was trying to put the poles to streamline people which is understandable. The temple was not crowded but given it was post new year there was a constant flow of devotees. This priest was yelling and screaming, completely disrespectful to the devotees. He was so loud that we could not even hear the priests chanting of the Archana. He completely ruined the sanctity of the temple. The same task could have been done in many different ways, without having to yell and scream and spoil the devotees experience. I hope this is not something that will be repeated, for I would love to go back for a peaceful visit.

So glad that I finally came here for the Pooja and dinner of kitchari, dahl, paneer curry, and watermelon. I ate the watermelon first because fruit gets digested quicker. Then everything else. Finally the prasadam which was shira and raisins. So delicious! I liked that the menu was vegetarian and that there was no cruelty to animals. So much better than the Buddhist temple in Palo Alto that has a crab fest (never hear of Buddhists killing a living being before...I used to volunteer at a Buddhist kitchen in the Atlanta area and meat or seafood were never, ever on the menu at the World Peace Cafe Kitchen in Sandy Springs. The next time, I come here, I'm going to bring a couple of $20 bills to make a donation. Truly enjoyed this spiritual experience. A real boost to my mental health and happiness in very trying times (wildfire smoke and the pandemic). Overall though, God has been very kind.
