A warm welcome
Devotees will greet you at the door. Shoes are left at the entrance, as in any Indian temple.

Arati & darshan
An offering of lamp, incense and flowers to the deities, a beautiful moment of devotion.
Wisdom
A short, practical talk from the Bhagavad Gita or Srimad Bhagavatam, with time for questions.
Prasadam
A delicious vegetarian feast, first offered to Krishna, shared freely with everyone.
Dress & etiquette
Modest, comfortable clothing is ideal, as we sit on the floor. Children are always welcome.
