    Sri Guruvaayoorappan Temple is a classic South Indian temple with great architecture, stunning…read moreidols of deities with grandiose decoration together with the calm and peaceful vibe inside the temple. The temple is huge, well maintained and all the Covid precautions are in place. There's ample of parking space outside. Once you enter the temple from the side door, there will be a temperature check and after that, you go upstairs where you'd see all the idols. The one clever thing that the people working here have done is that they have installed one entry and exit point so that there's only one way from start to finish to see all the idols, get blessings, pray and worship once inside. They have arranged this fence type barrier and you follow along throughout, seeing all the magnificent idols at display. Apart from the beautiful idols, they also do various pooja/ archana for a reasonable price. You can get the details before entering the main floor. There's also a canteen located at walking distance from the temple with plenty of food items on the menu. The canteen is run by volunteers (as far as I could tell) and the menu is your typical South Indian styled food items like Dosa, vada, idli and a few more along with beverages like tea and coffee. We had a few different varieties of dosas, Idli & Vada combo, coffee and kesari. The food on offering was just ok with mild toned down flavors. The temple has a calming vibe, it's peaceful and a place for devotees to gather and be one with the divine. A must visit temple if you're around.

In this month: I visited 15 different churches in 1 day, it was in Chicago, IL. And in several other towns, States. Let's don't forget, recently I visited the US largest Hindu temple, located in Robbinsville, NJ. Reason why you can call me: Public Figure PeTeR HuDeC, all churches, all temples, and other religious pilgrimage places lover. Amen!

    This temple holds a special place in my heart because it is the first Hare Krishna (Gaudiya…read moreVaishnava) temple I ever stepped foot in my life (fifteen years ago). The management has changed since then, but this has become my favorite temple in the New York metropolitan area. I first became Gaudiya Vaishnava approximately fifteen years ago, and since then I made friends all around the world, and did a pilgrimage to India. What's very important to Hare Krishna is association, or a congregation. I am very hesitant to join a congregation, but I found all the people here to be very nice. Prasadam (food offered to Krishna) is very important to the faith, and you can have a vegetarian dinner with the congregants every Sunday. It's very good indeed. I highly recommend the books sold at this temple. If you'd like to read up more and buy a Bhagavad Gita, this is the only New York area congregation that I am aware of which sells reprints of the 1972 edition of the Bhagavad Gita As It Is by Srila A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada (the guru who brought Hare Krishna outside of India). As many devotees are aware, subsequent reprints of the Gita have extensive and controversial edits. During high festivals such as Janmastami, they have a nice outdoor setup in the backyard. Very nice atmosphere. Whether you're a newcomer, curious, or someone like me who is from another mission (Hare Krishna is not from one single organization but many), you may visit and feel very welcome.
