What to expect at a temple
ISKCON and ISKCON-aligned Kṛṣṇa Conscious temples serve as living reservoirs of the recommended daily practice schedule Śrīla Prabhupāda established. They are active facilities full of singing, dancing, learning, cooking, and cleaning. Daily programs include kīrtan, classes, and several offerings of prasādam. Most facilities maintain an open-door policy with posted operating hours.
Although donations are welcome, you will not be pressured for money, commitment, or personal information. You will always be free to come, observe, and leave whenever you wish.
