Every temple should be like this one! There is such a deeply felt mood of devotion and love in this temple. The care taken to decorate the Lord and His temple is evident in the beautiful darshans. And the perpetual kirtan is absolutely heart-penetrating. The property also has the samadhi and home of the great Bhaktivedanta Swami Srila Prabhupada who took bhakti-yoga outside of India and spread it throughout the world.
