ISKCON Temple Vrindavan

ISKCON Temple Vrindavan

If you are at Vrindavan, this is the place to visit. Awesome !! is the only word to describe the place. It is a temple of Krishna and Balaram. We went for prayers, however were stuck with the beauty of the deity and the flower decoration. Go their, sit and enjoy for some time.

Vrindavan, the place where Lord Krishna indulged in his pastimes and where you will find a temple for Krishna in every nook and corner of this town, has over 5000 temples (I am told). In this labyrinth of temples the Iskcon temple stands out due to its sheer sense of "Bhakthi" or devotional service to Krishna. The beautiful temple made of exquisite marble sculpture and the most beautiful deities of Krishna, Radha and Gaura Nitai I have seen till date, reverberate with devotion. Incessant kirtan and bhajan, the flow of devotees (many of the from abroad and many of the ladies look like Gopis in Indian attire), the easily available Prasad and the fabulous Darshan (sight) of the Lord without any long queues make the ISKCON Krishna Balram temple the best in Vrindavan.
