    Land of Krishna and Such Gurukul outside of India are a rare sight. I had an opportunity to visit this holy place today. It’s in middle of forest 🌳 I would say but yet connected to highway 🛣 to reach here comfortably. Place is huge to accommodate hundreds of devotees together. Darshan of Srinathji is very glorious. Place has been very nicely maintained, decorated and organized. The front view of temple resembles lotus which is favorite flower of lord Krishna. A mountain has been created for an avatar of Shree Krishna with area enough to do parikaramaa and chant lords name. Lot of idols of respected muni’s are also placed. Place gives very peaceful feeling. Must be visited , Jai Shree Krishna 🙏💐 it has place to stay in the campus (paid) and a beautiful lake indicating Holy river Yamuna ji. Thanks Maha Prasad was a Gujarati thali which rice, chapati, moong daal, potato 🥔 cabbage 🥬 curry and Kadhi , it also had very delicious mohan thaal as sweet dish. Good sitting arrangements for having Prasad was done. I visited on Saturday and had Prasad not sure if this is served each day. Canteen had good masala tea as well.

    Vraj temple gives you natural feeling, peaceful, Tesla charging station, lots of parking spots and bus parking as well. If you planing to take bus or few people to visit and thinking about to stay over night then they have facilities to do all. Just call them day or few days early so the management can make arrangements for food and accommodation.

    A place of worship for Vaishnavs. This place has following on the campus. 1. Main temple dome for all 6 prayers of the days. 2. Huge parking lots around the dome. I mean they are huge!! Almost what you see at an international airport!! 3. A canteen that serves tea, cofee and Indian snacks from 8a to 6p. Every day through the year. 4. A community hall where lunch is served for free and dinner ($7 per person). 5. Rooms to stay overnight. Call in advance to book it. Please look at the pictures and get a good idea of the campus and the size of it. Check out early mornings for sunrise and dawn time for amazing sunsets!! Temple staff members are amazing! So very understanding and cooperative. I go there and stay for a night or two 2-3 times a year since last 20 years!! Place is so tranquil and peaceful to disconnect from the world and recharge!!

    Jai Shree Krishna. Peaceful religious place located away from the city's hustle & bustle. Perfect location for a day's travel if you are nearby Philly area. Take your parents here at least once. Temple is nicely built with facilities for everyone. Wheelchair accessible, ample of parking space, nice surroundings for a walk. They do have overnight stay facilities (paid rooms). Have kids play area, volleyball /tennis/basketball court, swings and slides for kids, many benches for adults to seat, relax and chitchat. Breakfast (paid), Mahaprasad (lunch free 12.30 PM to 2 PM), dinner (inform them in advance, it is cooked based on number of people to avoid wastage). One may not receive mobile network coverage inside the temple (I use T mobile) but outside it is pretty good (LTE/5G). Temple does provide free wifi but when I connected to it, it wasn't providing Internet at all. Not sure if it was just a temporary glitch.

    Beautiful, serene atmosphere, away from hustle and bustle of city life. We couldn't get the overnight accommodation. So we stayed in the nearby Quality Inn ( 15 minutes drive). I would love to spend a couple of days, but the temple management told us that we need to call them months in advance to reserve accommodation. We ate prasad lunch, which was very delicious. Everyone at the temple seems very nice. It's a huge complex with many halls for gathering and dining and discourses with lots of seniors hanging around. Would love to come back in the future, God willing 🙏

    My all time favorite location…❤️❤️ One of the best place to visit with family and specially with kids. All greenery around wherever you can view. Very big and very well managed hindu temple. You will definitely fall in love with the hilly side. Calm & piece another add on to the place. They serve breakfast from 8.00 am to 11.00 am, delicious authentic gujrati vegetarian lunch after 1pm. Always stay overnight . Excellent place. Vraj temple gives you natural feeling, peaceful, Tesla charging station, lots of parking spots and bus parking as well. If you planing to take bus or few people to visit and thinking about to stay over night then they have facilities to do all. Just call them day or few days early so the management can make arrangements for food and accommodation. Manager Roshanji is very friendly and helpful.

  • 5/5 Hetal S. 11 months ago on Google
    Serene Divine Peaceful Shrinathji Haveli Mandir. The best live vocal prayer hymns I have heard Would love to visit again for all the daily rituals and stay for a few days. The Shrinathji Mandir with timely prayer and rituals is Divine There is Yamuna Maharani Mandir and timely Aarti, Govardhan Pooja. The Govardhan Parvat made is just amazing & Divine Clean rooms to stay at night(need to book in advance) not available on short notice. Great Prasadam every day. There is a cafeteria too for morning breakfast & evenimg snacks. Need to pre-book dinner You can also give your time to help with any service required by the temple. The people are very welcoming Gives you lot of peace away from the daily hustle. Thoroughly enjoyed the stay

  • 5/5 Subhash G. 1 year ago on Google
    Very nice Krishna temple with a lake and an ashram. Photography during service was not allowed and for lunch/prasaad, one has to call ahead of time to let them know the head count. There were over 300 visitors for noon service and the place was well maintained. We visited the store also and got tulsi plants and a couple of malas. Overall, it was a great explanation 🙏

    Very nice clean and beautiful temple. You will have ultimate Devine feeling @ this Mandir. The mandir has nice canteen and accommodations are also available. Better if you book in advance. Mandir is not open all the time but it has mentioned the timings on the website. Every time you will hear the classical Ragas live singing during puja.

  • 5/5 Ganesh P. 7 months ago on Google
    A beautiful temple in beautiful surroundings. Everything is beautiful. The cafeteria can use a little upgrade; gentleman in the counter is a bit rude. The temple, overall, is very beautiful, spiritual, and surrounded by natural beauty.
