There are many things that I greatly appreciate about this temple. The most obvious and external reason is the fact that they provide a great space for residents of the bay area to come every single Sunday and get a healthy free vegetarian dinner, and a night of great cultural music with a stimulating Bhagavad Gita class. The more confidential reason that I love this place is the all around friendly people and the beautiful philosophy that they teach. They are dedicated to meeting the spiritual needs of genuine seekers and people from all walks of life. All are welcome here no matter what race, gender, or background. Hare Krishna!
