Govinda Temple (Shrinathji Mandir) — Attraction in Jersey City

Please read this without fail before you visit.

We went there on a Saturday. We were sitting quietly praying there when suddenly the priest and his wife and one of the volunteers who entered there started screaming and talking loudly, discussing absolutely irrelevant topics. We patiently waited for them to stop chattering loudly but it was getting worse. One of us approached the priest and requested him to talk softly. At this point he started complaining about us to the other two folks and literally just remembered that he forgot to close the temple doors at closing time and asked us to leave blatantly. The other lady volunteer started shouting that it is her absolute right to scream and talk loudly in a place of worship and that if we have a problem, we should go somewhere else.

Absolute horrendous behaviour and experience. The temple next door is a much better energy and I would never visit this...

I believe God is in every human being. I worship Hanumanji and believe in his power. I saw aarti was going on so I entered. Ganapati puja was going on so thought of showing my family how beautifully they celebrate Ganapati puja so far from India. I took a small video and someone told not to do. I respect privacy so I right away stopped taking it. All of a sudden an elderly person came and rudely told me you took photo delete it . and was kind of in a bad rude tone. He was looking at my phone until i deleted it. I felt very bad and Insulted, first learn to respect a human being inside a sacred place. Put some instructions outside your door mentioning photography is not allowed and also ask your staffs to tell that before...

2-3 big negatives which made me stop visiting this temple:

Temple authority is loud, rude and unwelcoming. This makes the overall aura very negative. You feel a negative energy right after you enter until you exit. One rude guy sits near the gate, shouts and makes rude gestures with hands to keep trolly outside and doesnt allow it even near shoe section. Since I can't keep my trolly full of groceries outside so technically I can't enter the temple. Weird rule conveyed without manners. Temple staff always shouts and talks to each other in high volume and doesn't keep the place silent which is needed to pray in peace.

Gave 2 stars because it's a clean temple and...
