Geeta Temple Ashram — Attraction in New York

I visited this temple recently, and the experience was both spiritually uplifting and deeply peaceful. The moment I stepped inside, I felt a wave of calm energy. The architecture is stunning — intricate carvings, vibrant colors, and a layout that makes you pause and reflect.

all the Sati rupa (52) murti are there along with 9 grah. I was finding deities at all corners. hope this review and pics encourage someone to go and visit...

Seemed like a discussion between Vibhishan and Ram, that also had translations for more meaning oriented folks. Then there was Aarti and Prasad. Finally we lined up for Langar, that was like dinner. The eggplant vegetables and kadhi-chaawal was tasty, but spicy for kids. Kids loved roti (whole wheat bread), the types of sweets and rice.

Would be nicer if they explained what was going on in hymns, especially for kids who were...
