Wonderful large mandir hindu temple with large rental hall for weddings and receptions and shows. Founded by humble and beloved senior pandit Jadu, now in the hands of his trained pandit sons with a declining congregation that is now mostly relatives and family members. These bright smart college educated dictator fellows do not like constructive criticism and swiftly block anyone saying anything helpful or constructive on their Facebook site. The sons squeezed the old congregation so much, to make the temple appear wealthy that much of the congregation stopped coming. Instead of prioritizing the temple dome which is still a skeleton structure for countless years they try to make the temple look wealthy with expensive decorations with many donors (like myself) hard-earned money. Also a severe lack of timely event postings on their Facebook website ran by a tyrant idiot. They need to fire the current Facebook admins and replace with several technical young people as administrators on their website to timely inform the public of events. Wishing only the best for this beautiful temple that I and countless others help build contributing our money, labor , time and efforts. I pray the Lord guide these fellows With Wisdom, knowledge, foresight and humility to make this temple successfully. It's a nice temple with a large rental hall in the back that used to have a large congregation that mostly left after the sons and grandsons took over from their founder father and grandfather patriarch senior pandit Jadoo who built the temple. To bring back the congregation they need to allow and call on regularly visitors guests, new people and others to sing and offer their song bhajans like other temples and not just have their own relatives hogging the microphones thinking they are the best singers in the world. A Bajan is an offering just like a flower leaf water or fruit. Let people make their offering and not have one idiot hogg the mic thanking people came to see them sing. Limit everyone to two songs Max. Secondly, immediately fire and replace their Facebook admin who post useless junk instead of posting regular timely events for the world to know and attend. Their low self-esteem admin clown idiot has also block followers and deleted any constructive or helpful criticism. The new admin should go and unblock all the old members this insane fanatical fool has blocked / locked out on temples Facebook page. I only pray for and wish the best for this temple that so many of us help build fund and support with manual labor financial support our time and effort under the senior founder only to have The congregation deteriorate under the confused leadership of the pandit sons with poor management. I pray the Lord give them knowledge and common sense to make this temple a success once again. Hari Om...

Read moreNamaskar to all. I visited this Shri Lakshmi Narayan Mandir from New York and was highly impressed with the devotees and their hospitality. Everyone was so friendly and accommodating. The food was delicious, and more importantly the chanting of the mantras and bhajans was exceedingly devotional. I felt at peace as the sounds of the mantras soothe my soul. I would definitely revisit whenever I go back to Orlando. May Maha Lakshmi...
