Had not been to the new temple for awhile about 3 years since I was in the old temple and when I came back for mahashivarati I instantly felt like I was home all the regular attendees remembered me and the priest or pujari knew that my mother had passed away and he instantly said that he could feel her happiness she used to take me to all the prodsham and that was how I was able to recover from 2 brain resections and 10 other surgery's and 2 comas induced because they could not stop the seizures and they told me that I would never walk talk or take care of myself and now I am working and getting my PhD in peer wellness specialist for people with invisible injuries he gave me a hand full of bilva leaves 🍃 and I have not been to a puja that also had bilva leaves for 25years and the temple was extremely beautiful definitely something that you don't want to miss experiencing hope that if fills your heart with all the love that i find so abundant there!...

Read moreIt’s great to have such a glorious Balaji temple here in Portland! We visit this temple at least once a week if not more. It’s very well maintained to create a divine atmosphere!
The food served here deserves a special mention. They have a dosa menu on Thursday evenings, a miscellaneous menu on Friday evenings, breakfast and lunch combos on Saturdays and Sundays. We love all the items but we try to never miss the Sunday lunch combo. Pongal and Medhu vada are really yummy 😋 too! Recommend everyone to try this at least once!
