Last Sunday, I got a chance to visit the ISKCON Temple, and it was really a peaceful and enriching experience there. ISKCON stands for International Society for Krishna Consciousness, and basically, the followers are joined for the worship of Lord Krishna and the teachings of the Bhagavad Gita. The temple is not only a place of worship but also a centre of spiritual learning and devotion.

Entering the temple premises, I was struck by its serene atmosphere. Beautifully designed architecture, with carvings and paintings depicting scenes from Lord Krishna's life, created a divine ambiance. Devotees were chanting the Hare Krishna mantra, and the sound filled the temple with positivity and calmness. The rhythmic music of kirtans made one and all feel spiritually connected.

In the main hall, the idols of Lord Krishna and Radha were decorated with coloured clothes and flowers. The priest performed aarti, and the devotees prayed with deep devotion. I experienced deep peace and happiness watching the ritual. The volunteers in the temple were kind and courteous. They told me about the importance of devotion, self-control, and compassion.

After that, we had the prayer ceremony. Prayers were followed by the offering of "prasadam", which is the food we provide to God. It was plain but delicious. They also had a library where books about higher knowledge and Indian culture were available.

The experience of visiting the ISKCON Temple has also taught me the importance of having inner peace, devotion, and being disciplined. The experience was quite memorable, which has left an imprint on my heart.
