Catering Services

The temple provides catering services for ceremonies conducted at the temple or another venue of your choice. The prasadam (Food offered to Lord Krishna before being served to others), is cooked at the temple kitchen by designated cooks.

We strongly follow the Vedic way of cooking. What distinguishes Vedic cooking from other types of cooking is the cook's spiritual consciousness, his awareness that he is preparing an offering for Lord Krishna. The effect of eating prasadam is different from that of eating food cooked merely for the pleasure of the tongue. We think about a lot of things when we cook, but pleasing God isn"t usually one of them. And when food is cooked  without God consciousness, the materialistic thoughts of the cook subtly affect whoever eats it. But when we eat prasadam, food cooked with devotion to God and offered to Him in love, our hearts become purified. There is a saying if  you eat ordinary food, you simply develop lusty desires to enjoy this material world, but if you eat prasadam, you increase your love of God with every mouthful.

Charges for a plate of prasadam depend on the menu. The general range varies from $10 to $15 per plate plus Delivery charges.
