Google Great devotional place5 stars
Yelp One of the best places of worship I have ever been to. The Swamis, pujaries, devotees and owner truly love and cherish Maa. They open their home and temple and share brilliant wisdom through their Satsungs. My soul has been uplifted at Ariti. I love the Bhajans too. Being new to California I did not realize how predatory "Spirituality" could be. Here I have never felt recruited, pressured, or harassed which is a real hurdle for single women trying to navigate their way through spiritual circles. It is intense and maybe strange to most Westerners but once you understand and/or experience Maa Kali it feels like you have received one of the greatest blessings the universe can provide. A wonderful community with no culty vibes, just beautiful ancient wisdom and tradition.5 stars
Yelp We (with my wife and kids) reached the during Puja time and I really experienced the God's presence while praying. I have visited many temples in US and I only felt the vibration(I don't know how to explain that feeling. Its like some energy passing through your body) in my body while praying here.5 stars
Yelp I found Kali Mandir at the right time in my life, I'm nourished by the people there and their egregore.5 stars
Yelp "This is a private residence and the home office of Kali Mandir, a non-profit organization dedicated to the worship of the Divine Mother Kali. Be sure to go only during visiting hours. There are monks of the Ramakrishna tradition that live there and are engaged in study and practice. I recommend visiting their website first. Also, be aware of the Temple Dharma, which is described in the photos here in Yelp.5 stars
Yelp This Kali Mandir is definitely very beautiful and the location is very serene and offers peace and relaxation. The darshan that the priest gave us was filled with love and selfless devotion. The priest is very knowledgeable and open. The air is filled with rich incense that provides a good relaxing atmosphere. I highly recommend the temple.5 stars
