Google With all due respect,In thebrief encounter I had, found the swami there to be rude,haughty and full of himself ... Definitely not a swami I would like to meet again.2 stars
Google Very sincere. One of my favorite temples in the Bay Area. Has a South Indian influence, but all are welcomed. Has another branch in San Martin on the way to Gilroy.5 stars
Google I love this temple!!! One of my favorite temples in Bay Area.Very beautiful Ganapathi temple with sacred and peaceful environment.Lord Ganesha always fulfills my wishes and good dreams. Believe me, God here is very miraculous and gives strength and power to succeed in life. I love melodious Keertans and Bhajans that are sung by devotees here, also sometimes played via music device.Poojas are very well performed.I love Prashads too...5 stars
Yelp A wonderful temple in the South Bay! This is a good temple. You feel Tranquil when you are here. The Temple has very nice "Murti's" and the Pooja done here is sincere and Heartfelt. All the three Pujaris here are sincere and honest. They work hard to keep the temple running. They also sincerely believe in providing service from the heart. The one thing that makes this temple unique, is that they do not sell any tickets for poojas. When you want pooja done, all you have to do is request a priest and he will willingly do it. They perform daily pooja in the evening that is very nice to be a part of. You can donate money in the "Hundi", but no one ever asks you to. They bought some land to build a nicer temple south of the current location. The only time I have seen them ask for some donations was for that new location.5 stars
Yelp Pretty nice Indian Hindu temple. The atmosphere is splendid. Surely place to get involved.5 stars
Yelp A wonderful temple in the South Bay! This is a nice temple. Pooja are done regularly without any tickets and You feel Tranquil when you are here.5 stars
Yelp The main deity at this temple is Vidya Ganapathi. My association with this temple over the past many years has been very positive and spiritually fulfilling. We had our Vaahana (vehicle) pooja done here recently. The priests here are helpful and take the time and effort to ensure that each ceremony is performed thoroughly. There is no cost to get a pooja done here, though one can volunteer to offer a donation to the priest conducting the ceremony. The list of items required for each pooja is also very clearly listed on their website. Full meals are offered as Prasadam at this temple (I go here over the weekend, so not sure about other days) in to-go boxes. Archana is also performed at regular intervals. Highly recommend a visit to this temple.5 stars
Yelp We visited this temple last week and were not very impressed. Let me list the good and the bad. Good -1. The priest is very courteous and has a very good Sanskrit pronunciation. 2. Temple has a few loyal devotees who chant Shlokas along with the priest and it was very nice. 3. The main deities at the temple were very well maintained. 4. Good food. Bad 1. A very bad location for a temple (its located behind a sports bar with lots of graffiti). Also there is not even a sign on the side of the road that points to the temple. We had to literally drive around that block twice before we found this place. 2. Not a clean place. As soon as you enter this temple, you can see an extremely messy, dirty restroom which is not even in a working condition. Even the surrounding areas of the temple as well as the floors of the temple are not clean. In my opinion, cleanliness is the key factor for any temple. In India, temples are always kept very clean no matter how big/small/rich/poor it is and thats how a temple should be2 stars
