Vaishnav Temple of New York

Google Good temple, good programs, good people and I would give 5 stars, but when prasad gets served, a good temple needs to serve with full love and unsullied selfless service if they are volunteering. Recently, we experienced that one of the lady server was hush talking another lady's ear when someone goes for a second helping. This is very bad and should be avoided at all cost, esp in a temple out of all places. This was a put-off last time and we skipped a few consecutive programs all together after that. But in general, keeping that experience aside, this is a great temple and nice people overall.3 Stars

Google Let me preface this by saying the temple itself is beautiful and immaculate! The president of the board is super helpful and nice person! This is why I choose this to be the location for my wedding. Let me also mention I am from a deeply religious family, my grandfather was a pandit so my father and his siblings were raised in a very strict Hindu household, with two of my uncles going on to become pandits themselves. We are very respectful of the religion and it's values, something that apperently is lacking in the caretaker of this temple. Once he had our money it was all downhill from there. The joy day of my wedding was tarnished by his money grubbing , nasty mentality and my guests were made to feel like unwanted trespassers! I was quoted a price for the service being preformed there and cleaning, which I paid in full and have receipts for! I was told I would be provided a room to change into my wedding garb, few weeks prior to the wedding when I arrived to see the room in question he proceeded to yell at me saying that I need to pay for the room, a room mind you I would be in for all of 5 mins to change in!! That was then cleared up with the president that I did not in fact have to pay for this, mind you this is something other churches provide for brides! Moving on, when I arrived to make the final payment he then proceeds to tell me I have to also pay for cleaning of the room that I will be changing in! I said absolutely not I'm not making a mess in there I am changing from one outfit to the next! He say ok and we left. The day of the wedding and I have in writing that I was told we cen go set up the altar as early as 9am. When my aunt arrived to setup they told her you only have the hall from 12 to 5 so you can't do anything, they even refused to let her in the kitchen or bathroom for water to set the alter!!! These are godly people?!!!! Seriously?! Then when the wedding is in swing and it is time for me to change, this grown man hid behind a door and had a little kid tell me he doesn't know where he was and all the doors are locked so I couldn't get to the room that was supposed to be provided to me!!!! Well as luck would have it my cousin found an open door to a room where we ducked in to change, wouldn't you know it the man in question who was nowhere to be found suddenly appeared out of nowhere trying to barg in and chase us out even though my aunt explained I was undressed!!!!! I was in my underwear and this grown man pushed his way in!!!!!! In a temple!!! Let's just think about that for a second!!!! This is suppose to be a place of god! Later he would proceed to block of one of the bathrooms with a stall where he was pedaling Kurtas! Are you kidding me?! At the end when my parents were getting ready to leave (I had already left) he chased them down say we didn't pay for cleaning!!! Again I have reciepts! My parents at that point were over it, they are the most helpful and respectful people you will ever meet, they turned around and kept walking. Many people guest and family members helping throughout the wedding have complained of different instances where this man had been rude and inhospitable! This isn't a godly person, this is a greedy opportunist, creeper! Literally ruined my wedding day and had me in tears! Never in my life have I experienced something so disgusting! In a place of worship no less! It's really a shame!1 Star
