tripadvisorI have been going to ISKCON temples my whole life around the world. I have to say the Boston temple is very special. The atmosphere is a family environment, very welcoming to everyone! The Sunday and Wednesday programs are incredible with delicious vegetarian free feasts! In the heart of the city (by Copley square) its a beautiful location!
MoreA nice little ISKCON temple in downtown. It is smaller in size n area compared to other ISKCON temples I have visited around the world. But it is still pretty calming place to visit. They do sell and sometimes freely distribute the English Translated easy versions of Holy book Geeta. Even if someone is not spiritual person, going through these books, give u instant knowledge to yr brain and peace to heart. There are sunday classes for kids on various topics too. Now a days, kids do not simply trust in God, they ask questions on God and Its existence. ISKCON teachings fit the bill very nicely with new generations as their explanations are backed with science facts and also its not pushy on praying in one particular manner only. It helps kids in understanding n building their beliefs irrespective of the religion they belong. Their Prasad, the holy feast after the prayers, are always very good. It has that unique flavor that remains same be it Finland, India, LA, London or here. If you are in that side of town then may consider to spend sometime and Darshan in Temple.
