Covid Pandemic important Update 

The Covid virus is spreading rapidly. Please do your part to protect yourself, your family, and others by wearing a facemask when in public, wash your hands often, and do not go out of your home unnecessarily. 1% of the population has been infected. That means, for everyone 100 people you meet, one of them has the virus. You will never know who is that person. 

We have had a couple of people arrive at the temple with high temperatures. There will be no exceptions if your temperature is high. You will not be allowed to enter the temple. 

The management of the temple must manage the temple in such a way that the daily deity service (from 3:30a – 9:00p) continues without interruption. Therefore, our priority is to keep our pujaris healthy. Therefore, we are restricting access to the temple. 

We will not be able to replace any pujari who falls ill. If that happens, the deities seva will be reduced. So, please do not be offended if we ask you not to come to the temple, ask you to stay within a certain area, or we don’t have festivals. 

Our priority is to maintain the current deity seva. We humbly request, please forgive us if you are offended by our actions. 

Also, if you are elderly, diabetic, or have other health issues, stay at home. Do not risk becoming sick because you haven’t had darshan in a long time. You can have daily darshan on www.mayapur.tv. 

Your servants,

ISKCON of Atlanta Management .

Hare Krsna!
Dandavats!
All glories to Srila Prabhupada!

We will open the temple for darshan beginning Friday, February 5th.

All the devotees have recovered from covid except for Gauranga prabhu who is still testing positive but has no symptoms. He is isolated in the guest house and does not enter the main temple building.

We will not have a person monitoring visitors. We will have hand sanitizer and mask on the table at the entrance on the porch. All visitors are expected to wear mask and keep six feet apart. Keep your interaction with the temple residents to the minimum. The more we social distance the less chance of spreading the virus.

The morning program is for temple residents only. No exceptions.

The daily darshan schedule is as follows:
10:00a – 1:00p
4:00p – 7:30p

For your safety and others, please wear a mask when in public, if you feel sick, do not go out in public, talk to others, and wash or sanitize your hands frequently.

Your servants,
Temple Management​

 Appearance of Sri Nityananda Prabhu
25 Feb 2021 Thursday ~ Nityananda Trayodasi (Fast till noon)

​Iskcon Atlanta 

Nityananda Prabhu appeared in the village of Ekachakra, in West Bengal, India, around 1474. In the Caitanya Caritamrita and other scriptures He is declared to be the avatar of Lord Balarama, the direct expansion of the Supreme Personality of Godhead, Krishna.

​Nityananda Prabhu, who is identical with Lord Balarama, the first expansion of Krishna, is considered to be the original guru for all of mankind. Thus, soon after their initial meeting, Lord Chaitanya Mahaprabhu tried to honor Nityananda Prabhu with a Vyasa-puja worship ceremony befitting a great spiritual master. However, Nityananda Prabhu protested and grabbed all of the worship articles from Mahaprabhu and worshiped Him instead. Nityananda Prabhu kept repeating, "Nimai Pandita [Mahaprabhu] is my Lord and master! Nimai Pandita is my Lord and master!" There was constant competition as to who would serve whom. Their transcendental love for one another is indescribable.
