ISKON, MANILA

Last Sunday was a extremely happy day for us. We went to the ISKON temple in Manila for the first time. We have always wanted to go there since we arrived in Manila but didnt know the exact location. It turned out to be close to where we stay in Makati.

From outside, its a small temple inside a house and doesnt have the pomp and majestic aura of ISKON temple of Mumbai or Bangalore. But as we enter and went infront of ShriRadhaKrishna, we were transported to another world and it was such a fantastic experience. Felt very athome in Manila there.

Seems there is also a small ISKON temple in Laguna and Cebu, someday hope to go there.

Felt bit bad for the young Monk from Brindabhan who said with a smile that he is suffocating! Understandable since Manila is very different from Brindabhan without the many temples and his fellow devoutees.

We felt glad also to know that theres plan to have a proper temple in Manila in about five years time.

Donations are wellcome.
