Shri Krishna Vrundavana Temple

Krishna Vrindavan Temple is one of the most peaceful places I’ve visited. The moment you step in, there’s a calm and quiet energy that instantly relaxes you. What I really loved is that the temple has multiple deities — Lord Krishna, Lord Shiva, Lord Ganesha, and Sri Raghavendra Swami — all in one place, which makes the experience feel complete and spiritually fulfilling. If you’re planning to visit, I highly recommend going between 5–7 p.m. The atmosphere during that time is serene, not too crowded, and you can truly sit and absorb the peaceful vibes. After 7 p.m., they offer mini prasadam, which is a lovely way to end the visit. Overall, the temple gives strong South Indian vibes — simple, clean, devotional, and very grounding. Definitely worth visiting if you’re looking for some calm and positivity.

Very Peaceful,divine and the temple is surrounded with full of positive vibes from Pooja, Japa,Thapa,Homa and mantras. From the strong blessings and Thapo Shakthi of His Holiness Sri Sri Sugunendra Thirtha SriPaadhangalu, this temple is built. Every body will get an opportunity to do Hari,Vaayu Gurugala (Sri Raghavendra Swamygalu)Seve with Prasadha. So lucky that we have this temple here.🙏🏻 Priests -Shankar Narayan Bhat Acharu,Ravi Acharu,Shailesh Acharu and others are very cordial,friendly and highly knowledgeable in Pooja, Mantra, Homa, Japa , Thapa, Anustaana.They are always radiating positivity with smile and patience for all the devotees.Everyone is treated equally. ||Hari Sarvothama||Vaayu Jeevothama||🙏🏻

Parents loved the udupi atmosphere and want to do a repeat visit tommorow! Volunteers do a great job of coordinating and serving food to all. Wish the location was in a slightly better place along with good parking options.

I recently visited Shri Krishna Vrundavana Temple in San Jose, CA, and it was a truly peaceful and devotional experience. The temple is beautifully maintained with divine idols of Lord Krishna, Hanuman, and other deities placed in an intricately designed golden mandapam. The ambiance is serene and filled with positive energy. The moment I entered, I felt a deep sense of calm and spiritual connection. The priests are welcoming and perform poojas with great devotion and care. The temple also hosts regular bhajans, cultural programs, and special events that bring the community together. The cleanliness and decoration of the temple reflect true reverence and care. I highly recommend this place for anyone seeking spiritual solace or just wanting to spend some quiet, meaningful time. A hidden gem in the heart of San Jose!

We had our wedding ceremony here and overall, it was a beautiful and memorable experience. The rituals were performed with great care and devotion, and everything was well-coordinated. The priests explained each step thoughtfully, which helped both us and our guests connect with the traditions. Our guests were looked after warmly, and the authentic South Indian-style cuisine served was delicious. The temple itself is very well-maintained, clean, peaceful, and spiritually uplifting. The staff and volunteers were cooperative with our family throughout the event, and the accompanying music added a lovely touch to the atmosphere. That said, there were a couple of things we felt could have been handled better. Initially, we were in contact with a different priest who had given us a specific quote and didn’t ask for any deposit. Unfortunately, closer to the date, we found out he had gone to India and would not be performing the ceremony, something we wish we were informed about earlier. When the new priests took over, the cost increased significantly due to additional dakshina and the inclusion of another priest (brought in as a translator), which we weren’t told about in advance. While he was helpful, we weren’t sure if this addition was necessary. We were never given a detailed itemized bill in written form (just verbal estimate, and the final amount ended up being almost double the original quote). So while we highly recommend this temple for its service, setting, and spiritual ambiance, we do suggest future couples ask for a written, itemized cost breakdown early on to avoid any surprises on the big day.

Most powerful and peaceful place of all time commander-in-chief. It’s always a pleasure to hear his bhakaatas share glory of how he has helped them in getting peace, solace. Shri Krushnam vande jagad Gurum 🙏🙏

We visited the temple on a quiet Saturday morning. The temple has Krishna as the main deity and has the heritage of Sri Krishna temple at Udupi, Karnataka, India. There are spacious rooms for prayer, homa/yajnya and events. I did hear about Prasad being distributed after the noon pooja around 12.30pm or so, but not sure about the exacts. You can park right in front of the temple gate/entrance but the street parking is permit only for the residents.

Rude Priest and Aarti Not Conducted on 1/16 Visited on Jan 16, 2026 for the evening aarti and had a very disappointing experience. We traveled from Mountain View to San Jose, arriving around 6:45 PM, the usual aarti time, with a first-time visitor and my two-year-old child. There was no priest present, no communication about any schedule change, and devotees were left waiting. After 45 minutes (7:35pm) , I was questioned about paying for the puja and then spoken to rudely, including an inappropriate remark implying I had come only for food. This behavior was disrespectful, offensive and unacceptable in a place of worship. Basic courtesy and clear communication would have avoided this entirely. I hope management takes this feedback seriously.
