The Hindu Temple of St. Louis

One of the best hindu temple I have visited so far in the USA. You get positive vibration when you enter the shrine. Clean and vedic chantings all over. And they test every one for temperature using the app.

This temple is good to visit. Also has kitchen which serves delicious food.

Good hygiene measures with temp check social distancing and tasty food as well!

Although the temple is good. The service of the temple and the people are worst, too commercial and money minded, during COVID period probably a month back when i took my aunt and came to temple to visit godess lakshmi, the door where the pooja would be performed was closed, so we took the darshan of the remaining gods and sat at the entrance for a while we were told due to COVID we cant wait inside for more than 15 min only if we take the archana ticket or any other ticket we are allowed to sit long. A lady who took archana pooja ticket was allowed to sit in front of godess lakshmi for more than 40 min continuously and we were asked to go out and wait and come back for the laskshmi pooja door to be open later. While we were ready to go out suddenly the person who sits as the ticket counter and rudely spoke with my aunt not to come back and that we should not durshan the goddess lakshmi without ticket. He was talking to us with loud voice and i did not like the discrimination which they made to follow the COVID 19 situation rules only to us and wait out of temple and come back while the other lady who took the ticket was not questioned any thing and was allowed to wait. People come all the way from far making time from busy work day schedule just to have dharshan of God and if we are miss treated my the people of the temple because of commercial values, this is very bad behavior towards people and a disgrace to hindu temple society. I strongly believe if rules for COVID 19 are to be followed, every one who visit the temple should be treated equally and no one have the right to ask the visitors to get out and to come back for 2nd time dhurshan if the goddess lakshmi pooja door is closed and that also on Friday which is primarily considered auspicious day for lakshmi pooja .

Want peace ??. Just go and spend an hour. Ofcourse comes with delicious food too!!
