Silence: Please maintain silence and move quietly. Turn off cell phones, beepers, and watch alarms.

Food and Drink: Please do not bring food or drink into the Temple.

Attire: One of the traditional ways to show respect for a holy place is to wear modest and clean attire. Please remove your shoes and place them on the shelves.

Seating: Women are seated on the left, men on the right. No lying down, please.

Darshan - Paying Respects: In India it is customary to pay respects to the murti, or holy statue, of a saint by bowing. With this gesture one is acknowledging not only the greatness and power of the saint, but also of one's own inner being.

Offerings: Baskets are provided for those who wish to make an offering as an expression of gratitude.

Prayer Sticks: Prayer sticks are available in the Bookstore. You are welcome to write on a prayer stick while in the Breezeway. Prayer sticks may be placed in the basket provided inside the gazebo. They are sent to Shree Muktananda Ashram and offered in the fire in front of the Shiva Nataraj statue.

Children: Children are always welcome with a parent or guardian.
