  This is the place where you find bliss, I know I did. It's wonderful place run by devoted servants of the Lord. Everyone does their part here, in taking care of the place, I hope you do too. Help them in anyway you could, physically, mentally and the spiritual wealth you will obtain will be unmatched. What I love about their is they are always welcoming you with open arms and the place just feels like one top spot on the Earth! Hare Krishna 🌹

  Hare Krishna! The drive out into the country was absolutely beautiful and peaceful. The surroundings were quiet and filled with natural beauty. When I arrived, I was blessed to receive the darshan of Lord Chaitanya and Lord Nityananda. The devotees were kind and welcoming, and I was offered delicious prasadam. I also got to meet the wonderful animals they rescue—it was such a joyful experience. They kindly taught me how to chant properly on beads using a bead bag, and I was able to get some of Srila Prabhupada’s original books, including the beautiful Chaitanya book set. It was a deeply spiritual and heartwarming visit that I highly recommend to anyone seeking peace, devotion, and genuine Krishna consciousness.

  🛕 Atmosphere & Darshan Stepping inside this countryside temple feels like switching off the outside world and walking straight into a living painting. The twin deities of Sri Gaura-Nitai, draped in maroon-black silk against a vibrant red backdrop, radiate warmth and joy. Pearls shimmer around Their necks, marigolds scent the air, and the tinkling of a distant kartal completes the moment. If you arrive during the morning mangala-arati (4:30 AM) or the lively evening kirtan (6 PM), the altar literally glows. 🙏🏽✨ 🌳 Nature Therapy—Right Outside the Door The temple grounds are an emerald oasis: 🦚 Peacocks patrol the lawns (and occasionally hop onto parked vans, as you’ll see in my photos!). 🐑 Sheep mow the grass in slow-motion, adding a rustic charm. 🍃 Rolling hills, chirping birds, and zero traffic noise—perfect for a walking meditation. 📝 Why It Deserves Your Pin on the Map Hidden Gem: Tucked away in rural Tennessee, yet only ~1 hr from Nashville. Photo Ops: Stunning altar, roaming peacocks, golden cows—the likes & views roll in! 📸 Soul Recharge: Even a 10-minute stop feels like a mini-retreat. Community Vibe: Volunteers are happy to share the temple’s history and philosophy if you ask. ⭐ My Rating: 5/5 — “A slice of Vrindavan in Tennessee.” If serenity, eye-candy architecture, and friendly peacocks sound like your vibe, route your next road-trip stop here.

  My family and I regularly visit Murari Sevaka and every time has been so fun! The devotees there are very sweet and welcoming and the animals were also very friendly. The entire experience was amazing and we will definitely be visiting again!

  Hare Krishna. Google maps takes you to unknown jungle, almost no road. Finally it lead to a place where a single house with dogs barking. Returned back without visiting Bhagawan Srikrishna. If at all you attempt to go, please Phone, take proper directions and attempt at your own risk. There is no telephone signal at that address google maps lead.

  Moo! Me and a group of friends came across wonder friendly animals of Krishnas being nurtured by the wonderful woman (matajis) of the farm. Definitely a place to visit, support, and even volunteer! I would come back in a heart beat 10/10🙌 …

  I love Murari! It’s such a nice place for devotees to go and reset. The deities are absolutely beautiful and everyone should take darshan of them. The animals are all pretty friendly. I would highly recommend visiting!

  Probably the best Hare Krishna ISKCON temples in the US. Very nice Deities of Sri Sri Gaura Nitai. Cows, and many animals. Beautiful property.

  The place is absolutely gorgeous. I’ve stayed multiple nights there, and it was absolutely cozy and homey. If you’d like to reconnect to nature while you’re doing service, I definitely recommend.
