My personal experience is temple priest is very greedy person. He always targets new people to sponsor 365 dollars for everyday Archana which he promises which i serious doubt. Everyone goes to temple for personal peace and avoid any kind of unwanted disturbances but I always seen him asking get something or other from the people who comes to temple to buy for the temple all the time which I have personally experienced. I am not sure how many have faced it but I recommend avoid this temple if you have options.

Two stars as the temple is nice. However, the priest here is awkward, and keeps demanding donation (even though I voluntarily donate $20 for about every 4 times I visit the temple). Happened to me twice, and both times even I awkwardly excused myself. Planning not to visit there again. Note: if temple needs money for new construction, I guess there are better ways to go about it. For example, temple committee can be more open about their books, and we know by how much are they short (something similar to gofundme). I am sure people will volunteer more if they find some sort of openness from the temple management

Priest’s way of demanding donation is not appreciated. You can’t just put someone in uncomfortable position before bunch of devotees. He termed $21/$51 donation won’t help in any manner in constructing a new temple. Several thousands visit temple and every penny adds up value. Dear Non profit Organization members of this temple, address this issue with priest immediately. Sai baba prefers simple things over worldly things, isn’t it ?

Temple is good, but the priest who was sitting in the chair was offering theertham. When we went to get the theertham, he inquired where we moved from and asked us to donate 365$ right away. Made my husband sit next to him to donate the money right away. He didn't leave my husband until he received the email confirmation, which was not fair. I understand temples are a non-profit organization that needs our support, but they can not demand or order us to do right away the specified amount. It must be our wish how much we are able to donate. He didn't stop only with us. There were a couple of other families who faced this situation. There must be peace when you go to the temple. Now, we are not sure if we will go to that temple again.

It's a nice temple, but priest demands money everytime we go, which made so uncomfortable. Please avoid asking donation directly each and every person, better to display some poster and share flyers.

Echo the sentiments of many here . Priest forces donation every time we visit. Worst experience yday when he refused to give me theertham until my husband came . He prefers to serve men first ! Our culture does not promote such behavior. I have never seen him perform any puja. This priest needs to go.

Temple is nice but could not believe the priest is forcing you make an annual donation for $365. He makes you sit right next to him, go to their website and telling to enter that amount. Never experienced this before in any other temple.

I have been visiting this temple for 4 years now. Overall I like going there since its close by but as others mentioned the priest is little pushy. I understand donations keep the temple running but there are other ways to request for funds like announcements, posters, special events etc.

Temple is beautiful and very peaceful. But priest at temple who is giving thiertham is forcing to donate money. This is the only reason I don’t want to visit this place. Donation is people’s wish, which can’t be taken forcefully.
