    I've been. The services are really nice. My only other experience with a Hindu temple has been ISKCON. It's a little different, in that it feels more technical than ISKCON, not quite so westernized. I liked it, tho. I may go again. The Swami there, Kalkiji, is really knowledgeable & approachable. I felt comfortable asking him questions. Enjoy your visit, Namaste!

      I've taken a Eastern Psychology class with Kalkiji at Marylhurst, he and his wife are very nice and open people. They are a little hard to get a hold of though, I emailed them about visiting the temple and never received a reply. I'd love to go along with others who want to visit the temple. It would be very nice to see them again,

      Blessings,

          Great, Saul... Feel free to pm me if you're planning to be in town.

          i'm not sure how easy it is to get S. Kalki to reply to emails, because he never did when i originally contacted him via email (at the suggestion of his wife), but i know he's teaching a class at Marylhurst again this summer, so i may run into him on campus.

          Blessings,
