Have you heard of a group called "International Society of Divine Love"? They
are based in Austin, Texas, and have a Hindu temple at "Barsana Dham",
400 Barsana Road, Austin, Texas. Their ph #: 512-288-7180.
Reason I ask is: I have some aged relatives (two ladies, my chithi-patti,
and perimma) who live with their son in the Bay Area, who are considering
visiting this temple for 2-3 days sometime in the May-June timeframe. They
have heard from A visitor that this is a "nice temple to visit, .... a peaceful
environment to spend a few days in, .... Hindu God idols .. it's kind of a Hindu
Temple", etc . However, they don't know anything else about it. The temple
will apparently help them with finding taxi transportation from the Austin
airport to their location, provide tham boarding & lodging, albeit austere, etc.
My mother-in-law, who is visiting from India, and is currently staying with my
s.i.l. also in the Bay Area, may possibly join these two ladies to visit
this temple in Austin.
Have you heard of this? Is it run by Americans? Indians? Is it like an
Indian temple like the one in Livermore (Bay Area), Malibu (LA Area),
Pittsburgh? Or is it like the PalaniSwami temple in Concord which is run by
Americans, but very devoted to Hindu ways? or is it part of the Hare-Krishna
movement ?
Any info regarding this place would be appreciated.
