EXCELLENT PRASADAM AT ISKCON BRISBANE

Prasadam at ISKCON BRISBANE is aways excellent. And if it’s not excellent it’s very, very good. And these are the only 2 alternatives really, a tribute to the many expert cooks AT ISKCON BRISBANE, including hard working Co-Head Pujari HG Krishna Bhavana DD, her hardworking husband HG Ranchor Das being the other Head Pujari. What more can be said but: “Please come and taste the prasadam.” The temple is open 365 days in a year from 4.30 AM, when their Lorships’ Sri Sri Gaura Nitai morning sweets prasadam becomes available, till about 8 PM or so, Breakfast Prasadam is at just after 8 AM. There is an afternoon fruit offering at around 4 PM and at just after 6PM there is evening prasadam. Currently ISKCON Brisbane Temple is situated at 2705 Ipswich road, Darra and after some time SOON it shall be at 6 Lee st. Darra, just behind Darra shopping center and the Darra train station. ISKCON BRISBANE has recently purchased a church built in 1924 and Queensland Heritage Council listed, a First for ISKCON BRISBANE and Their Lordships Sri Sri Gaura Nitai. Combined with the Queensland government’s 50 cents train ride across South East Queensland, this will be a winning combination for sure and without any failure.
