Important Notice: 4-week Temple Closure – Weekdays from August 25 2025, for Security and Electrical Upgrades
Dear Devotees and Friends,
Hare Krishna Melbourne Temple will be closed to upgrade our security hardware and electrical wiring on weekdays for the next four weeks, starting August 25. This work requires opening building structures that are over a hundred years old, so there may be unexpected issues. We have set aside four weeks for these upgrades; however, if the work finishes in three weeks, we will re-open earlier. Please check for updates.
Key Details:
- Weekday Closure: All Temple activities will be paused Monday to Friday.
- Meal Distribution: Weekday meal distribution will be paused.
- Weekends Open: We will remain open as usual on Saturdays and Sundays.
- Online Darshana: 7 am darshana will continue to be broadcast live at the Hare Krishna Melbourne YouTube channel.
- Devotee Services: Devotees engaged in regular services are encouraged to continue as normal. Contact your department head for any questions.
- Cooking and Offering Schedules: The regular Deity offerings and Crossway’s cooking schedules will continue.
- Radhastami Celebrations: Midday Radhastami celebrations will be located at the State Hockey and Netball Centre in Parkville.
We apologise for the inconvenience and appreciate your patience and understanding.
Thank you for your continued support.
Your Hare Krishna Melbourne Team
