Book Your Deity Darshana on our App 
28.3.2021

Hare Krishna everyone,

To attend Deity darshanas at Hare Krishna Melbourne, you must book using our ISKCON Melbourne Darshan app. Strictly NO BOOKING, NO ENTRY.

The ISKCON Melbourne Darshan app for Android is now available from the Play Store at https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.gg2001.bookingapp

IOS users can download the IOS version from https://apps.apple.com/us/app/iskcon-melbourne-darshan/id1538322607

IMPORTANT:

1. Each individual over 16 years of age must book their own slot as a user. Individuals who are 16 years and under can only be added as guests.
2. We release new darshana slots each week. Bookings for the morning program (4:30 am to 9 am) open on the evening before. 
3. Along with the darshana slots at 12:30 pm, 4 pm (4:30 pm on weekends), 5 pm, 6 pm, 7 pm and 9 pm, there will be some additional darshana slots available at 11 am.
4. We are reserving 5 places for elderly people (aged 65 years and above) who do not have a smartphone. 10 places will be reserved in the 11 am slot and 6 places will be reserved in the 4 pm slot (4:30 pm on weekends). Please contact Temple Reception on 03-9699-5122 to book.
5. Each booking slot runs for 30 minutes. The maximum number of people permitted per arati is 40. 
6. All visitors must carry face masks. The State government strongly recommends that you "wear a face mask when at a private gathering or when you cannot maintain 1.5 metres distance from other people."
7. Your booking must be made under your legal name so your contact information can be provided to state authorities upon request.
8. Bring your Photo ID (photo or soft copy) with you to verify the identity you used to book.
9. You may book a maximum of ONE darshana per day and 2 darshanas every 7 days. We want to give as many people as possible the opportunity to receive the Lords’ darshana.
10. Please arrive 10 minutes prior to your darshana time.
11. Please maintain social distancing at all times, take responsibility for your personal hygiene, and return home when your darshana is complete.
12. Those who are offering rostered services are also required to book on our app to attend darshanas during public arati/darshana times, so that we do not breach the legal limit of 40 people.

Here are the current State government guidelines for religious institutes.

Online Darshana During Current Temple Closure To Prevent the Spread of Coronavirus

1.9.2020

Entry to Melbourne Temple for rostered services

15.3.2020

As you all are aware, to prevent the spread of coronavirus the Temple is closed until further notice from Monday, 16 March. Temple gates (front and back) will be locked at all times. Our managers have finalised how devotees will be given entry to complete their rostered services.

Access to Temple 

Phone numbers for department heads and some ashram devotees are displayed at the front gate.

Please call any of these numbers for access when you reach the gate. Service rosters are displayed to verify your service.

Important 

1. Entry is only for rostered devotees - not for anyone accompanying them - including family and friends.
2. Please leave the campus once your service is complete. Ask someone with the gate key to let you out.
3. All temple programs, including chanting sessions, are for temple residents only.
4. If you are feeling unwell, you must prioritise informing your department head. 

Considering the seriousness of this situation, we request everyone's co-operation.

Praying that you all stay safe and healthy,

Your Servant,
Arjuna Sakha Das (Staff Co-ordinator)
