Update re. Darshana Bookings and Rostered Services

29.10.2020

Dear Devotees,
Please accept our humble obeisances. All glories to Srila Prabhupada.

2020 has been a tough year for humanity at large. As Lord Krishna tells us, both happiness and distress in this material world are temporary. This COVID situation is also temporary. But, as the saying goes, “tough men last, tough times don’t”.

Things are slowly getting back to normal. However, we are not out of danger yet. Collectively and individually we still have to take every care and precaution to be safe.

Starting Monday, November 2, we will begin to re-engage our devotees [volunteers] who live off-campus.

One of our primary objectives is to continue serving the Deities without any hindrance. If anything should go wrong, we are risking the regular services to Sri Radha Vallabha. I am sure none of you would be happy if that happened.

We wish to give everyone the opportunity to serve our dear Lordships Sri-Sri Radha-Vallabha, Sri-Sri Gaura Nitai, Sri-Sri Jagannatha-Baladeva-Subhadra and Srila Prabhupada as much as possible. But we must also keep in mind that “WE ARE NOT FULLY OUT OF DANGER YET.” This means we may not be able to accommodate everyone per the pre-COVID roster.

We humbly request everyone to please be sensitive to this situation and co-operate with your department heads. If your services can be accommodated, your department head(s) will contact you.

Your full co-operation is most appreciated.

Hoping to see you all soon.
Your servant,
Sukadeva Dasa,
Operations Unit Manager

Entry to Melbourne Temple for rostered services

Updated 9.7.2020
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. Do not enter the Temple room unless you have service there.
  3. Do not enter the Temple room for the purpose of having darshana.
  4. The Temple room is open 4:15 am – 10 am. All temple programs, including chanting sessions, are for temple residents only.
  5. 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)
