Ambaji USA - Shree Shakti Mandir

The temple is beautifully maintained and it offers a much needed escape from the fast paced city life in Atlanta. The location is so peaceful and tranquil, it will have your heart the moment you enter the premises. A wonderful place to connect with your inner self and learn more about the rich Hindu culture. Free food is provided. I highly recommend visiting the place if you're looking for a spiritual retreat.

Beautiful, clean and well maintained temple. Feels very calm, divine wnd good vibes. The kitchen is open throughout the day serving free prasad (veg food - no onion and no garlic). Must visit. Om Shanti 🙏🏽

One of the nice temples in Atlanta. Very peaceful atmosphere. The temple is clean is very well maintained. They serve free tasty food. Plenty of parking space available.

It’s built in a large land area with spectacular infrastructure, intricate designs and beautiful lights. They organize various events band food offered is super tasty and purely in Indian taste. Inside the temple it’s very calm ,all gods look really beautiful and priests are nice. Only they need to work on crowd management as it gets real crowd and busy during garba ceremony and they should treat everyone equally. Rest is good.

I'm thrilled to share our exceptional experience at Shakti Mandir in Atlanta, South! My family and I felt truly blessed during Durga Ashtami Darshan and Prasad. The compound is vast, featuring a multicultural center, food court, and more. Highlights: - Performed Ras Garba on the ninth day at the spacious summit center - Expansive multi-event center - Huge parking lot accommodating over 2000 cars - Loved Patel Brothers food court, especially ordering Gujarati snacks through the convenient KIOSK - Unlimited dining area Rating: 10/10! Our family from New York and Atlanta was thoroughly impressed."

Beautiful temple! Folks we’re very nice and let me walk about and take some photos! It was very nice that there was a big Hanuman statue in the main part of the ashram.

First of all change the priest.. extremely rude.. also found him saying bad things to devotees coming to the temple.. I wonder if he is a real learned priest or just wannabe who wants to exercise power over others. We came driving 3 hours to this temple during navratri and instead of a divine atmosphere, found the priests joking and taunting devotees. What a control freak..

Shree Shakti Mandir is a serene spiritual haven. Its intricate architecture and peaceful ambiance create a truly divine experience, making it a must-visit place for spiritual seekers.

If you want to feel at peace, visit this temple. It's a very big temple. The moment you enter the temple you instantly feel at peace. Well maintained, clean this temple is a must visit. It has a store inside the temple which has good varieties of different items ranging from snacks, sweets to Pooja items. They also offer Prasad which has the warmth of home cooked meal.

Temple is the place where people go for worship, peace and this is the place you will find the same. Well organised and feels like you are attached with your roots. Plenty of free parking space in and around the temple. Huge sitting and standing area inside the temple. Just like many other Buddhist temples, please remove your shoes before going inside. The whole area is super clean and sanitary, no matter where you go from bathrooms to prassad gruh (food place). Priests are very nice and affable in performing any kind of services. A shop inside the temple offers wide variety of snacks and pooja items that one might need. All in all it is one of the best temples in Georgia. I'm sure everyone would have a blissful experience. I recommend strongly to visit this place if you are in the area. Shree Shakti Mandir, Ambaji USA, has a history that dates back to 1990. That's when 15 people gathered in a rented shopping small space in Lake City for worship services. On June 6, 1993, the Hindu ceremony called Prana pratistha, during which the deity is brought to inhabit and infuse the space, was performed. Over a million devotees from across the globe, from all stations of life and of all ages have come to worship and gather at Matahi's Mandir. The 'Annapurna Prasaad Gruh' of Shree Shakti Mandir provides excellent and FREE food within the temple to all the devotees since 2003. Ambaji USA is the ONLY temple in USA provides FREE Food 365 days in year from 12 PM to 8 PM. This could not have been possible without Mataji's blessing and generous donation of devotees. Inside the temple there is a store which provides all invaluable items according to Hindu religion and culture. It also has DVD, CD, God Idols, and other religious books for needs of devotees. Temple also provides catering services for the community. Maharaj from India cooked the food inside the temple with delicious taste and excellent services. Temple also provides priest services for Hindu community with affordable price in all over USA. This service includes marriages, baby showers, Satyanarayana Katha, Babri, Gruh Pravesh, Havan etc. In the temple premises their is large indoor hall called Sumant Center was built in 2002 to help the Hindu community for their auspicious and cultural events. Sumant center has three halls, capacity from 200, 1,000 and 6,000 respectively. These 3 halls have their separate kitchen to accommodate food services for the events. These halls can be rented by contacting temple office based on availability. This center is one of the biggest in Atlanta, GA. It also has five class rooms where kids and youth can learn the Gujarati, SAT class and other cultural activities.

Great temple, great people and free prasad. If you want to take food home donation of 5$ required. People Still ignore it and sometime management have to tell them and they act surprised . These people don't have issue for 5$ coffee at Starbucks but want to take dinner home for free and have problem supporting temple.

I attended a Bhangra competition here, not a religious service, so this review is for the venue space, not the services. The hall is large enough to accommodate a huge crowd, but is also versatile enough to serve for smaller gatherings. The open-joist celling allows for the hanging of dividing banners/curtains to divide up the space- and a surprisingly elegant way to do so. On our visit, there were several hundred seats set up in the middle, facing the built-in stage with curtained-off wings to each side. This allowed spaces for food service without disruption. The venue also featured a large kitchen, a number of smaller rooms, which could be used as classrooms, bridal preparation rooms, or (in this case) dressing rooms. It was perfect for this purpose- I'm sure it works wonderfully for services as well, though.

I wish I could give them no stars!!!. I have been going to ambaji temple since 2003, I work a few miles away, so it's very convenient for me since they have a cafeteria style Prasad serving every day from 12 noon to 7 pm in the evening, Rather than spending my money on lunch in a restaurant I prefer to go to the temple put 13 to 15 dollars of my lunch money as donation about 3 to 4 times a week, been doing this since about 2003 if I can remember about $30 grand or so, a rough estimate which I have dropped in there, makes me feel as I am doing my part as a human being by donating for a good cause. Over the years I have donated rice, vegetables etc, countless times. When I am working, I go there at all times of day depending on my sech. Few weeks back it was early evening went to the temple, thought I would pray for a few min then go have prasad as my usual routine. Cafeteria was empty as usual , there were s few people sitting there with the, who I believe was the kitchen manager, skinny guy see him there all the time. Lady was sitting a few seats in front of me , she finished eating picked up a small water cup that they had , went up to the buffet counter and took the ladle and poured some black eyed beans in the water cup. To my surprise the cafeteria manager walks up to her and started screaming at her telling her that she was stealing food and that he had seen her take food before a number of times , embarrassing her trying to show off in front of his friends or family. The poor woman was in tears , while i was sitting there and watching him degrade her in front of everybody. I wanted to get up and punch his face in , what gives him the right to say anything to anybody about taking some Prasad , I thought prasad was for everybody and to share. It was around 6.30 pm and they would have through out the food anyway. More over it was not coming out of his pocket. What was he trying to prove. I hope all you devotees will think twice before you support these guys. Please stop giving them any donations as they do not deserve to be supported by us any more. They should be ashamed of themself having such uneducated people working for them . I have stopped going there and will never be back, what a disgrace to society these guys are, makes you wonder what they are doing with your hard earned money. Shame on these guys, more over I have seen this guy packing food for his people a number of times. Like he owned the kitchen. I guess these guys forget today were they are is because of all the devotees and the donations provided by people like us and the lady who was humiliated by this temple. I am going to do everything in my power to tell people not to support temple. I think they need to fire this guy and put an apology to this young woman in the cafeteria.
