Costa Rica is celebrated for its wildlife, volcanoes, animal sanctuaries, and breathtaking natural landscapes. The ISKCON temple is located in a bustling section of San Jose, the capital city, nestled amidst a blend of residences and dining establishments. Though modest in size, the temple fosters a close-knit community spirit, with only a handful of residents residing in its ashram. Despite this, devotees from all corners of San Jose converge here to partake in spiritual dialogues and practices.

The journey of the temple’s Deities, Sri Sri Nitai Gaurasundara, is tale locals affectionately refer to as the “sankirtana party,” owing to their numerous relocations over the years. Having graced Costa Rica for more than three decades, their adventures began on a farm where a solitary cow produced milk exclusively for their nourishment. From there, they journeyed to a devotee’s seaside abode before settling in various locations within San Jose, where they have resided contentedly for the past eight years, with no plans of moving any time soon!
