Brief details of centre

The Krishna House has been a part of Columbus since 1969, although it has changed locations within the city a few times. Currently the temple is located in the midst of the OSU campus.

Formerly, the Columbus Krishna House was recognized as ISKCON's only "Mataji Mandir", meaning it was an ashram for female devotees only. However, we now have the fortunate addition of male devotees to the ashram. This addition to our growing group of congregational members has enhanced the preaching capacities and enthused our congregational supporters.

Deities

Sri Sri Radha Natabara

Sri Sri Jagannatha-Baladeva-Subadhra

Each Sunday we dress all the Deities in the temple for the week. This is a wonderful opportunity to see the Deities when They are first dressed and decorated and when the garlands and flowers are fresh. There is also a very special feeling at first darshan in the morning.

Please join us each Sunday morning for this special event, starting at approximately 9.15am. After darshan and arati, a light prasadam breakfast is served. This is a great way to start the week off right.

Other Information:

You are always welcome at the Krishna House! We have two evening programmes every week (Thursday and Sunday), a Wednesday lunch, and a daily darshan schedule. For details of other events such as Sanga meetings please check website.

How to get there

The ISKCON Krishna House is located on the south side of the Ohio State University campus, two blocks west of Neil Avenue, across from the OSU hospital parking garage. There is parking available on the street in front of the temple.

From the north:
Take 315 South to the Kinnear Rd/Olentangy River Road exit. Turn left at the end of the exit ramp onto Kinnear Road, which becomes Olentangy River Road immediately. Just after the Lennox shopping center at the traffic light, turn left onto King Avenue and cross the river. After the first traffic light on King Avenue, turn left onto Perry Street. Turn right onto West 8th Avenue. Temple is a block and a half down 8th Avenue on the right.

From the east:
There is construction that has shut down I-670. We are working on getting better directions exiting from 71, but for now these directions will work: Take I-70 west through downtown. Exit on 315 north. Take the Goodale St/Grandview Heights exit. At the end of the exit ramp, turn left onto Goodale. At the next traffic light, turn left onto Neil Avenue.
