GREETING

Deliverable - Guest

I. How to receive guests at your temple

· Have a nice sign made that says: Welcome Guests outside your lobby/reception area

· Greeting: “Welcome to our Hare Krsna temple. Is this your first visit? How did you find out about our center/temple?” Smile, be friendly, warm, and express a genuine feeling of caring about these guests who have come to visit with devotees and take darshan of Krsna

At the January 2005 SSPT meetings in Dallas, team members came together to discuss improving the welcoming of guests within our ISKCON North America temples and Vaishnava communities.

Our team members worked together in a very lively and cohesive manner. There was a sharing of numerous creative ideas for improving the welcoming of guests to our temples.
