About the Temple
This temple is a Hindu Temple dedicated to Radha Krishna, to meet the spiritual needs of the Hindu community in Utah County.
Brief History
The temple is deeply rooted in devoted members of The International Society for Krishna Consciousness (ISKON).
The temple came into existence through the movement of innumerable devotees of Lord Krishna and additionally modern-day advocacy for the Krishna Consciousness of Swami Prabhupada.
This temple came into existence mainly due to the efforts of Charu Das and his activities within ISKON.
Charu Das is an American-born, living in Europe, India, and Singapore. While in Singapore he met his future wife, and both became lifetime devotees of Lord Krishna.
Charu Das first visited Utah in 1975 when he traveled to Brigham Young University (BYU) to preach and spread the news of Krishna Consciousness
Years later, on November 10, 1996, ground-breaking ceremonies were held at the temple, located in the south of Spanish Fork, and on February 16, 1998, the construction of the temple began.
Deity/Significance

About Lord Krishna; Bhagavad Gita declares whenever there is a decline in Dharma( religious practices) and a rise in Adharma( irreligious) Krishna descends to protect the pious and obliterate the miscreants.
