- Visitors have the greatest chance of successfully booking a reservation if they are online and ready to reserve at 9am on the first day reservations are released. Visitors who wait and try to book a reservation later in the week may have difficulty due to high demand and many people booking at the same time.
- Temple Darshan reservations allow for a short visit (up to 2 hours). Visitors may enjoy darshan with Hanumanji, visit the Temple grounds and OM Park and enjoy snacks, including chai and samosas, at Anjaneya’s World Café and browse through Oceanview Book and Gift Store.
- We ask for your patience in the reservation process as capacity is limited.
You are also welcome to consider a longer visit to Mount Madonna Center, booking an overnight stay or attending a yoga or meditation retreat. We also have full day visits that include meals, a guided walk and yoga class. (See Plan Your Visit).
We look forward to seeing you again soon!
