My mum, husband and myself visited the Mandir on Sunday, as my mum studies Yoga and has become interested in Hinduism. I just wanted to let you know that the visit was very moving and humbling for us and that we were made to feel very welcome even on such a busy day.

As a Christian, this is the first place of worship I have ever visited of a different faith. The atmosphere of the temple was very peaceful and, for me, God was very much present that day.

The exhibition was very informative: Mum told us that she has taken three years to understand through intense study the concepts and history presented in such an accessible way here!

So thank you for making us feel so welcome. I think that we will be back and I & my husband now have an even greater understanding and respect for the Hindu faith & communities.

I just wanted to contact you to let you know how much I really enjoyed my recent visit to the Shri Swaminarayan Mandir last week. My friend and I were struck with the beauty of the building and the friendliness of the people. There was a wonderful atmosphere in the place and it felt so calm and peaceful. I knew nothing about Hinduism before (I admit to only knowing a tiny bit now) but we were made so welcome by everyone and encouraged to look, read and ask questions that we felt totally at ease.

Once again many thanks to everyone. We'll be back!

My family and I have just returned from the visit to London. One of our stop offs was at the Mandir in Neasden. My wife is a teacher with a special interest in world religion, and she had read about your Mandir. To come across a place of such beauty and tranquillity in the suburbs of London was simply amazing. We were totally overawed by the whole experience and thank you for allowing us to visit.
