Barsana Dahm

This place was on «On The Hunt With John Walsh» tonight and it seems to be founded by pedophiles! I would stringly advise to go elsewhere and NOT support this hoax organization that’s dressed up as spiritual & please do not take your children there!!!

Beware! I certainly hope that theremin Safe environment established for young people esp. minors. There was horrible abuse committed here by two pedophile supposed gurus. One has since died. One fled back to India escaping jail time after being found guilty in a TX court. So easy to have mindless cults spring from such an environment… We have seen this all too often starting in the 1960s! Rip off charlatans gurus imposing their will (and or bodies) on gullible adherents! Beware! Check things out!

Worth a stop while on the way to/​from The Salt Lick in Driftwood, Texas. It stands out as a gold topped shining beacon as you drive down the road to bbq heaven.
It’s free entrance and visitors are welcome. As we drove in we saw a family of deer standing by the side of the road. As we wandered the grounds we saw some peacocks. I love that this is an animal sanctuary as well as a Hindu temple. It was very quiet there and we decided not to go in because we didn’t want to interrupt any services they were having. The building is lovely from the outside with lots of color and fountains. It was very peaceful and if you are looking for an interesting spot to stop while out in the hill country, this is it.

The Holi festival is a must attraction for EVERYONE! this happens once a year around March 6 so look for it! Soooo much fun!!!

4.25 stars. The Barsana Dahm is a Hindu temple located between Austin and Driftwood, Texas. The Barsana Dahm is a sanctuary for individuals to meditate, practice yoga, and gain an understanding of Hinduism with a decidedly Western bent. The temple’s beauty surpasses those of temples throughout the continental United States, and it is a somewhat unknown treasure on the outskirts of Austin.

This Hindu Temple on the way to the Salt Lick (in some eyes, TWO religious establishments) is open to the public during visitor hours, and despite any lack of commitment to changing or establishing new religious beliefs, it’s worth stopping into, and attending, to broaden your horizons if this is new to you.
The grounds are spectacular, as is the Temple, peacocks saunter along the drive, and visitors can take off their shoes and peruse the interior, while learning more about Satsang, Barsana’s history and beliefs, and get a feel for the space.
A pleasure to stumble upon.
