An old guy at iskon being creepy

So on Monday, my sister and I went to iskon temple, my sister is nee to India, so i wanted to show Iskon temple because its really pretty...when we stopped to take some pictures at the road beside the entrance of the temple (the road left side of the temple from entrance) A man approached us in the name of iskon asking if we needed anything and if we have any problem, he is with iskon so he could help.

The description of the man:

Old (60s to 70s maybe?)

Some teeth missing

Kept spitting

Really tall

Was wearing lose pant and shirt

Continued: he also offered read our hands (palmistry) which we politely refused...but the man kept staring at our breasts and when i saw his hand approaching my sister (she is 16!!) I yelled uncle...but while was looking at his face...he touched my sister's hand..(which i didn't know till we were rickshaw back home) as soon as i yelled he joined his hands and ran away whispering something i couldn't pinpoint but making it our fault...

Feeling utterly nauseous we came in front of the temple so atleast we are in public area with ppl...we couldn't process what happened it was barely under 2 minutes....when i first saw the man...i felt bad for him because he looked a lil crippled and challenged so i didn't want to judge him...i couldn't even take a photo or punch him...it was so sudden.

When we left the temple I told the watchman about the guy and he said he'll find him...

Is this normal in Iskon??? Did the guy have no shame of where he was standing?? I was and am so ashamed...Vadodara is supposed to be the safest city! I've lived my whole life here and I never had a experience like this...and that in temple??

The reason im posting this half that i get this out of my mind and half so everyone else knows about this..

Some points I want to add:

1.The gates were closed for food time.

  1. I had only been to iskon once before.

Take care and thank you for reading!
