Why should we help fund building this Temple and Cultural Hall?

• A temple serves as a center for learning and spiritual education.
  
  
• A temple offers an "oasis" or quiet place in a rushed and high pressure world.
  
  
• A temple instills and reinforces traditional values in the younger generation and acts to counter the influence of the modern materialistic culture.
  
  
• A temple is a place for fellowship and friendship.
  
  
• A beautiful temple stands as a symbol of community pride proclaiming the depth and richness of India's Vedic culture.
  
  
• An attractive temple serves as a magnet to draw the general public to learn about and to respect Vedic wisdom and culture.
  
  

Here is another way of looking at it. So many of us live in nice houses. Shouldn't the Supreme Lord also have a nice place as His home? If just once in our life, we gave 5% to 10% of the value of our house, this beautiful temple for the Supreme Lord could be built immediately. In the service of the Lord, it is our duty to make this humble appeal. Please contribute generously to this exciting project.

Of course, only you know what is a reasonable and possible pledge for your personal situation. We are genuinely grateful for whatever help you can offer. Remember, this is one of those once-in-a-lifetime chances to call down Lord Krishna's mercy. You will get the satisfaction of knowing that you have played a role in giving this wonderful gift to your children, your community, and to future generations.

Home Hundis

We have made up a large stock of "home hundis", a nicely decorated can with a slot on top for dropping those coins in. Put it in a handy place and drop that change in and you'll be surprised how it adds up.

Get one for your Home, Office and Store Today!!!!

You know that change in your pocket or bottom of your purse? It doesn't add up to much and where to put it? Well, here is how what you won't even miss can work wonders. Join the $1 Dollar a Day Club.

Pick up a Home Hundi today, put it in a handy place and drop that change in. Then, once a month, bring it to the temple or we can stop by with some maha-prasadam sweets and pick it up monthly for you.

Just imagine if we have one hundred cans at $1 a day adding up to $30 a month. That is $3000 a month or $36,000 a year ...and that's no small change.
