Fundraising for Mandir

Submitted by vimal.kumar on Mon, 04/30/2018 - 03:10

It is in a temple that we remember who we really are, and see with clarity, who we really can become!

Each one of us have our reasons to visit a temple, the occasions to visit a temple, the gods we feel close to. Some go for solace, some to seek answers, some for the positive energy, some quiet and peace and some because their parents have asked them to!

For many of us, a regular visit to the temple has been an integral part of growing up, of bonding with friends, of celebrating festivals. Seeking God’s blessings in happiness and in sorrow, whether it be a birth in the family, a marriage or the loss of a dear one – we go to the temple, to re-affirm our belief that all that happens is part of God’s plan!

An overwhelming majority at recently conducted public consultation session emphasised that our community needs a specific venue for faith and cultural activities in an accessible location.  A place that can be part of our daily lives – for our families, children and elderly to pray, meet, celebrate and learn!

We now have the opportunity to create such a place – having recently identified a potential location for the temple. Like all great temples in India and elsewhere – bringing this task to fruition will completely depend on active participation and financial support from all of us – hence this appeal.

‘Learning through culture and the arts leads to creative thinking, confidence and problem-solving – all skills which are prized by employers and which young people need. If we fail to offer our young people the opportunity to participate in the arts and culture, then we fail to support them in becoming the leading thinkers, innovators, creative business and community leaders of the future.’ say researchers.
