The first two phases of our Temple's construction were completed with Temple's Prana Prathistapana in 2005 with a total cost of $1.5 Million and nearly $500,000 debt. The debt was paid off in 2008 thanks to the generosity and commitment by our devotees. The Temple was debt free for nearly 10 years.
Major change to our Temple campus was unveiled as Temple's Vision 2020 in the year 2009. Nearly 10 years later, we have accomplished all of the elements of Vision 2020 (please see below) with the exception of creating ponds. We have spent $3 Million with a current debt of $300,000.
We want to pay off this debt as soon as we can and make our God's home debt free again.
For many years, most of Temple's fundraising has been through volunteering devotees sponsoring Temple Festivals/ Poojas or doing seva to serve food and raise funds.
We will continue on the same path to retire our current debt.
Please see below how you can sponsor forthcoming Temple festivals, daily, weekly and monthly poojas for the year 2019-20 and seek blessings for you and your family. Your annual subscription will run from this year's Brahmotsava to next year's.
As always, you can be present to do the sankalpam and participate in Pooja/ Abhishekam(s) or the Priests will conduct the requested pooja/abhishekams on your behalf. A log is maintained by the Priests to ensure that the sankalpas are made as per your subscriptions.
