We are very excited to share this video showing the incredible progress on the temple construction. It is really exciting to witness history in the making!
Over the past few years, by your combined and generous help we have raised and spent about $4.5 million (for land purchase, design and legal costs, underground storm-water drainage system and foundation work).
We need roughly another $1.9 million in new donations to reach our goal of moving into our new temple.
This temple will serve the community for many generations to come - be a part of this incredible legacy. Hare Krishna.

Your tax-deductible donation will:
1. Help build this magnificent temple that will be your spiritual oasis at all stages of your life.
2. Go toward promoting Sanatana Dharma (eternal Vedic religion) across generations, cultures, languages and races.
3. Add to your spiritual happiness. Giving is receiving and our teachings have shown that those who give toward the building of a temple of the Lord receive innumerable spiritual blessings for themselves and their families.
4. Support the distribution of free prasadam. Thousands of free, nutritious meals have been distributed by our temple since the start of the year even though we have remained closed for most of these months. The new temple will allow us to greatly expand this wonderful service to the community.
5. Ensure that future generations in this country will benefit from the rich and uplifting pure message of the Gita as taught by Srila Prabhupada.
6. Join many other broad-minded and generous individuals who have already given collectively over $4.5 million to this successful project.
Therefore please consider giving generously to this worthy cause.
