Mandir News

May 2012 (Updated!)

We need your help! Our temple is going through a wonderful transition, to make worship more accessible by moving our monthly public puja to a larger public space. This is a rented space with a fireplace for homa.

Olimometer 1.43
We have to raise $2500 to ensure we can use this space and continue to conduct formal worship for the remainder of 2012.

We've made it to our original goal of $500, and you can help us make it through the rest of the year!

You can help by making a tax-deductible donation today »

  • Durga and the Shakti Within

    During Durga Puja, I invite you to become more aware of the presence of Shakti in all things.
