North Texas Hindu Mandir

Our History N.T.H.M. was formerly known as C.H.A.N.T, the Caribbean Hindu Association of North Texas. C.H.A.N.T. was created as the result of the death of a loved one and through the coming together to give comfort to each other. The founding members recognized that they needed to build a more permanent community to embrace and further their Vedic traditions and teachings of their ancestors that had left India over a century ago. This realization lead to the founding of C.H.A.N.T. in 1987. This group began to resurrect their traditions with the help of more knowledgeable members and guests. It was through that tenacity and welcoming hearts that the organization began to grow to include more devotees from the Indian diaspora. As time progressed this group continued their regular religious service in the homes of the various individuals, improving their knowledge and skills. In 2002, the members of C.H.A.N.T. made the next leap forward and sought out to establish themselves in a fixed location. With God’s grace, and the brave commitment by many devotees, this building was purchased to be the North Texas Hindu Mandir. Over time, more devotees have joined the organization and generously contributed to the Mandir. The original founders continue to support this beautiful organization with their regular presence and financial support. New devotees from all parts of the world are always welcomed and appreciated at this humble home of Sanatan Dharma. N.T.H.M. will always be indebted to its founders and supporters that keep this spiritual tradition strong and continue serving our local and greater communities. Our Mission Statement North Texas Hindu Mandir wants to promote Sanatan Dharma and Hindu Culture, provide a place of worship so regular services can be held and to celebrate the major Hindu festivals, and to assist in various charitable causes.
