About Temple

Gaṇeśa is worshipped at the beginning of all undertakings as remover of obstacles. He is Son of Śiva and Pārvati (Durgā). His elephant head symbolizes wisdom; trunk implies dexterity (can easily uproot a tree as well as pick up a needle). Gaṇeśa seated on the mouse is to remind us to take control of our fickle minds and afflictions that harm us like what mouse does to a heap of grain! Special events in the temple include: Gaṇeśa Caturthi (Aug-Sep), Gaṇeśa Atharvashirsha Pāth (hymn from Atharvana Veda) every 4th Sunday and annual Gaṇa Homa in the Yāgashāla.

Seated on a lotus, Lakṣmi is the embodiment of purity, wealth, humility, charm, beauty, grace, generosity and prosperity. Lakṣmi is consort of Lord Viśṇu and pleads Viśṇu to grant liberation to devotees. She is ever ready to bestow devotees with true happiness. She also teaches us the religious values of life and higher self. Special events in the temple include: Lakṣmi Pūjā during the Divālī (Festival of Lights) during Oct-Nov; worship for nine days during the festival of Navarātri in the Fall season and Śrī Sūkta homa in the Yāgashāla (During the Summer season).

Rādhā is considered as the supreme Goddess of pure and selfless love and Kṛṣṇa is among the most celebrated incarnation of Viśṇu. Kṛṣṇa as universal teacher (Jagadguru) has given us the most comprehensive manual of life, The Bhagavad-gīta (The song-divine) – the most translated and most popular Hindu scripture. Special events in the temple include: Janmāṣṭami (birth of Kṛṣṇa) and Nandotsav (arrival of baby Kṛṣṇa to Goku)[Aug-Sep]. Tulsi-Vivāh (Kṛṣṇa weds Tulsi)[Oct-Nov] and Bhagavad-gīta Jayanti
