Hanuman Mandir Of Greater Chicago

The hanuman temple of greater Chicago was the brainchild of Dr. Chandra Mohini Khurana, a renowned pediatrician and infectious disease specialist in the Chicago area. Dr. Khurana was a great Hanuman devotee who completely surrendered herself in selfless service and devotion to Lord Hanuman. She was inspired by Lord Hanuman to build the world’s first statue of Hanuman with two bodies one soul (Doo Mukhi). Dr. Khurana has a grand vision to establish a Hanuman temple and community center serving the needs of the Hindu community in the greater Chicago area. She worked tirelessly to see her vision come to fruition. She was a great leader who inspired the younger generation to follow the path of “Bhakti yoga”. Her love and devotion for Lord Hanuman fave her the much-needed strength to embark on the ambitious project. Dr. Khurana was instrumental in all aspects of the design and construction of the temple pouring her heart and soul into this lifelong project. Despite numerous health challenges, she remained deeply committed to her vision and with the divine grace of her, Lord Hanuman was able to direct the project completion. Her vision came to life in April 2016 when the Hanuman temple and spiritual center was officially opened to the community with a grand inauguration ceremony.
