SHREE MAHALAKSHMI TEMPLE |
|
Shree Mahalakshmi
Temple was established on January 31, 1990 under the auspices of Shree Vidya Pitam.
Dedicated to Goddess Mahalakshmi, this holy place of worship was established under
the able guidance of
Shri Prameya Chaitanya, the Acharya-in-charge, whose vision
of leading the community both through Bhakti Marg as well as Jnana Marg became a
reality with the establishment of Shree Mahalakshmi Temple.
All the festivals of
the Hindu calendar are celebrated here in accordance with the vedic tradition. The
murti of Lord Lakshmi Vinayaka was installed in the year 1993 and the murti of Lord
Hanuman was installed in the year 2000 at the temple.
The modern day no doubt abounds in comforts provided by science and technology,
however even the most sophisticated equipment cannot bring the mental calm, that
is so essential for happiness. Building inner courage and strength is only possible
through prayer. In the present day and time the only guarenteed protection is Divine
protection and to receive this one needs Divine Grace. This grace is invoked
by puja and prayers and by participating in Mahayagnas and worship. Since the installation
of the murti of Lakshmi Vinayaka and Lakshmi Anjaneya, devotees initiated to the
mantra, by the priest, participate in Japa sessions held every Chaturthi day for
Lord Ganesha and every last Saturday of the month dedicated to Lord Hanuman. Also
japa is offered to Mother Mahalakshmi on every full moon day.
Prayer to Lord Hanuman is said to bring intellectual strength , fame, courage and
fearlessness. Every year, a nine day prayer and yagna of Lord Hanuman is conducted
at the temple, which is attended by a large number of devotees.
To create a social
awareness and to bring out the budding talents of our youngsters in the community,
the temple organizes a cultural event to celebrate the festival of Holi every year.
The regular activities of the temple include satsang on Mondays dedicated to Lord
Shiva, between 7.30 -8.30pm , which includes chanting of Shiva stotras and meditation
