Message from Our Guruji to all Devotees

I want to wish each and every one of you a very Happy New Year in 2020. I pray to Lord Raja Ganapathi to shower His blessings on you and your family, and to make this year one of peace, good health, and success for you all.

When I moved here from Albany, NY in 2005 and decided to construct this temple, there was no other temple nearby. I was moved by the rural landscape and the serene surroundings, which inspired me to build a temple resembling a traditional village temple in South India. From its humble beginnings in 2007, when we completed the Kumbabishekam, your temple has grown each year. As our devotee base expanded, we needed to increase space for devotees and parking. We successfully completed this expansion project in 2015.

The year 2018 was a significant milestone for the temple. We completed the installation of Lord Hanuman, Lord Bhairava, the Navagrahas, and Naga Devatas. We also installed the Dwaja Sthambam. This was a major project that began several years ago, and I am pleased to say that it was completed successfully with your continued support.

While much has been accomplished thanks to your support, there is still more work to be done. The main Gopuram needs to be completed. We already have the base structure in place, but the masonry work remains. These specialized skills are not readily available in the U.S., so we are working to bring skilled artisans from India. We also need to install the main gate. I am counting on your continued support to complete these projects and to help maintain the temple for our devotees.

The temple is more than just a building that houses the deities. When a devotee walks in, I want that person to leave their worries behind and experience a moment of peace. I warmly welcome you and your family to the temple and wish you all the very best in 2020.
