Canberra Hindu Mandir - Gungahlin

Hindu Practitioners of Gungahlin district require a temple closer to their
home to meet their spiritual and cultural needs complimented by the services
provided by other temples in Woden and Belconnen districts. The need
accentuated with the steady growth of Hindu Practitioners in Gungahlin as
reflected in the last Census. Strong demand by residents and their visiting
families, relatives and friends from overseas and interstate has brought
members of various Hindu Practitioners together to come up with a plan and
proposal for a temple in the fast growing Gungahlin district.

As a part of this drive, Canberra Hindu Mandir is incorporated and devotees
have commenced bhajans on the last Saturday of each month at Birrallee Scout
Hall.  Apart from this, few devotees have volunteered to do bhajans at their
homes on weekends to bring about awareness to the greater community.

Canberra Hindu Mandir is established to build a temple complex in North
Canberra/Gungahlin to provide facilities to the growing Canberra Hindu
population that requires about 5 to 6 Crores (approx. A$ 2.5 Million).

*  This temple will have three main deities – Lord Shiva and family, Lord
Balaji (and family), and Shirdi Sai Baba.
*  The complex will host a large Cultural Hall with commercial-grade kitchen
facility, a Hindu Heritage Museum and enough car park spaces.
*  Canberra Hindu Mandir will demonstrate community support for this project
to the Treasury.  This will be done through collection of Pledges.  The
pledged amount will be collected subject to the land allotment. We aim to
raise A$500,000 through Pledges.
*  We are working towards getting a Not for Profit status to the Canberra
Hindu Mandir Incorporated.
*  You can extend your support in cash and kind and volunteer to have
bhajan/satsang at your home to bring about awareness among your friends.
