Rs 109 crore Hindu temple in London

[/INDENT][INDENT]

[/INDENT][INDENT]

London has a new spiritual landmark.

[/INDENT][INDENT]

A sprawling Shee Sanatan Hindu Mandir, the new Hindu temple at Wembley, finally opened on Monday following 14 years of construction. The temple is believed to have cost more than 16 million pounds (about Rs 109 crore).

[/INDENT][INDENT]

The magnificent temple has been built using the ancient temple architecture methods associated with Hinduism.

[/INDENT][INDENT]

A majority of the portions of temple are hand-carved in limestone. The hand carving was done at the small Gujarat town of Sola. The hand-carved pieces were transported and pieced together at Wembley.

[/INDENT][INDENT]

The temple houses 41 hand-carved Hindu deities, all made in pure marble.

[/INDENT][INDENT]

Shee Sanatan Hindu Mandir houses deities of Lord Shiva, Sita Ram, Srinathji, Radha Krishna, Ambaji, Ganesha, Hanuman, Mahadevi or Durga and Tirupati Balaji.

[/INDENT][INDENT]

The temple covers 2.4 acres (9,712 square metres) on the Ealing Road and, at its highest point, is 66 feet (20 meters) tall.

[/INDENT][INDENT]

Its bright sand-coloured walls stand out in stark contrast to the modest surroundings.

[/INDENT][INDENT]

The opening ceremony of the temple began with the pran pratishtha ritual to infuse the spirit of the Almighty into the pratimas (statues).

[/INDENT][INDENT]

Ajay Jobanputra, governor of Shri Vallabh Nidhi UK, the charity that raised the funds to build the temple, told the BBC that he hoped the temple would provide a place of worship for all Hindus, and those of other faiths.

[/INDENT][INDENT]

"Famous spiritual leaders and forms of Gods from other religions are also featured in the carvings, such as Mother Teresa, Sri Guru Nanak Dev Ji, Meerabai, Lord Swaminarayan and many more," he said.

[/INDENT][INDENT]

"The message being promoted is of Vasudev Kutumbakaum, a Hindu term to describe the world as one big family," he added.

[/INDENT][INDENT]

The authorities and priests feel that the temple would add to the charm of the area, and is expected to draw huge crowds, both from UK and other European countries.

Great , mind blowing. It is ironic that today whole India is celebrating its 63 year independence and all our media try to tell our history is from 63 or 93 years. But all these temples can show how much history we have. India is a place which in present world which have its LIVE connect to the ancient history.

History Channel: People who don't have history (Americans) tell us about history.But it shd be us who have abundant history who shd be telling history to whole world.

It always happens, btw,..
they are the one who also discuss the most about "family values" too !!! :wink :wink [ An empty vessel makes the most sound ! ]

The sorry fact is,
like someone has already said,..
" the only thing that the Men has to learn from the History is, that the Men has learnt nothing from the History !! " :(:(

..........................otherwise, after watching the Mahbharat, Ramayana, Kaling, WW-2,... etc . there would never had been any more wars on this planet ,
and our World would be a ( Sone Ki Nagari, Krishna's org. Dwaarika ) safe heaven of peace, pleasure and prosperity, by this time, now !! :(:(:(:(
