RADHA KRISHNA TEMPLE
The Radha Krishna Temple was inaugurated in November 1998

The installation ceremony (prana pratistha) of the Deities was conducted by Shree Rameshbhai Oza.

The Deities
The Hindu Philosophy is rooted in the concept of Sanatana Dharma. It is based on the Vedic texts (Veda=Knowledge), millennia-old texts that are important philosophical and metaphysical Treatises, also including detailed information on a wide variety of aspects such as Science, Art, Linguistcs, Architecture, Astronomy and Psychology.
According to this concept, the Universe is a set of interconnected phenomena governed by intangible forces.
In other words, science and spirituality go hand in hand when it comes to interpreting the world and the phenomena of life. The Hindu Pantheon features a whole series of Deities, who represent precisely the energies that govern the Universe. These energies are present both inside and outside of us, and manifest themselves in the form of the Deities we see in Hindu temples. The sculpted forms are called ‘murtis’ and are built according to precepts set out in the Vedas.
The daily rituals performed to these Deities, as well as on special dates, aim to make us aware of what they represent and to honour this energy.

Calendar
Since the time of the ancient Vedic culture, the lunar calendar has been used
in Hindu celebrations.
The solar calendar was later adopted by various cultures, particularly in Europe,
but in astronomical terms it is important to maintain the rigour conferred by the continuity
of the lunar calendar. Check the Panchang calendar via the link.
