Days Inn & Suites Bentonville 2 Letter from the Board of Directors Hari Om. Welcome to the Grand Opening of the Northwest Arkansas Hindu Temple in Bentonville, Arkansas. Bearing witness to the opening of a new temple is a rare opportunity, and we’re delighted that you could join us on this auspicious and wonderful day. As you know, building this temple has been the dream of Hindus in this region for over twelve years, and we’re thrilled to finally realize this goal. This accomplishment is the result of a tremendous amount of hard work by many people in the HANWA community, and the BOD is both honored to represent these dedicated volunteers and hum- bled by the magnitude of their devotion to the cause. The beauty of HANWA is that each member can serve the Lord and the temple in his or her own unique way. Some devotees serve the religious needs of the community by regularly opening the temple, helping the Priest perform poojas, leading bhajans, and providing Prasad. Others invest their time and expertise in maintaining and improving the facility and grounds. We also have community members who drive the fundraising efforts that are essential to building a permanent temple like the one we are inaugurating today. Others cook and serve food to the many visitors we have during the various festivals we celebrate each year. There are many, many other ways in which people support the temple and these individual contributions add up to a strong, united temple com- munity. To all of the people who have made the temple construction possible, we thank you for your selfless devotion and leadership. This is a proud day for Hindus in Northwest Arkansas and around the world, and we will forever remember July 29, 2012 as a truly blessed occasion. 1 ~~~ Grand Opening of the Northwest Arkansas Hindu Temple on 07/27/2012 To 07/29/2012 ~~~ 07/27/2012 – Friday 6.00 PM to 8.30 PM Swastivachanam Vishwaksena Aradhana Punyahavacanam Sri Vishnu Sahasranama Stotra Parayanam Mrutsangrahanam Ankuraropana Soma Homam Vastu Homam Mangalasasanam 07/28/2012 – Saturday 9.00 AM to 12:30 PM 07/28/2012 – Saturday 5.00 PM To 8:00 PM Suprabhatam Sri Vishnu Sahasranama Strotra Parayanam Aradhana, Sevakalam Sri Rudra Homam Lakshmi-Gubera Homam Yantra Adhivasam Yantra Adhivasam Ashtottara Sata Kalasa Adhivasam Mangalasasanam Cultural Programs Teerthaprasada Goshthi Manglasasanam Teerthaprasada Goshthi 07/29/2012 – Sunday 9.00 AM To 2.00 PM Pradhana Dwara Torana Pooja Kamadhenu Pooja Alaya Pradakshina and Yantra Pratishtha Alaya Pradakshina and Vigraha Sthapana Astothara Kalasa Abhishekam Gopura Kumbhabhishekam Santi Kalyanam Chakrasnanam Aseervacanam Mangalasasanam Teertha Prasada Goshthi 2 ~~~ Grand Opening of the Northwest Arkansas Hindu Temple on 07/27/2012 To 07/29/2012 ~~~ Our Temple History The origins of HANWA date back to 1990’s, when a handful of Hindu families in Fayetteville, Arkansas, met in each other’s homes to sing bhajans, perform poojas, and keep their Indian heritage alive. In August 1999, the group decided to formalize its structure and establish by-laws, and HANWA was born. Over the next few years, HANWA steadily increased its membership, especially with devotees from Bentonville, which was becoming a center for the Indian population due the growth of its IT sector. In 2002, HANWA purchased a plot of land in Gentry, AR, with the intention of building a permanent temple there. In the short-term, the group sanctified a barn that existed on the property for use in conducting poojas and other events. After discussion among the community, the members decided that the main deity of the temple would be Krishna and the other deities of the temple would be Ganesha, Durga, Shiva, Lakshmi, and Venkateshwara. The community then put its focus on raising funds for a permanent structure, establishing the Deity and other Temple Sponsorships. HANWA commissioned an engineering firm to start drawing up site plans for the development of a temple building and started working with the city government to develop a paved road to serve the site. However, due to various external factors, the later effort did not show the hope for progress. By 2009, it was evident that the Gentry site no longer met the needs of a permanent temple, and a team of BOD members and other community leaders was formed to look for a new site. After an in-depth search and much discussion, HANWA moved in November 2009 to the current site in Bentonville, Arkansas. A Gita Yagna on November 28, 2009 consecrated the new temple, located in a house on the site. This new location put the temple in a more accessible position for the community, and enabled HANWA to increase the number of events from five per year to twenty or more per year. Fall 2010 saw the addition of the venerable Priest, Swami Venugopala Gattu, to the HANWA team for weekend temple hours and special events. His presence and knowledge added depth to the religious celebrations. Additionally, for the first time, devotees were able to engage priest services for their personal poojas, either at home or at the temple, through HANWA. In 2011, after the selection of an architect, work began on the site plans and temple design for the permanent temple. In preparation for temple construction, murthis were brought from India and Prana Prathishtas (Eye-Opening for the murthis) were held in separate events from December 2010 through June 2012. On October 9 2011, HANWA celebrated the Bhoomi pooja (Groundbreaking Ceremony) for the new temple. Throughout construction, the temple continued to function, supporting the religious needs of the community. In preparation for a new, permanent temple, HANWA launched “Bring Mathura to Arkansas” a major fundraising effort prior. Additionally, the community celebrated Holi on the Bentonville Square as a means of introducing the broader community to Hindu culture. Now, from July 27-29, 2012, HANWA is very pleased to be celebrating the Grand Opening of the Northwest Arkansas Hindu Temple, the culmination of many years of effort and the realization of a long-held dream.

Samudrala Education: Pancharatra Agama Experience: Sri Siva Vishnu Temple, VA---5 Years 3 ~~~ Grand Opening of the Northwest Arkansas Hindu Temple on 07/27/2012 To 07/29/2012 ~~~ Deities of our Temple Ganesha also known as Ganapati or Vinayaka, is one of the Deities best-known and most widely worshipped in the Hindu religion. Before celebrating any occasion, the first God that will be worshipped is Lord Vinayaka, to remove all obstacles. He is the supreme commander of Shiva Ganas. Because of His grace, we can earn education as well as wealth. Shiva is also called Bholenadh and Sankar. Shiva means "auspicious one" and He is a major Hindu Deity, and is the Destroyer or Transformer among the Trimurtis, the Hindu Trinity of the primary aspects of the divine. He is regarded as the most powerful God in Hinduism. To protect the world, Lord Shiva consumed poison and preserved it in his neck due to which His neck looks blue. That is why he is called Neela Kanta. Goddess Durga represents the power of the Supreme Being that preserves moral order and righteousness in the Creation. The Sanskrit word Durga means a fort or a place that is protected and thus difficult to reach. Durga, also called Divine Mother, protects mankind from evil and misery by destroying evil forces such as selfishness, jealousy, prejudice, hatred, anger, and ego. Lord Krishna is the eighth incarnation of Lord Vishnu, born in the Era of Dwapara. He is the embodiment of love and divine joy. He is born to destroy evil and establish Dharma. He preached Geetha to the world, the divine book Hindus read. Krishna is the Supreme Personality of Godhead, as described by the Vedas, the most sacred scripture of Hinduism. Lakshmi is the Hindu Goddess of wealth, prosperity (both material and spiritual), fortune, and the embodiment of beauty. She is the consort of Lord Vishnu. Also called Lakshmi , she is said to bring good luck and is believed to protect her devotees from all kinds of misery and money-related sorrows. Laksmi personifies wealth, riches, beauty, love, grace, charm and splendor. Tirumala Venkateshwara Temple is a Hindu temple in the hill town of Tirumala. Lord Venkateshwara is the Deity of this temple, the incarnation of Lord Vishnu in the Era of Kali. Vishnu himself came to help to protect people and save them in distress. Venkateshwara is also called Balaji, Srinivas etc. Tirumala is the richest temple in the world. 4 ~~~ Grand Opening of the Northwest Arkansas Hindu Temple on 07/27/2012 To 07/29/2012 ~~~ Why do we need Temples? ~ Ramakantha Rao Chakalakonda This is a normal question in every mind. We have sensory organs - mouth, eyes, nose, ear and skin. The very nature of human perception is confined to the inputs given by these sensory organs and it seems to be the only truth , something experienced by these, and nothing else. Unfortunately sense organs can only perceive that which is physical and because your perception is limited to the five sense organs. Everything that you know in life is only the physicality. Your body, your mind, your emotion and your life energies are all physical.
