We hope you, your family and friends are safe and cheerful during these difficult times. If Covid-19 seriously reduced your family income that you are unable to meet your essentials like food or medicine, please contact Anandji (512-545 9657) or Rashmi Bhai (610-868 1231) for HTS assistance, which will be kept strictly confidential. If thanks to Krishna’s Grace, your family is well protected, please spare few minutes to read what follows below; we all know that our temple is brimming with activities throughout the year. For all of us in Lehigh Valley, the temple is the place to congregate and celebrate religious events, cultural festivals and social gatherings. You also know how much it costs to run a family; now, imagine how many thousands of dollars the temple needs to spend to support all our expenses. During 2019, our total temple expenses are $240,064; that is annual expenses are over $20,000 per month. The temple management runs a very tight ship; we do not spend money easily; we pinch every expense to save money for the temple. We cannot meet our expenses without your financial support. Following the recession post 9/11, temple revenue dropped 31%. During the Great Recession, our temple revenue took a deep dive for five consecutive years!!! During the first four months of 2020, due to Covid-19 lockdown, temple revenue has already dropped a whopping $33,000. We are afraid that by year-end, temple revenue may drop over $100,000 unless we all act NOW. At the very least, please go to https://www.hindutemple-lehighvalley.org/ & begin/renew Annual Membership of $151. If you are able to donate more, this is the time that the temple badly needs all your generous financial support. We would be highly obliged if you can call your close friends/family to do the same. Lord Krishna protects all of us; it is our duty to make sure that His Home is financially stable. Thank You.

Hope you and your family here, and in India are safe and cheerful. Our heartfelt thanks to everyone, who helped make this fundraiser a big success; businesses that advertised in our brochure, our beloved Amrish Mishra from India to local artists, dancers, choreographers, and countless volunteers. A Big Thank You. We started the year with a bang on Jan. 1st with Lakshmi- Ganesh Puja followed by many pujas until Holi puja and then the Covid-19 troubles began. For the first time in HTS history, the temple closed its doors starting from March 15th. But Covid-19 could not dampen our spirits as Anandji and the Program Committee shifted gears to conduct religious and cultural events on Zoom !! We quickly learned to organize many pujas including Janmashtami, Ganesh Chaturti Maha Utsav, Mata Ki Chowki and Navratri celebrations sponsored by families both in person and over Zoom. Of course, other activities like Sai Bhajan, Balvihar, yoga classes and Bhagavat Gita classes continue to happen through Zoom. Finally, our Annual General Body Meeting and EC Election, which was postponed from April 25th, happened on August 30th via Zoom and the new EC team sworn in. What a tumultuous year indeed!! In addition, to meet the growing space requirements of the temple community, the management bought the house adjacent to the temple so that some of our activities can be conducted there. The management is also working tirelessly with the Hanover Township, and the engineering firm to expand the temple hall, basement, and few Murthis and additional parking spaces in the next 1-2 years. Unfortunately, we had to cancel Holi Celebrations, Thyagaraja Aradhana, Diwali Bazaar and other events, which greatly reduced temple revenue during this year. We are counting on your continued financial support to cover temple expenses. So, please become a paid member or renew your membership by donating $150. We urge you all to consider donating 1% of your annual income to our temple so that we can meet our temple community’s current and future needs. Krishna does not need anything from us other than love and devotion. He gives everything to us. Let us make His Home financially secure as our own homes. We wish you all Happy Diwali & a wonderful New Year 2021. (Photos from 2019) Thank you. Pattabi Neelakantan Neela Bera Chairman President Board of Trustees Executive Council 4 TEMPLE BULLETIN BOARD BHAGAVAD GITA VICHAR GROUP Bhagavad Gita and Vedanta Studies Group For all the HTS Poojas, please use Sessions are held every Thursday, 7:00 PM Zoom meeting ID 263 071 1139 to 9:00 PM .

  • Guide to 275 SIVA STHALAMS Glorified by Thevaram Hymns (Pathigams) of Nayanmars
    Guide to 275 SIVA STHALAMS Glorified by Thevaram Hymns (Pathigams) of Nayanmars -****- by Tamarapu Sampath Kumaran About the Author: Mr T Sampath Kumaran is a freelance writer. He regularly contributes articles on Management, Business, Ancient Temples and Temple Architecture to many leading Dailies and Magazines. His articles for the young is very popular in “The Young World section” of THE HINDU. He was associated in the production of two Documentary films on Nava Tirupathi Temples, and Tirukkurungudi Temple in Tamilnadu. His book on “The Path of Ramanuja”, and “The Guide to 108 Divya Desams” in book form on the CD, has been well received in the religious circle. Preface: Tirth Yatras or pilgrimages have been an integral part of Hinduism. Pilgrimages are considered quite important by the ritualistic followers of Sanathana dharma. There are a few centers of sacredness, which are held at high esteem by the ardent devotees who dream to travel and worship God in these holy places. All these holy sites have some mythological significance attached to them. When people go to a temple, they say they go for Darsan – of the image of the presiding deity. The pinnacle act of Hindu worship is to stand in the presence of the deity and to look upon the image so as to see and be seen by the deity and to gain the blessings. There are thousands of Siva sthalams- pilgrimage sites - renowned for their divine images. And it is for the Darsan of these divine images as well the pilgrimage places themselves - which are believed to be the natural places where Gods have dwelled - the pilgrimage is made.

  • Jai Karunamayi Om Gam Ganapataye Namaha
    Situated on the seventh hilltop of Tirumala, and located about 60 miles south of Amma’s Penusila Ashram, is the temple of Lord Venkateswara—the most visited place of worship in the world, and center of Hinduism. Lord Venkateswara, or Balaji as He is commonly known, is a form of Lord Vishnu who out of His Love for all incarnated in this age, the Kali Yuga, to uplift and relieve the suffering of humanity. His name translates as the Destroyer of Sins, and Lord Venkateswara (left) is praised unequivocally in the Hindu scriptures as the one who grants all kinds of wealth, and who can be sought for attaining moksha, or spiritual liberation. The murti, or statue, of the Lord found here stands majestically at 8 feet in height, adorned with gold and diamond ornaments. More exceptional yet, the deity itself is Svayambhu, or self born—no sculptor is credited with creating or installing the form of the Lord found here, rather it is a manifestation of the Divine. Devotees find peace and indescribable bliss in Lord Venkateswara’s company—it is difficult to imagine a greater blessing in one’s lifetime than to behold His glory in Amma’s Divine Presence. The Tirumala Venkateswara Swamy Temple houses the awe-inspiring Deity and is located on the Venkatadri hilltop, which is believed to be part of a celestial mountain brought to the earth from Lord Vishnu’s heavenly realm, Vaikunta. The ancient shrine has its roots in Vaishnavism, a sect of Hinduism advocating the principles of equality and love. In 2007, the temple surpassed the Vatican as the most visited place of worship, and today it hosts anywhere from 50,000 to 100,000 visitors, daily—a number which soars up to 500,000 during festival times.
