A 14 million dollar Hindu temple and community center has been planned for Freeport in Trinidad and Tobago, according to reports. Construction of this proposed Lakshmi Narayan Temple will reportedly begin early next year. Custom carved marble from India will be imported for the construction which will follow ancient Vastu tradition. One-of-a-kind architectural marvel on this side of the Atlantic, this Temple will serve as a link between India and Trinidad-Tobago, reports suggest.
Meanwhile, eminent Hindu statesman Rajan Zed, in a statement in Nevada, United States of America, applauded efforts of Trinidad-Tobago community who were trying to raise this wonderful Hindu temple complex.
Rajan Zed, who is president of Universal Society of Hinduism, further said that it was important to pass on Hindu spirituality, concepts and traditions to coming generations amidst so many distractions in the consumerist society and hoped that this new temple complex would focus in this direction. He stressed that instead of running after materialism; we should focus on inner search and realisation of self and work towards achieving moksh (liberation), which was the goal of Hinduism.
D Raja Sekhar is reportedly the Chairman of the Lakshmi Narayan Temple Executive Committee while Kavindra Balgobin is the President. India-born religious leader Jyoti Shacharya Sri Sri Gajendra Kumar is also attached to the project.
