About <strong>Mandir</strong><br />
Information for International devotees<br />
Dear Sevak,<br />
We feel proud to tell you that with the grace of God and your great love & devotion, the <strong>Hindu</strong><br />
<strong>Mandir</strong> at <strong>Stockholm</strong> is flourishing.<br />
<strong>Mandir</strong> was opened in the month of August, 1998. We were dreaming for a <strong>Mandir</strong> in <strong>Stockholm</strong><br />
since 1985. A post giro account was opened in July 1986 and the money offered in small poojas at<br />
home was deposited in that account. At that time there were less than 1000 families in <strong>Stockholm</strong><br />
and it was not the right time to take a big step to open <strong>Mandir</strong>, but we were searching for a proper<br />
central place for <strong>Mandir</strong>.<br />
In summer 1998 we found a school building with very big garden and play ground for sale.<br />
A proposal was presented in a big hall (Tensta Träff) to the Indian community in <strong>Stockholm</strong> in the<br />
month of June1998. All families were positive and a decision was made to buy this property. We<br />
borrowed 75% of the price from a bank and 25% of the price was paid through donations.<br />
<strong>Mandir</strong> became reality in 1998. In these years we have built a brand new kitchen, a big garden<br />
with 40 Ashoka decoration trees, a library and a very beautiful “Alter” with a hall of sitting capacity for<br />
more than 200 people. We are putting our efforts for “MURTI STAPHNA” and we need help from<br />
devotees.<br />
