Radha Ramachandran         9/9/2010 5:35:23 PM Classes to teach sosthras and chants Hello, I am not sure if the temple has organised any regular classes to teach young and old, the hindu sostras, prayers, chants or vedic chants etc... I feel that Temple has such GREAT resources, religous talent and learnings in their Temple Priests, that it will be nice to preserve it and passed on to young and old American/ indian people who wish to learn our poojas and vedic chants. Our Children will have a closer ties to our religous culture. I have heard Priest Gotham and others chant prayers. The priests are so talented, can they teach the future Indian generation in MN. It will be great to organise some clases. It can also be viable to have extra income for temple and the priest. This is just a suggestion. Thank you, Radha Submitted By: Radha Ramachandran Prasanna Kumar         8/29/2010 3:31:04 PM e-mailaddresses Unless there are reasons, it would be nice to put the e-mail addresses of the committee members. It is not always possible or convenient to call, and an e-mail address would be most welcome. Submitted By: Prasanna Kumar Temple Management         8/3/2010 1:03:02 PM Event Mismgmt Thank you for your feedback, we apologize of any inconvenience. The Temple Management will look into designating an alternate route for the regular devotees during special events (whether Temple Sponsored or Private Party Events). As our Temple traffic increases we need to be considerate of the needs of several groups. A wedding is an auspicious, once in a life-time occasion for the family. We could also plan to have an outdoor pre-arranged area (by the lawn) specially set up for special family photography sessions. Thank you Sincerely Temple Management Submitted By: Temple Management Prashanth         8/2/2010 3:01:30 PM Event Mismgmt I agree that a wedding is a very special day for anyone, and the temple deserves the much needed financial help it can get, BUT the weekend wedding the temple was a big inconvenience to the regular devotees. The wedding party held the entrance way hostage for quite a long time for the photography session and didn't budge to show any mercy to the in-out traffic. In fact one of the folks were very rude as my parents were waiting along the entrance way, as it affected their picture taking session! There's some lesson in Hindu culture at the very place we are trying to instill it. I wish the temple management thinks deeper when hosting such private events. Especially ensuring neither parties are affected by keeping the pathways separate for one. Submitted By: Prashanth Gewan Samlal         7/7/2010 12:15:19 PM Kena Upanishad Lectures Namaste to the management and devotees of the Temple. I have been a devoted follower of the Kena Upanishad lectures and Gita lectures offered by the Temple. I was not able to get the month of June lecture and I was wondering if there was an issue with web site and I was un-able to access it. The Kena Upanishad one of the most sort after text in Hindu teachings. The great Adi Shankara Acharya who had seen it fit as a text with such virtue, he wrote 2 commentaries on it and it was the only Upanishad that he saw necessary to give his attention in such a way. It is a blessing that the temple decided on the Kena Upanishad as the first Upanishad to teach. With Sri Krishna blessing I would really like to have it posted as always. My sincere thanks and gratitude to all from the Temple who have been making this possible. Submitted By: Gewan Samlal Gewan Samlal         5/13/2010 6:09:06 AM Audio Podcast Namaste to the temple management. I would like to sincerely express my deepest thanks and gratitude for the audio podcast and its content. Dr. Sane, Prof. Rambachan and Prof. Kumar lectures and teaching has and continue to be a place one can turn to for the words of god. I live in Toronto Canada and I use the temple services on a daily basis, I have also shared this site with family members as well. You are doing great work in the lord name and may the blessing of the lord be showed on you the devotees of this great temple. The Kena Upanishad is not something that is available anywhere in the way it is being taught at the temple. This text needs a teacher with the pedagogy methods only one with this knowledge to really expound and bring to us in the way that it is being done at the temple. There are many people who have the knowledge to teach this way, but it is rare to find someone who is willing to share this unique with all and in this format. I want to say thank you especially to D Lori Bogren         3/30/2010 9:54:57 AM An Archana Dear Subra, I wanted to thank you again for all your assistance and information. I attended the mandir on Friday for a puja to Saraswati. I find her temple, and her to be very beautiful. The priest who performed the puja was Joshi and he was very kind and helpful as well. Thank you, Lori Bogren Submitted By: Lori Bogren Gewan Samlal         3/19/2010 12:35:41 AM Kena Upanishad Namaste, I have following the lectures by Dr. Rambachan. It has been very enlightening to me and my family since I live in Toronto Canada. I would like to sincerely thank the temple for posting the lectures on the web site. The Feb lecture was some how cut short, please post the complete lecture because I am waiting for the conclusion of this lecture. Gewan Submitted By: Gewan Samlal Sharon Paul & Peterjee Clark         3/12/2010 12:22:46 PM Thank you for the lovely HOLI Festival! Thank you for the lovely HOLI Festival! My boyfriend and I spent the day at your Mandir that is absolutely gorgeous. The staff went above and beyond our expectations. The HOLI show was spectacular and the dancers were wonderful! My boyfriend (who does yoga) is a big fan of Lord Shiva was kneeling and saying prayers to "Him". My boyfriend also participated in prayer services to Lord Vishnu with a group of worshippers. I must say he is absolutely phenomenal and he knew exactly what to do. My boyfriend and I study Hinduism & Buddhism, so we were quite sure of ourselves. Your staff was so wonderful, that before the food bazaar opened for the HOLI festival, the staff gave us meals that were somehow left-over from the day shift. Thank you for inviting us to your place of worship. It is really amazing. Someday, I would love to have a personal tour of the place. Be sure to let your staff know how wonderful they were during the festival. Your staff and Mandir really made my day!
