The HTCC Board of Trustees adopted a standard policy regarding performance of various religious and cultural ceremonies by either of the priests at the request of the Yajmans (sponsors). It is requested that the sponsors (Yajmans) donate the amount indicated below, or more, for specific ceremonies. Please pay the amount by a check made to Hindu Temple and give it to the priest who performed the ceremony. If you choose to pay cash, ask and get a proper receipt. The priest will give the money and a copy of the receipt to our Treasurer. The objectives of the Individual Samskaras are several. The removal of evil spirits, invoking blessings from Gods for material gains, longevity and good progeny, are a few of these. Different Mantras are chanted and different gods are worshipped depending upon the ceremony.
Please contact a pandit for more information.
