"The gift derived from Goodness is given to one who does nothing in return, in a proper place, at a proper time, and to a worthy person." — Bhagavad Gita 17.20
Last week, we came together to celebrate Thanksgiving—a time to reflect on our blessings. This week, we invite our community to turn that gratitude into action.
Welcome to the HTCI Week of Giving.
Why a Week of Giving?
The Hindu Temple of Central Indiana is more than just a building of brick and mortar; it is the spiritual heart of our community. It is where our children learn their first shlokas in Balagokulam, where we celebrate the vibrancy of our festivals, and where we find peace in the presence of the Divine.
To keep this flame of Dharma burning bright, we rely entirely on the generosity of devotees like you. The "Week of Giving" is a focused effort to support the temple’s operations, maintenance, and future growth as we close out the year.
The Power of Daan (Charity)
In Sanatana Dharma, Daan (charity) is not viewed as a transaction, but as a spiritual practice. It is an opportunity to detach from material attachment and support the greater good. When you give to the temple, you are not just making a donation; you are making an investment in:
Our Culture: Preserving traditions for the next generation.
Our Facilities: Maintaining a clean, safe, and beautiful space for worship.
Our Community: Supporting educational programs, cultural events, and humanitarian outreach.
How You Can Participate
This week, we have a goal to raise $[Insert Amount] to support [Insert Specific Cause, e.g., winter maintenance / mortgage reduction / general fund].
Here is how you can make a difference:
Make a One-Time Donation: Every dollar counts. Visit [Insert Donation Link Here] to give securely online.
Become a Monthly Sustainer: Small, recurring donations provide the steady support we need to plan for the future.
Corporate Matching: Many employers in Indiana will match your charitable donations. Check with your HR department to see if you can double your impact!
Volunteer Your Time: Seva is a form of giving, too. Sign up to help with upcoming winter events.
Let’s Build Together
We have accomplished so much together as a community, but there is still much to do. Whether you can give a little or a lot, your contribution ensures that HTCI remains a sanctuary of peace and devotion for all.
Thank you for your continued faith, support, and generosity.
