Jayalakshmi Mata Hall is the original temple building and now houses the expanded kitchen facility, which provides food for the regular Annadaan services and Jayalakshmi Mata Cafeteria, spacious dining hall and multiple classrooms where regular classes for arts, music, violin, Bala Datta and Gita Mahayagna take place regularly.
Haramadava Temple boasts an expansive main hall, one of the largest in the US, spanning over 10,000 sqft. This grand space hosts all festivals, elaborate kalyana utsavs, and special events. Devotees visiting the main hall can have darshan of Marakata Hanumanji and admire the Hanuman Gopura, including the kalasha atop it, through the skylight. This Shikhara darshan is considered highly auspicious and is in accordance with Vastu Shastras.
Hinduism or Sanatana Dharma is the world’s oldest faith beginning thousands of years ago, and originates in the Indian subcontinent. It is characterized by an emphasis on dharma, karma, reincarnation, ahimsa (nonviolence), and viewing God as an energy present everywhere.
Adhering to or identifying with the faith tradition of Sanatana Dharma makes someone Hindu. There is a lot of diversity and freedom within the faith!
