It
is with great pleasure to welcome you
to the Shiva Shakti Center in Garfield,
New Jersey. It took a lot of sweat,
tears, planning and of course money
to open this beautiful devine temple.
This dream started in May 1999 when
a temporary temple was established in
the home of Shastri Dineshbhai Jani,
a few years later in 2004 a building
was purchased and construction started
shortly after in 2005. It was a long
road but we finally have built something
we can be proud of and have something
for the future generations to enjoy.
We
have named the temple Shiva Shakti Center
as a continuance of the old temple.
The temple is comprised of various deities
of Hindu religion. Therefore, everyone
from different backgrounds can come
and worship their own deity. This temple
will also be a place for the younger
generation to learn and understand our
Hindu religion, because we are here
today and gone tomorrow, but our future
generation needs to remember our roots.
We
would like to thank you all for your
support, generous donations and help
to make our dream possible.
