Join us for a guided tour of largest Hindu mandir (temple) in the United States and the second-largest Hindu mandir in the world !
In Sanskrit, Mandir means a place where the mind becomes still and experiences inner peace. Since Vedic times, India's sages have been enlightened with profound spiritual truths which have served as the foundation for their rituals, philosophies, scientific discoveries, and religious faith. As an expression of their spiritual faith, the yogis evolved and created beautiful Mandirs to uphold these traditions. In a similar token, this Mandir aims to serve as a place of understanding and appreciation of India's art, culture, and religion for generations to come. It is a sanctuary for countless men and women, who will be able to sustain their culture and heritage in the form of arts, language, music, and spiritual learning. The BAPS Shri Swaminarayan Mandir in Robbinsville, NJ inspires its visitors through its divinity, architecture, and humanitarian efforts.
In addition to a guided tour, our supervised temple visit will include the "Arti Ceremony" - an ancient Hindu offering made by waving lighted wicks before sacred images to the accompaniment of musical prayer and the "Abhishek Ceremony" - a special Hindu ritual of deep faith and devotion in an expression of reverence and a prayer for spiritual progress, peace and fulfillment of wishes.
LOCATION: The Temple (Robbinsville, NJ) is at least 1 1/2 hours away, about 15 minutes from Exit 8 on the NJ Turnpike. We will make every effort to assist with car pool arrangements, but do NOT assume we can find you a ride. We'll also need Drivers! Please email mcconkey.gwynne@gmail.com to let her know if you will drive and can take passengers in your car or if you need a ride. Be sure to indicate where you live.
Optional Post-tour lunch at Shayona Cafe on-site: With its all-vegetarian cuisine, Shayona Café is the way to experience some traditional and authentic tastes of India. You may select from various menu options at the fast food counter, sit down, and enjoy your fresh meal with friends and family. There is also a gift shop and extensive sweet/snack shop on site.
