Dublin Temple Opening Date Confirmed: Sunday 5th April 2009

We've got a date! On Sunday 5th April 2009 at 3pm, on the auspicious occasion of Ekadasi and the weekend of Lord Ramachandra's Appearance Day we will be celebrating the official opening of the brand new Dublin temple.

For those of you who are not familiar with the project it has been under construction for the past 3 years and has a total cost of €108,000.00 - and that's just the cost of materials. Thanks to the generous support of our many friends most of the labour was volunteered.

With thanks to everyone's support we have fundraised the majority of this money however we still need €9,000 in order to finish the required work for the April opening. Therefore we are seeking as many fundraising ideas and contributions as possible.

Please get directly in touch with us if you have any ideas and you can place a donation by simply clicking on the donate link below. Whether you donation is small or large it will be greatly appreciated and you will of course be credited with helping to build and open a temple. This is a very special opportunity for spiritual advancement that happens very rarely.

We invite you to join us for the special opening festival of the brand new Hare Krishna Temple and Community Centre in at 83 Middle Abbey Street, Dublin 1. We will be celebrating the opening with music, dance, a delicious vegetarian feast and of course the unveiling of the brand new altar and your first chance to see Their Lordships Sri Sri Panca Tattva. We look forward to seeing you then!

Please let me know how to make a donation by cheque. I would like to do this in my fathers name as it is his Birthday today.

Dear Geetha,

Thank you for your kind support - you can pay by cheque made out to 'ISKCON' and the cheque can be posted to ISKCON Temple, 83 Middle Abbey Street, Dublin 1 or dropped in the black letter box on the left-hand side of the entrance to Govinda's or given in person if you can make it to one of the 3pm Sunday programmes in the temporary temple room.

Alternatively you can contribute online by clicking on the Paypal donate link on each post on this blog.

Either way we will be very happy to acknowledge your father and greatly appreciate your support in the last few weeks before the auspicious opening of the new temple.
