A NETWORK
FOR HINDU TEMPLES
The mission of the Global Hindu Temple Network is to create a shared consciousness among the temple communities - and Hindus at large - with the common purpose of protecting and propagating the Hindu religion and way of life.
"Let us come together, talk together, let our minds be in harmony, common be our prayer, common be our purpose, common be our deliberations, united be our hearts, united be our intentions, perfect be the union among us."
- Rig Veda 10.191.2
