Due to long weekend, there was minimal activity on the construction front to report this week. In the current structure, the openings for skylight all the way up three stories is clearly visible. We can literally feel and comprehend the actual size of this magnificent temple, which is breathtaking. More updates are coming soon.
Phase-2: June Update
Construction Update
A magnificent temple for our deities Sri Sri Radha Shyamsundara will manifest in the heart of Naperville. The temple is coming up on a 2.89-acre plot with an approximate 23,000 sq. ft built-up area, where the deities can be worshipped in a befitting manner. For the convenience of visitors and devotees, this temple will have facilities for bhakti-yoga studio, classrooms for children’s education, gift shop, multi-purpose hall, commercial kitchen, a larger parking lot and much more.
The temple has a core congregation of sixty families dedicated to the ISKCON Founder Acharaya His Devine Grace Srila Prabhupada’s mission. These families engage in serving the deities, cooking, cleaning, receiving visitors and many more services.
It is inspiring to see more visitors coming to the temple and partaking in activities.
With your co-operation, the construction is going on very smoothly.
