Important Announcements

धर्मो रक्षति रक्षितः (Dharmo Rakṣhati Rakṣhitaḥ)
(Dharma protects those who protect Dharma)

We extend our heartfelt gratitude for your continued devotion and support of our temple. To maintain the sanctity and purity of our sacred space, we kindly request your cooperation with the following guidelines:

Satwik Prasadam

Please Bring Satwik Prasadam Only: (vegetarian with no garlic or onion)

We understand that many devotees trust and partake in the prasadam offered within the temple, assuming it is strictly satwik.

Therefore, we request that all prasadam brought to the temple premises be strictly satwik, meaning vegetarian with no garlic or onion.

This ensures that the spiritual purity of the offerings is preserved for all.

Strictly vegetarian prasadam
NO shoes in kitchen or inside temple
Respect/ensure spiritual purity for all

Parking Reminder

As we come together to celebrate the upcoming temple festival, we kindly remind everyone to strictly follow parking regulations in and around the temple premises.

Despite our repeated warnings, it is unfortunate that some vehicles received infringement notices from ACT Government authorities due to illegal parking. This not only causes inconvenience but also reflects poorly on our community gatherings.

Let’s uphold the spirit of the festival with mindfulness and respect for our surroundings. Your cooperation will help us maintain harmony and avoid unnecessary penalties.

Thank you for your understanding and support.

✅ Please ensure:

Park only in designated areas
Avoid blocking driveways, footpath and/or emergency access
Follow signage and local council guidelines

Kids at the Temple

The children must not be left alone inside the HTCC premises including temple and Shanti Niketan and must always be kept under the SIGHT & SUPERVISION of their parents / guardians at all times.

The devotees and children are strictly prohibited from entering the Shanti Niketan Hall at all times unless attending an authorised function in the hall.

HTCC Management Committee

It is equally important for you and your kids/siblings’ character building, other devotees’ peace and kids’ mental and physical health and safety.

Not to be left unattended
NO entrance in Shanti Niketan
Preserve sanctity and peace

NO Dumping at the Temple

Please Do Not Bring Old and Broken Murti or Photo to Temple:

We kindly request that you avoid bringing old or broken murtis or photos of Gods and Goddesses to the temple premises for disposal.

Please make arrangements for the respectful disposal of such murtis at your home following appropriate religious customs. Please contact us for guidance.

We respect your feelings and faith BUT…

Your cooperation in adhering to these guidelines will help us maintain the sanctity and spiritual atmosphere of our temple. We appreciate your understanding and continued devotion.
