Hindu Temple Lakshmi Narayan Mandir & its History.

The Dream
It was a dream of the leading members of Canada's Indian Community who regularly gathered at somebody's house for prayer meetings. These prayer meetings often lead to discussion for the need for a religious and cultural center. A site where prayer and meditation might take place; where our children and grand children might learn about and celebrate their culture; where pujas and Hindu festivals would be celebrated; where Hindus living in the area and in America would be given that which they cherish most - their heritage.
