In a recent meeting our Guru Bhagawan, His Holiness Bangaru Adigalar, re-affirmed the temple design for our Sakthi Peetam in Chester Springs, Pennsylvania, consisting of the Moolasthanam, the Artha Mandapam, the Maha Mandapam, the Omsakthi Soolam and the applicable enclosures(for heating and cooling).We will leave enough space around the temple for expansion in the years to come. We will also have parking facilities, water/sewer systems, rest rooms, extension of electrical services and the extension of the driveway to the new parking facilities. Amma gave the blessings for the above plans and also kindly assigned Sakthi A.K.Venkatasamy,the treasurer of Siddhar Peetam,to provide assistance to us on behalf of Siddhar Peetam.
Sakthi A.K.Venkatasamy kindly visited U.S.A., consulted with our sakthi member devotees in group settings and in individual capacities and helped the executive committee of ACMEC of North America in developing time lines for the construction of the temple complex. The time lines were announced to our member devotees during our 2006 Adipooram festival which we celebrated on 3rd September,2006, in our Sakthi Peetam site in Chester Springs,PA. Also discussed were several fund raising strategies. On behalf of the finance committee Sakthi Sriram invited devotees, friends, families, corporations and sakthi mandrams to make significant contributions through their generous sponsorships of salient components of the proposed temple building.
