Why should my family be part of this fund 
The society can only promote Hinduism to the community and most importantly to our children if we are all united and share the vision and objectives of the Hindu Society of Saskatchewan. Having and maintaining a place of worship is the first step towards that goal but it comes at a cost. It costs approximately $50,000 every year for utilities and building maintenance with mortgage payments and building repairs are extra expenses. Without your support, the society will be unable to fulfill the long term obligations in maintaining your place of worship and organizing Hindu festivals. With a donation of $20/month (
0.65 cents a day, less than the cost of a cup of coffee), your donation will ensure the society is able to move Hinduism forward in the future. More importantly, I would like the community to think about how difficult it is when a devotee passes away and the Temple simply cannot provide priestly services to the grieving family. Remember, we can plan many of our prayers requiring a priest in advance down the road but
NOT when someone passes away and a priest is required within a limited time to perform funeral rituals. As a community, we can agree that we should be supportive when a community member is grieving and I request every devotee to be part of the
priest hiring solution. The running of the Temple is the responsibility of all devotees and not for the board members who are only here as your facilitators. I would request devotees to please not look the other way and join the other donors who signed up to support this fund.
Worried of being in crowded situations due to Covid-19? How does this Darshan Fund give you unique access to Temple? All interested devotees who signed up can have daily darshan access to Mandir whenever convenient to them with a proximity access card between 6:00 a.m. – 8:00 p.m. to get access beyond regular opening hours. Think of it like a gym membership where you get access in and out the doors of the facility on your own time using a proximity scan card. Many devotees are still unable to come to Temple congregations due to Covid-19 concerns; however, with the introduction of the access card, Temple is accessible to devotees at any time without fear of the virus. It’s customary for Hindus to go to Mandir even for 2-5 minutes of Darshan everyday and for other instances like before heading to work/school, on birthdays/anniversaries, before job interviews and exams, remembering special people in our life, silent meditation, etc.
Where will the Temple use the fund collected? The board has been getting many calls from many devotees and newcomers that they need a priest. It's now turning more into a complaint, rightly so, how come the Temple has no assigned priest? How is the community going to perform rituals, ceremonies, festivals, personal/family prayers like naming a newly born baby, purchase of a car and house
