Why a New Temple?
There are scores of temples in and around Bangalore catering to the daily prayer needs of its citizen. But, each one located at different locations thus there is no temple situated for the benefits of local residents OF J.P.NAGAR (KOTHNUR DINNE ROAD). As a matter of fact, there is no Balaji temple situated within about 1.5 km radius in the 8th phase. Only a Meenakshi temple is there situated at a distance of about two km.
As the residents and bhaktas feel, it would be easier to access and to offer their daily prayer, to the Lord Sri Balaji, if a temple near their home can be built. Thus, the decision to erect a Balaji Temple of the Tirupathi Replica, at the location. Sure, it would immensely help not only the local residents, but many other surrounding neighbors too can take a peep at their available time. More so, this temple location would be at a location that would certainly benefit the Bhaktas and devotees of Sri Balaji to the 5-10 km radius.
PEOPLE MAY ask the question, "If LORD BALAJI is omnipresent and all-pervasive, why A NEED FOR A TEMPLE " When the sun BEATS DOWN, clouds that are formed by the sun's heat BLOCK the rays of the sun. The sun is not SEEN because of the clouds, when a strong GALE blows, the clouds are DRIVEN AWAY and the sun is visible again. Similarly, when the winds of love and faith blow, the clouds of doubt and egoism are scattered and LORD BALAJI reveals Himself. Though HE is omnipresent, man's lack of faith and his EGO prevent him from seeing HIM. To get rid of this doubting nature and egoism, certain spiritual METHODS have to be PRACTICED. ONE OF THEM WOULD where he is always seen is his TEMPLE. Hence our temple would be a meeting ground for the devotees
who need his darshan.
The purpose of the temple is the establishment of the bonds of love and fellowship among the devotees of J. P. NAGAR in particular, IS intended to be a source of knowledge and illumination to THE BALAJI BELIEVERS of Bangalore
IT WOULD BE A SYMBOL OF WORLD PEACE AND BROTHERHOOD OF MAN.
