Dear Sree Venkateswara Devotees:

I am delighted to bring to your kind notice the latest news on Sree Venkateswara Temple of Cleveland. I am sure you are already aware of the fact that we have moved from the proposal stage, involving wide and varied discussions with everyone interested, to the unanimous decision to build a new temple for Lord Venkateswara as the practical and viable option.

The site selection process is in full gear to find suitable land and location that will meet the strict requirements of Vasthu Sastras. I am also glad to report that substantial progress has been made in this regard that awaits only a final choice.

I am gratified with the initial support and encouragement shown by the large attendance at the ‘Rukmini Kalyanam’ dance program presented by Dr. Kamala Reddy and Party at Tri C-Metro campus on October 28, 2006.

It is a great opportunity for all of us to be part of building of Sree Venkateswara Temple right from its beginning stages and I seek your concrete support and proud participation through generous donations. Sree Venkateswara Temple of Cleveland will exemplify the rich traditions and values of our culture that combine religious worship with music, dance and related community services. Sree Venkateswara Temple will add to the synergy of our community service/worship opportunities in Cleveland and the surrounding areas.

The temple welcomes your suggestions, inquiries, and donations that are tax-deductible. Your donations and pledges for donations will be the key to the success of this temple whose goal is to meet your personal worship values in accordance with the Agama Sastras of Hindu temples. For your convenience and favor of a donation, a list of “choices” is attached.

Please feel free to call me at 330-668-1255 or visit our website at www.balajiusa.org and I take this opportunity to welcome you to the Temple meetings.
