contact: Tej Tanden
We, at Om Temple, aim to improve the understanding of the Sanatan Dharma among Hindus and non-Hindus by encouraging a deeper understanding of the core philosophy expounded in our holy books. We encourage critical thinking to help the new generations connect with the ancient wisdom that has stood the test of time. We are focusing on achieving the Dharma ideals of:
- Vasudhev Kutumbkam (the whole earth is one family)
- By working towards universal acceptance of all religious faiths according to the Vedic Philosophy:
- All paths lead to God.
Om Temple's strategy consists of:
- Creating a modern, relevant, easy to use and understand knowledge base of Vedic philosophy, beliefs, culture and practices,
- Encouraging Hindus and others, particularly children, to really explore and understand Vedic philosophy and not just blindly follow rituals, and
- Encouraging Hindu communities to actively participate in social and faith related activities with members and clergy of non-Hindu communities to achieve better understanding of each other's faiths, culminating one day in religious harmony and acceptance.
