THE CONTEXT:

ISKCON, or the Hare Krishna movement, was founded by A. C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada. ISKCON's purpose is to educate people from all backgrounds, races, and ethnicities on the importance of spiritual life and on how to practice spiritual life, to transform the material self-centered identity into a spiritual identity of unconditional love, to enhance spiritual awareness, benefit the devotees, and contribute to the well-being of humanity.

THE BACKGROUND:

A new temple is being built at Hubli -Dharwad. Strategically located on a hillock alongside the Bengaluru to Pune national highway this is called the Sri Radha Krishna Temple and Cultural Complex, Hubli-Dharwad. This will also have a Sri Srinivasa Govinda temple and multiple other facilities and amenities.

This magnificent project aims to celebrate India's rich heritage and diverse culture. The temple complex will cover an area of around 5.5 acres and the combined built-up area of the main Sri Radha Krishna temple and Sri Srinivasa Govinda temple will be approximately 2,25,000 square feet. 

Once constructed it will be the largest temple complex in North Karnataka. So large that in the first 10 years, it is estimated that it will have a footfall of 20 million visitors.

The construction cost for the overall complex is estimated at INR 67.5 Crore. In the first phase of construction, a cost of INR 19.77 Crores has been budgeted. Approximately INR 10.4 Crore has already been raised and paid to suppliers as advance to get work started (Read the full story for all the details). 

There is a need to raise another INR 9.37 Crores to complete the 1st phase.

Through this crowdfunding campaign, I and other like-minded well-wishers are coming together to raise as much as possible to get to the INR 9.37 Crore requirement. Work has already started and the first phase is expected to be completed by AUGUST 2024.



There already exists a make-shift temple of Sri Krishna Balaram at this location. This is already a major spiritual destination in the twin cities.Once the new temple complex comes up it will attract many more visitors. This demonstrates the significant impact and popularity of the temple as a cultural and religious destination.

Watch this video to get a better understanding of the ongoing project. 

THE INITIATIVE:

This crowdfunding campaign of mine is to help raise funds to complete the construction of Phase 1 of the temple. What we do today will have an impact on crores of visitors and devotees for decades to come. Funding has 80G tax benefits and large funders will be recognized on the wall of gratitude ( see details below in the story).

The primary objective of the temple complex is to provide education and guidance on spiritual life to people of all backgrounds, races, and ethnicities. It aims to promote understanding and practice of spiritual principles, fostering a deeper connection to inner values and a more meaningful way of living. 

The Sri Radha Krishna Temple and Cultural Complex, Hubli-Dharwad is not envisaged just as a building - it aims to tell a story that combines history, art, and the feeling of being connected to something greater.

Additionally, it will serve as a platform for students to learn, will serve food to thousands of people, will have a multimedia theatre for cultural performances, a heritage auditorium, a library, a marriage hall, a ghosala, guest houses, a restaurant, etc.

ABOUT ME:



My name is Prashant Mannapur. I am a concerned citizen. This campaign of mine aims to support the construction of this magnificent Sri Radha Krishna Temple and Cultural Complex in Hubli- Dharwad, Karnataka.

I came forward to support the vision of the temple as it will impact millions of people. Just in the first 10 years, it is estimated to have 2 crore ( 200 lakh) visitors. I am thrilled that I have this opportunity to raise funds for a cause with a greater purpose. I firmly believe that if we all come together and do our little bit we would create something that will be remembered for generations.

The total funds required to complete Phase 1 of the Sri Radha Krishna Temple and Cultural Complex in Hubli-Dharwad, Karnataka is huge. So please fund generously. Any amount big or small will be needed to make this dream come true. Together, let us create a sanctuary of solace and unity, a place where the spirit soars and where generations of people will come and find inspiration and peace.
