    New temple in Alberta

    So Canada will have another new temple, in the north. Congratulations to this small community of Hindus... All it takes is a few good men ..er, devotees.

    Vannakkam EM,

    Canada will have another new temple, in the north.
    Yaay! That's good to know. I salute them for making sure future generations of Hindus there don't lose touch of this amazing religion. Kudos to them again!

    Congratulations to Canadian Hindus on their plans for a new Hindu temple.

    Indraneela, I hope you are reading EM's posts. They are as sexist as before - 'All it takes is a few good men...'. Women are still being excluded.

    Pardon me, but could not resist.

    Pranam.

    PS, I see it is being built by a Bengalee family. So, the prasad sweets there are going to be exquisite. Yum! Yum!!

    Namast,

    EM, that's lovely news. Thank you for sharing it.

    Indraneela, I hope you are reading EM's posts. They are as sexist as before - 'All it takes is a few good men...'. Women are still being excluded.

    Believer, I would protest sexist remarks - but frankly, the men here do such wonderful jobs bickering over Internet things that I don't feel up to the challenge!

    It must be fun watching the tamasha going on here on a daily basis.

    Vannakkam: This IS a really small community, and I so admire them. Hopefully I'll be going up to meet them next week or so. There is one in the planning stages for Fort McMurray as well, but I know little about how they are doing. Sometimes a smaller community might be better because they all realise they have to compromise.

    Vannakkam EM,

    Yes exactly. That's how it usually starts, before becoming a full-blown public affair. The amount of intrigue and competition that might be present in a temple committee itself is subject to disgrace, what more of the devotees. This usually happens after a few generations, when power is the only thing in the mind.
