Magnificent Radha-Krsna Temple ISKCON Parsippany
EXCITING NEWS!

After years of hard work in securing prime land, resolving legal aspects, developing the most intelligently designed temple and acquiring permission to construct we are very excited to announce NEW MILESTONES IN THE CONSTRUCTION of the New ISKCON Parsippany Temple.

The excavation and footings for most of the building have been completed. Concrete walls of most of the lower level areas are up and visible.

We have already raised and spent about $ 4 million (land purchase, legal services, design services, preliminary site-work and stormwater drainage systems)

We have received a bank loan of $ 2 million and we need to raise another $2.5 million to complete the construction such that we can move into the new building and serve the community. Our immediate goal for this year is $500,000.

Radha Krishna Deity Fund - Parsippany Temple
With immeasurable joy and elation in our hearts, we would like to share perhaps the most important milestone in our journey to build a new ISKCON temple in Parsippany.

For decades, many members of our temple community have had a sincere desire to worship deities of Sri Sri Radha Krishna. We received preliminary approval from ISKCON's Deity Worship Ministry to obtain and begin worship of deities of Sri Sri Radha and Krishna at our new temple, ISKCON Parsippany after discussions with the Deity Worship Ministry to develop a suitable and sustainable standard of worship for Their Lordships.

Srila Prabhupada wrote that the "worship of Radha-Krishna Deities is the ultimate pinnacle of deity worship." Thus, this moment is one of tremendous gratitude and excitement as we eagerly prepare to welcome Sri Sri Radha Krishna to Parsippany and work in a spirit of devotion and cooperation to complete and offer a magnificent temple to Them and, subsequently serve Them together as a community. "This is very important business, Deity worship. The more the Deity is decorated, the more your heart will be decorated with Krishna consciousness.” (Srila Prabhupada Letter, October 7, 1974)

We have retained Pandey Murti Walla from Jaipur, India to carve the most beautiful and exquisite deities of Sri Sri Radha Krishna. The legendary Pandey family has carved the majority of deities in ISKCON, especially during Srila Prabhupada's time. The deities will be carved over the next several months and a member of our temple will travel to Jaipur to monitor and oversee the progress.

We have started a new fund, exclusively for our Sri Sri Radha Krishna Deities. The fund will be used to cover the costs of the exquisitely carved deities of Srimati Radharani and Sri Krishna from Jaipur along with 20 opulent dresses, night dresses, jewelry such as earrings, chokers, belts, necklaces, flutes, hair and other items of decoration to allow to serve our Sri Sri Radha Krishna deities together with our other deities with matching outfits and gorgeous and opulent jewelry and other articles of worship. We have set the target amount at $125,000. Our tremendous gratitude to Sri Raman and Maya Sharma for donating $51,000 towards this fund and thus the remaining amount is $75,000. We ask all devotees and community members to contribute towards this fund in accordance with their means to reap in the immense benefit of installing deities of Sri Sri Radha and Krishna:

"By installing the Deity of the Lord one becomes king of the entire earth, by building a temple for the Lord one becomes ruler of the three worlds, by worshiping and serving the Deity one goes to the planet of Lord Brahmā, and by performing all three of these activities one achieves a transcendental form like My own." – Srimad Bhagavatam 11.27.52

Help Build A Temple For Krishna
The International Society for Krishna Consciousness ISKCON was founded 50 years ago in 1966 in New York by His Divine Grace A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupāda. ISKCON of New Jersey has been active in Towaco since 1981. Over the years, we’ve had the honor of serving the community in many ways that has benefited thousands. We’ve distributed books and sumptuous food (prasadam) as well as in-depth spiritual education.

Since then the congregation continues to grow larger and more vibrant; the current property is fast becoming inadequate to support the growth. In addition, the current temple building is situated on top of a hill which makes accessibility a challenge, especially for elderly or disabled visitors.
We are in the process of building a beautiful temple in the nearby township of Parsippany. So far, we have acquired the 3.2 acres plot of land where we will build the temple and secured the necessary zoning approvals to build the temple. Of the required $4 Million for the first phase of the project, we have already secured over $2.5 million in donations and pledges.

Now we need your help to raise the remaining amount needed to get the construction work started as planned in June 2016. We would very much like to make this a wonderful 50th Anniversary offering to Lord Krishna and Srila Prabhupāda.
Our goal in building this temple is to bring Lord Krishna and His teachings to a much wider community by moving to a more accessible location that can support a lot more people. By doing this we hope that all people across northern New Jersey and beyond will benefit spiritually by enjoying kirtan, delicious prasadam, and learning about the practice of yoga.
Please help us by donating whatever you can afford.
Thank you and Hare Krishna!
Your servants,
ISKCON of Parsippany
