Shree Pashupatinath Mandir in New York City


॥हरि ॐ शिव॥


An Eternal is Sanatan. Vedic Dharma Religion can aptly be defined as Sanatan Darma. Sanatan Dharma means the Eternal, supreme soul BRAHM. The religion, which eternally exists in God, revealed by God, Which describes the name forms virtues and abodes of God and which reveals the True Path of God realization for all souls is Sanatan Dharma. Such active thoughts and practices that promote physical and mental happiness in the world and ensure God Realization in the end are called Dharma. Sanatan do not have beginning or end, it exists all time.

Every Religion guides the human being to its ultimate goal. Being eternal it is capable of making all those who have faith in it ,eternal, by providing them the ultimate knowledge. It has played very significant role in keeping our culture alive.

Sanatan can be seen as means to help us attain union with the eternal soul. In Bhagbat Geeta Bhagwan Shree Krishna said

”YEH SHASTRA VIDHI MRITASRINYA VARTAE KAAM KAARTAH
NASA SIDDIM VAAARNOTI NA SUKHAM NA PARAMGATIM
TASMA CHCHHASTRAM PRAMAANAM TE KARYAA KARYAA VASTATAU
GYAATVA SHAASTRA VIDHAAN OKTAM PAAARAM KARTYMIHAARTTASI”

Meaning; Those who neglect the scriptures and act whimsical way they neither attain perfection nor any comfort and salvation. O Arjun! Scriptures dictate the things worth your doing and unworthy of doing.

ध्यायेन्नित्यं महेशं रजतगिरिनिभं चारुचन्द्रावतंसं रत्नाकल्पोज्ज्वलाङ्गं परशुमृगवराभीतिहस्तंप्रसन्नम्‌। पद्मासीनं समन्तात्स्तुतममरगणैर्व्याघ्रकृत्तिं वसानं विश्वाद्यं विश्वबीजं निखिलभयहरं पञ्चवक्त्रं त्रिनेत्रम्‌॥ नमः शिवाय साम्बाय हरये परमात्मने।

The Blessed Devotees: The Mandir or temple is manifestation of the desire of its long list of devotees who have for years desired a unique place to worship Lord Shiv, the Pashupati Nath, in the Greater New York City. The temple has worship Mandap that can accommodate about 400 devotees at one time for devotion to Lord Pashupati. This facility is created with specific desire to have all devotees together when a community style Pooja is performed. Shiva Ratri is a day when all devotees, and Teej Pooja is a day when our women devotees, Navratri Celebration, Krishnasthami and so on will have special congregation at the holy temple.


Built in Convenient location: The Temple site is conveniently located in Queens, NY that can be commuted either by Subway trains (7, F, E, G, R, N, V) or by cars or by buses. Parking for cars is available all around the temple location. The Mandir is just about 2 Blocks away from the Metro station X.

The above is our aim. We need your support and financial help to translate the vision into reality. A great deal of work has been done behind the scene to bring the Temple up. The Temple Registration with NYS DOS is completed; IRS approval for Non profit ID has been obtained. Temple Governance will be done under BY Law, which has been written and approved by Ad hoc committee.We are appealing all community members, the devotees of Lord Pashupati, to come forward and help build the Holy Temple, SHREE PASHUPATI NATH MANDIR, by their generous donations in terms of time, voluntary works, and constructive ideas on fund raising. Last but most important will be your generous help in funding the project to completion. This will be your temple at your closest reach for your devotional need. Marriages will be solemnalized, Pooja Archana offered on your behalf or with you in your presence, Shraddha performed by priest, and like in AaryaGhat Kriyaputri could perform 13 day rituals within specially prepared rooms. As our community size has increased, so is the need for the facilities per our traditions and customs.
