The Importance of Membership

The soul of the HTCSCI is its membership – individuals, couples and families, who, year after year, make a commitment to support the organization. Their contributions of time, knowledge and financial resources help the temple fulfill its mission of serving the community and promoting the Hindu way of life. Becoming a member signals an affirmation of these ideals. The temple welcomes members from all segments of society, regardless of race, color, sex, religious affiliation, national origin, ethnic background, age, marital status, handicap, veteran status or sexual orientation. The only expectation from those interested in becoming members is a respect for Hindu philosophy and the Hindu way of life. The Maha Saraswathi Hindu Temple is a house of God, and its doors are open to everyone. Without sustained support from a broad-based membership, however, it’s hard to imagine that those doors would be open at all.
