The First Traditional Hindu Temple in Germany
is a registered religious public trust, formed on 12th June, 1978. It is a nonprofit organization with the fundamental aspirations to attain and indoctrinate the religious codes and values in everyone life so as to take a step forward in the course of reveleation of divinity in one’s persona in the lap of Almighty.
The principle of a harmonious co-existence termed in Hindu philosophy as “Vasudhaiv Kutambakam ” is akin to “Love thy neighbour as thyself” – as advocated in the holdy book The Bible. This revelation is articulated as “Suhradbhav” (Universal Brotherhood and fraternity) in Swaminarayan philosophy.
"Do you really want to be happy? Then hear love, see love, speak love."
