Aim: We are raising funds to buy property for FIRST Hindu community centre & Mandir. No such basic facilities are around 20m radius of Chelmsford
About
Chelmsford Hindu Society works towards having a community centre for the advancement of Hindu Religion. It may provide a Mandir for religious activities and facilities to incorporate religious as well as cultural functions. There is not even one Hindu Community Centre or a Mandir in Chelmsford or even in ESSEX.
Why Community Centre
A community centre helps community to strengthen its traditions and gives it a chance to exchange cultures. It’s a place to experience and learn meditation, yoga, spirituality, to teach our children about our values and practices, and to be at peace. A place to celebrate traditions and culture. Knowing each other’s culture brings better cohesion by accepting our diverse background. It gives confidence to the community members hence providing for better mental health
Lack of temple deprives Hindus not only of a regular place of worship & meditation but also causes hardship during life events such as Christening, Marriages, Prayer Meeting, upon death in family, Renewal of Vows etc.
