Temple History
Flower Mound is a small suburb of about 62000 people,
located about 20 miles north of Dallas.
It is a fairly new area where a handful of Indians are moving into after buying
residential houses. The nearest Hindu temple is about 20 miles away in Irving, TX.
There are about 500 Hindu families living in the flower mound greater area
including Lewisville and Denton. A need for a temple close by has
always been in the minds of people in social gatherings like Holi and Diwali.
A small group of Indian families got together discussing the Idea of a Hindu temple closer to home during April 2009, and we are happy to inform you that the “vision” is now a “reality”.
With continued support from our community, we moved forward with the plans to start the temple in August 2009 at 3325 Long Prairie Road, Flower Mound, TX 75022 (Besides Tarakari Indian Grocery). Phase-1 deities included Lord Ganesh and Durga Ma. Phase-2 included Lord Siva Linga & Nandi and Lord Balaji. Shiridi Sai Baba deity Prana Pratishta was performed on 8/22/2010. During Phase 4, Lord Kartikeya, Nava Graha and Hanuman Ji are planned.
Flower Mound Hindu temple also offers religious classes and Language (Hindi & Telugu) classes at Temple premises. details
Several special events celebrated by community since then.
We are looking for donations to help us establish and sustain the temple activities. To make contributions, you can contact any one of the founding members found on “Contact Us” link, or make payments online by going to "Donations" link, or submit your contributions in any one of the participating stores (for example, Tarakari).

MAHA PRASAAD - SIGNIFICANCE
We
encourage all our devotees to prepare and bring maha prasaad to temple every
Sunday.
What
is Prasaad/Prasadam?
Prasadam
is a Sanskrit word which means mercy. Prasadam is food that has first been specifically
prepared for God and offered to his/her deity. Prasaad is the spiritual
nourishment that comes from acknowledging our dependency on God and the
blessings of Mother Earth. Prasadam is considered “karma-free” food since it is sanctified by God. We offer it to God in
thanksgiving. After offering to God, food becomes pure and spiritually
nourishing. When we eat food that has been offered to God or Goddess, we
receive the mercy of the Supreme Personality of Godhead.
What to offer?
Vegetables,
fruits, nuts, grains, honey, rice, Roti, Sabji, sugar, milk products (No
Onions or Garlic please)
“If one offers me with love and devotion a
leaf, a flower, fruit or water, I will accept it.” - Lord Krishna from Bhagavad Gita
