This is a very unique temple because it shrines Siva Lingam and the murti of Sri Mahavira. The temple also has shrines several other deities following the North Indian Smarta tradition. You can read about the temple's history on their website http://www.hindujaintemple.org/

Twenty-five years ago they invited Gurudeva for the installation of the temple. Now Bodhinatha gave his talk on the Silver Jublee of that auspicious event. We went for the morning Rudra Abhishekam with Sri Rudram chanting--beautifully done by the three Pundits, bhajans, then Bodhinatha's talk. The morning ceremony at the temple concluded with Bodhinatha giving rudraksha gift to a group of the temple devotees who successfully completed the Kailas Yatra recently and the puja sponsors. Som Sharma and others did a wonderful job oganizing the whole event and took care of us with extreme devotion and love! Thank you!

Bodhinatha has moved on from Canada to Eastern USA with the first stop at the Sri Venkateshwara Temple in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Several of the devotee here wanted Bodhinatha to give talks to local Hindu community here. Our trip here was coordinated by Mr. Som Sharma and Dharmalingam Siddhan with the help of various other devotees. One of primary concern of the Hindus here is how to pass on the religion and the culture to the next generation of American Hindus--their children. That seems be the hot topic in every discussion many had with Bodhinatha. Due to unforeseen difficulties with our camera we could not capture the event for our Taka devotees. We had one free evening and was able to be tourist for couple hours.
