Be Part Of Us – A Malaya Giri Dham Project Update

Dear devotees,

This is to enlighten you of the recent developments of our Malaya Giri Dham Varnashram project. We started by bringing a 40-foot container with 4 compartment-rooms. We then started to repair the toilet on the old building but ended up renovating the entire building. You can perhaps see the pictures of the development.

Now we are embarking on building the temple. It is to be built on the space between the old house and the 40-foot container. This requires laying of cement for the ground floor and later on, the fixing of steel rafters for the erecting of a roof for the new temple. The laying of the floor is also progressing steadily and is expected to be completed soon.We are planning to install Sri Sri Krishna Balaram deities once we complete the structure.

On the agricultural side we have now identified the site for the proposed flower garden and work has progressed steadily in clearing the land and eventually, we will be digging of a well on the site. This is to ensure that there will be a continuous supply of water for the plants. We also would need to erect a netting roof over the proposed flowering plot so as to prevent the attack of insects on the plants.

We have also marked the site for the proposed cow protection shed. Here we plan to rear cows for pleasure of Sri Sri Krishna Balaram. We already have prospective donors who are interested in donating the cows.

We are expecting the power to arrive any moment. Once this is accomplished we would then progress in completing the project rapidly. However we do require a lot of financial assistance for this glorious project of Srila Prabhupada. We do have the skilled manpower to complete the project but we are lacking financial support for the purchase of raw materials, etc. The entire estimated cost is about SGD$ 50,000.

In this material world, cow protection and brahminical culture please Krishna the most because these two activities bring about auspiciousness for the whole world. It is actually true. We can solve all the problems of the world just by introducing cow protection and brahminical culture. So anyone who takes part in this supreme welfare work is especially blessed by Lord Krishna and very soon, all his miseries will end and he will return back to the spiritual world, Vaikuntha. Therefore, we are offering a Life Membership wherein donors who donate SGD$3,001 or more, would qualify for a life time membership of the project. They would be able to stay for free in the Dham for a week in a year with food, board and lodging. Kindly lend us your helping hand in realizing this very important project.

Prospective donors who want to visit the Dham are most welcomed as we would be most glad to take you on a site tour. We do have guest house facilities for staying in; so kindly make an appointment with us and we would be most honored to host you. It would truly be an unforgettable experience that you would certainly cherish - to be living in the mode of goodness amongst the mountains, rivers and fruit orchards; and practicing spiritual life in such a peaceful environment, far, far away from the hustle and bustle of the highly materialistic urban civilization, which saps out the vital energy of human life.
