Deep-rooted Sanatan Dharma in the USA | TodayPassion
Sanatan Dharma in the USA Hindu Temple of Florida was founded in December 1983. A group of dedicated persons who had made Tampa Bay their home sensed the need for a place of prayer and Sanatana dharma practice in their chosen territory. They had already started joining small groups at various residences to do the routinely conducted poojas and festivals.
They banded together, formed a non-profit company, and began raising funds for the site and, subsequently, the Temple’s construction. The current location was bought in 1989. The property came with an ancient home, which served as the first Temple “Balalaya.” Following fundraising and community interest, temple building started in 1994 and was finished in 1996, with the Maha Kumbabhishekam conducted the same year. The temple’s Indianization starts in the year 2000.
