Newcastle Siva Subramanian Temple is planning on erecting a six metre high Shiva Murthi, which will be the embodiment of an integral part of the Hindu faith..<\/p>\n
\n\u201cWe spoke about it two years ago, but had to shelve it, but now the temple will be going ahead with it,\u201d said temple committe member, Pravesh Sewlal.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/blockquote>\n
Work on the foundation of the murthi will be started within the next two weeks.
\nLord Shiva is one of the principal deities in Hinduism, and part of the trinity, with Brahman and Vishnu.
\nLord Shiva removes devotees from the illusionary world of Kama, Krodha, Moha, Madha and Lobha, making them realise who they are, as well as what their true purpose in life is.
\nLord Shiva\u2019s destructive power has a purifying effect on an universal level.
\nAs Lord Shiva represents the essence of impeccable goodness and godliness, he is worshipped with reverence.
\nAs the construction of the Shiva Murthi will cost R200 000, funding is required.<\/p>\n\u201cWe have collected some monies, and we will soon be going from door to door to seek assistance,\u201d Mr Sewlal said. The temple committee would accept any form of donation, whether it be cash or materials, he continued.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
\u201cWe will also be prepared to take advice, as this is a big project.\u201d
\nFor more information, contact Pravesh Sewlal on 082 859 9284 or Arusha Ramsaroop on 084 529 8781.
\nDonations can be deposited into the temple\u2019s banking account.
