The Temple


Dear Devotees,
Thank you so much for deciding to read this blog. If you aren't really sure what you are reading, well, just keep reading and I will tell you. This is a blog about the Nithyananda Vedic Temple of Ohio, and in my opinion, the best temple in North America. The temple, which was consecrated on April 14, 2007, is located on a beautiful property in Delaware, Ohio. Behind the temple runs the Olentangy Scenic River, and on another side of the temple is a little creek laughing is way down to the larger water flow. All that is very gorgeous, but the most beautiful thing about the temple is the actual temple part.
There are many deities inside, all are Hindu gods and goddesses. As this blog continues you will hear about all the different deities and get an idea of what precisely we do, and who these deities are. For this section I will simply write about just one, well two really. Seven and a half feet tall, solid black granite, about six tons, the handsome Anandaswara sits. More formally known as Lord Shiva. Upon the lord's knee, Anandaswari is seated looking perfect in every way. Our temple is mostly dedicated to them, they equal the biggest Shiva moorthi (statue) in North America! Over the course of the blog you will hear about the events that happen around this idol, their home, and of course the people who serve them. Thank you for reading the Nithyananda Vedic Temple blog, check in soon for more!
