On April 2, the Om Sai Balaji Temple conducted a temple awareness and fundraising event at the newly-built campus in Monroe, New Jersey, for the first phase of the temple building 'Sai Jnana Mandir' (centre for cultural and spiritual education).

The event included live performances, recitation of Vedic hymns, and a charity show.

The event was attended by over 400 guests, with many local community members showing their appreciation and support for the temple.

The founder, Suryanarayana Maddula, together with his team acquired 12 acres of land near Monroe about 10 years back and started building the temple.

The first phase is now complete and a grand inauguration, "Prana Prathistha' (installation of the deities) event, is planned for the week of June 13-19.

The temple will welcome the community with its large granite structure, and serve multiple faiths with a common goal of spreading goodness, love and oneness, a press release stated.

The phase-1 includes 10 classrooms, a professional kitchen, dining hall and a large prayer hall.
