Vishwa Shanthi Homam @ VVGC Goshala

VVGC temple has made the sankalpam to perform “Vishwa Shanthi Homa” for the global well being and peace. ‘Agnina rayiem ashnuvath’ -- Our scriptures say “Where homa is performed, there lies an abundance of wellness”.

Doing homam in the midst of cows which have devatas residing from head to tail is even more auspicious. The cow, often referred to as "Kamadhenu", symbolizes nourishment, wealth, and abundance. The homam will be followed by the naming ceremony for the cows. Sponsorship opportunities are available to choose your near/dear one’s name for the cows.

What: Vishwa Shanthi Homam followed by the Cow Naming Ceremony

Where: VVGC Goshala, 11355 Monterey Hwy San Martin CA 95046 (www.vvgc.org)

When: Jul 20th 5pm - 7pm followed by Mahaprasadam

Information: Sponsorship opportunities are available to choose name for the cows!

🪔 Temple Update and Urgent Appeal 🪔

We're very grateful to our supporters, donors, and community for making our temple a reality. Since its inception in 2012, we've invested over $10 million in developing our 13-acre prime property, featuring religious and commercial zoning.

However, we now face an urgent obligation to a lender who has supported us since day one. We've received a notice to pay off a debt of approximately $1 million. Given their long-standing partnership, we feel a strong commitment to fulfill this obligation.

We're humbly reaching out to our community for emergency fundraising support. Every contribution counts, and we welcome donations or loans with interest options. Your support will help us clear this debt and ensure the temple's continued growth and service.

Thank you for considering this appeal. 🙏
