About Hanuman Mandir Of Greater Chicago:
With the grace of Hanuman Ji Maharaj’s divine blessings, on December 14, 2013, more than 170 devotees of Hanuman Ji gathered to celebrate Bhumi Shudhi (sanctification of the earth). The sacred occasion marked the acquisition of a 4.1-acre parcel of land in Glenview, Illinois for the construction of the Hanuman Spiritual and Community Center, now known as the Hanuman Mandir of Greater Chicago.
The momentous moment marked the beginning of the realization of a noble and long cherished of the Indian community that resided in the northern suburbs of Chicago. Given the growing number of Indians and their spiritual needs, it has long been believed that the institution can serve as a source to support those who are aging rapidly. The project will include a Hanuman Mandir and a community center.
The community center will respond to the community’s longstanding desire to have a multi-faceted public place to celebrate various cultural, spiritual and educational programs. The Center will benefit members of all communities and provide a very broad opportunity for social interaction.
A slide presentation was presented to show the engineering details that describe the architectural features of Mandir. Impressed by the details, many of the faithful have made valuable contributions to the project and have also provided ongoing support in the future.
The Glenview Village has approved the construction of this sacred project which is expected to be completed in about a year. The Mandir would have two distinct areas for the realization of spiritual activities; and organize several community programs.
The devotees of the Hanuman Spiritual and Community Center, now known as the Hanuman Mandir of Greater Chicago, share the pleasure of announcing that significant progress has been made towards the establishment of a Hanuman Mandir in Glenview. Several volunteer committees have been formed to perform specialized functions.

A dual-sided statue of Lord Hanuman, a Hindu god, standing 22 feet tall and weighing 46,000 pounds will greet people as they enter into Glenview's new, white marble Hindu temple set to open this weekend.
The 39,000-square-foot temple named the Hanuman Mandir of Greater Chicago sits on 4.1 acres at 3623 W. Lake Ave.

Lord Hanuman is known for being a devotee of the god Rama and gives energy and teachings of service. The statue took just under six months to complete.
'The statue comes from one piece of marble,' Ram said. Romeo juliet tamil movie download. 'It is dual-sided so the whole structure from top to bottom is replicated on both sides.'
This allows devotees to see Lord Hanuman as they enter and leave the temple.
Ancient rituals to celebrate the opening of the temple will be performed starting Friday and continue through Sunday. Hindu priests will recite prayers and install India-carved Hindu deities on altars in the temple.
The public is welcome to attend the mandir's ribbon cutting, scheduled for 1 p.m. Sunday. After the ribbon cutting, the public will be able to go into the mandir and serve a bit of offerings, Prasad, to the deities.
