Namaste and Jai Seeta Ram all,

Please join us to help finish our Mandir. We are raising funds to benefit Palm Beach Sanatan Vaidic Society Incorporated - Shri Lakshmi Mandir. Any donation will help make a great impact. Thanks in advance for your contribution to this worthy cause, it really means a lot to us!

We are so close and aiming to complete this project before the start of 2026. Failure at this point is not an option for us. There have been so many people before us that had dreams and aspirations to build this beautiful Mandir. They have selflessly given so much of their time, energy, money and hard work for this project. I am sorry to say many of them are no longer with us. We have to get this done and with all your help we can do it! From the bottom of our hearts, we thank you for your support.

-The Shri Lakshmi Mandir

Our Journey

Although hard to imagine today, up until about 30 years ago, the West Indian Hindu population in Florida did not have a sense of community or togetherness. In 1995, a group of individuals came together to form the Florida Hindu Cultural & Religious Association (FHCRA) and they had the vision to protect and promote the Indian Hindu Culture in and across Florida. Since then, members of the FHCRA have gone on to form various congregations across the state. Over the years this organization has evolved . In 2016, some of the members of the FHCRA formed the "Palm Beach Sanatan Vaidic Society", bringing together those in the Palm Beach community. Since then we have been working very hard with the construction of the Mandir. This has been a very slow process because of lack of funds. We depend on donations from our generous community and our family and friends. The PBSVS considers itself truly blessed to have received this support, as it is only because of these donations that we were able to move forward with cementing the foundations of our permanent new home. Today, the PBSVS holds its congregation in a shared community space, while the Temple is currently being built in Palm Beach County.

Our Mission

The Palm Beach Sanatan Vaidic Society envisions a future where ALL who wish to participate in this congregation have a safe and welcoming space to call their home - A place where the Indian Hindu heritage and culture is honored and will continue to grow and thrive.

Our Future

We hope the Palm Beach Sanatan Vaidic Society will be able to open the doors of our permanent home very soon to all that wish to participate in the religious and cultural events of our community. We aspire to be a full-service temple that offers weekly prayer services, religious holiday occasions, weddings, and other special religious events.

From our journeys' humble beginnings to date, we have certainly come a long way and are now looking to further strengthen and build upon those foundations. The impact of having this space transcends the physical infrastructure and creates a positive impact on the services, supports and contributions it provides for all generations. This future dream though, within reach, will only be possible with your continued support.
