The Heaven on Earth Temple, when seen from above, is an auspicious octagonal shape. Each of the eight sections of the octagon is aligned with the eight directions’ rulers who are the Lord’s avatars and powerful representatives. Lord Sri Krishna, as the Paramatma or Lord in everyone’s heart, speaks to us in many ways and gives us various wonderful opportunities to serve Him. One such opportunity is this Heaven on Earth gifting scheme which encourages everyone to sacrifice a part of their earnings by sponsoring a minimum of ONE square foot of the Sri-Sri Radha-Krishna Temple and thus be benefitted tremendously as a direct contributor. This unprecedented project in Malaysia was born from the direct instructions of Srila Prabhupada. Thus whoever gives to this unique long lasting preaching project is giving ‘directly’ to Srila Prabhupada himself who is a maha bhagavata. The sastras state clearly that if one gives even a small gift to a maha-bhagavata the material and spiritual benefits the donor receives ‘cannot be calculated’. Such is the power of giving charity to a maha-bhagavata like Srila Prabhupada by way of assisting his various preaching projects and new temple projects. Thus with the blessings of Srila Prabhupada, Lord Sri Krishna, and all His most sincere devotees we are confident we can raise the needed funds through this Heaven on Earth scheme. We plan to complete the construction of this most magnificent temple by the middle of 2012. So all you need to do is select one or more categories of the Heaven on Earth sponsorship scheme and Krishna will bless you unlimitedly for your sacrifice without any shadow of a doubt. Therefore please help us build this temple for Their Lordships Sri-Sri Radha-Krishna and Srila Prabhupada. (Please note: Rama RC Pile sponsors may wish to have their previously sponsored pile locations correspond with the floor area for this Heaven on Earth scheme. Rama RC Pile sponsors, please call us on 04-380-8897 and we will assist you further. Hare Krishna!) Our heartfelt thanks to HG Sevananda Prabhu for his Gift-of-Love in sacrificing his personal time and effort on the artwork, design, layout and printing works, to HG Ajamila Prabhu for editing and proof reading and to Goloka Candra prabhu for assisting with Octagon design and texts on Dasavatara. You can also take advantage of your Janma Lagna (birth sign of the zodiac) to select your Heaven on Earth sponsorship floor area (table as appended below).
