3 March 2010 Temple Building Update
Written by Simheswara dasa   

Hare Krishna. You may be wondering what's happening to the building progress. No updates for a while. Yes!. With the 2009 year end, we have been a bit busy running around, our contractor's construction manager resigned, Chinese New Year came around and we have just come back from Navadvipa Mandal Parikram. So excuse us for missing out reports.

Construction work has lagged behind by a month. Fitting of the prefabricated parts of the ornamental lotus leaves which will decorate all sides of the 1st, 2nd and 3rd floor levels of the building which first seemed easy is now a little bit of a time consuming job for our contractors. Nevertheless work has started on this section and so have concreting of Vimanas (domes). And if you have not signed up for the Heaven-on-Earth sponsorship scheme, please consider helping us with some funds to fulfill the desire of Srila Prabhupada that a Sri Sri Radha Krishna temple be built in Malaysia. And our target is to inaugurate the temple in early 2012. Please sign up now - click on http://iskcon.com.my/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=596&Itemid=63
