It has been twenty five years since India Cultural Center and Temple was granted tax exempt non profit religious organization status and a bank account was opened with seed money of two hundred and fifty dollars ($250). Today, it is a five million dollar ($5,000,000) corporation serving the spiritual needs of more than five thousand families in mid-south. It has touched many lives for better and has many accomplishments under its belt in a relatively short time that are envy of many older, larger and richer temples around the world. It’s rapidly becoming an authority of prime importance in the matters of religious rituals and spiritual programs all over the world. Our priests are in great demand world wide to perform Kumbhabhishekams, Yagnas and other complex religious ceremonies. All these seemingly impossible milestones were achieved by your generous donations, commitment and participation.

By being not the ones to rest on their laurels, the Board of Trustees of ICCT has made a wise decision to establish a ten million dollar ($10,000,000) endowment fund. This will assure the maintenance and growth of ICCT without any financial hindrance or burden to the future generations of devotees, so that it will continue to nurture and propagate Vedic philosophy and culture.

Having brought it in to existence, we all are eager to see it grow in to a giant wish fulfilling tree (Kalpataru). As in the past, we count on everyone’s generosity to reach this goal. There are many ways to contribute to the endowment fund, to name a few: cash, insurance policies, stocks, making ICCT a beneficiary of your estate etc. This act of charity will benefit the recipient and the donor alike. This is one investment you will ever make that will never depreciate in value. It will benefit not only you, but your children, grand children and their children for many generations to come.

We count on your generosity to make this a success.
