A Brief History of Hindu Sabha The year was 1975 when five visionary Hindus (also Founding Members) had a mission of preserving, protecting and promoting our Hindu Dharma, Sabhyata (civilization) and Sanskriti (culture) for many generations to come. They decided to register a charitable organization under the Name of Hindu Sabha.

From a humble beginning of organizing religious discourses, Poojas, Havans and Hindu festivals at people’s apartments and homes; and city centre library rooms, a farm property was purchased on highway # 10, near Derry Road in Brampton in 1978. Subsequent to this, with your support and donations Hindu Sabha acquired 25 acre land in Brampton on The Gore Road.

Over the years, the Hindu population of Canada started to grow rapidly. The devotees and volunteers at the time started soliciting funds to build a new temple on the newly acquired land. With donations from devotees and bank financing, the project to build this temple was embarked in 1992.

The year 1994 gave us much needed funds as we had to vacate our farm house on Highway 10 due to Highway 407 construction and the property was sold to the province of Ontario. We celebrated the opening of our new temple on 9225 The Gore Road, Brampton in 1994 with the Praan Prathista of Maa Jagdamba. Afterwards, other deities were installed with all the rituals in accordance with our Hindu Scriptures. These were performed by our Hindu Sabha priests and visiting Saints from India.

What you see today, a massive structure of about 34,000 SqFt. known as Hindu Sabha Temple is one of the largest Hindu temples in North America. It is the culmination of hard work of many donors, volunteers, priests and spiritual leaders visiting from India.

We are sure that with your continuous generous support, service and donations, we will be able to build many new facilities such as library, seniors’ homes and community hall etc. in the near future.

Jai Maata Di!
