Melbourne – According to Heraldsun News, AN INVESTIGATION has been launched into whether a Craigieburn house is being used as a Hindu temple.
The owners of the residential property however have denied such claims when they were approached by local leader newspaper team.
It is to be advised that there was a big event announced for the grand opening of Hindu temple at this residential property and community members from different faith had attended this event. The event links are still available on different Indian websites.
There is also a Facebook Fan page under the name of Craigieburn Mata Mandir with 473 likes at the time of writing this news.
There are also several posts on the Facebook page inviting public to book a religious kirtan/path at the temple and also asking for donations. So it is quite interesting that the residential property are rejecting the claims of turning it into Mandir.
According to HeraldSun, The home’s owner, who did not want her name published, denied the house was a temple, instead saying it was a “house of God”.
She claims last month’s “grand opening” was simply a house-warming and her family and friends joined her for prayer. She further added that “How can I use it as a temple? It’s my house.
“It’s my house of prayer, my house of God; it’s my personal house.”
She said the Facebook page was used to promote festival information and the Indian culture, while donations were used to buy statues.
