How involved to you tend to be with your religious organization? Regardless of their spiritual affiliations and cultural backgrounds, people of all faiths are faced with the choice of how to interact with the spiritual concepts they believe in. Some choose to take a distant stance, following the organization's basic tennets but straying from making any personal mark on the local community. Others may participate a little, getting involved with closed-community events such as holiday celebrations, and perhaps serving as a bookshop clerk, administrative officer, or member of a class or seminar on a related topic. Still others take a very active role, focusing on traditional religious practices while choosing to simultaneously participate in many community events, both restricted to the organization's members, and those which invite the local population at large. These people may take leadership roles, suggest new directions for the organization, and in general make the spiritual community a major component of their daily lives. Given the common backgrounds and spiritual missions of Hindu temples in the United States, this latter group has many options to choose from when it comes to practicing their faith in a variety of ways.

The Sai Baba Temple on Hillcroft Road, sometimes referred to as the Shirdi Sai Jala Ram Mandir, is in the process of constructing a new spiritual home for its congregation in nearby Sugarland. Though its current premises in Houston proper offer ample space for the moderately sized community of regular devotees, the temple's board of directors as well as its congregants are intent on creating a more personal and traditional spiritual space, complete with authentic architectural elements and artistic motifs. With a strong volunteer and fundraising force, the temple is ready to accept new members to help establish its long-desired new home; an excellent opportunity for Houston area devotees with a bit of entrepreneurial spirit and elbow grease to be a part of something truly special.



Of course, the temple's physical space is but one aspect of its operation; standard pujas, holiday celebrations, and community meetings provide spiritual guidance as well as many roles to fill for participants. Congregation members can take advantage of frequent lectures and instructional courses on meditation technique, yoga traditions, text interpretation, and much more. If you're looking for a temple with a lot of ways to get involved, add yourself to the growing community at the Sai Baba temple Houston.
