Our temple is usually open on Tuesdays and Sundays. On Sundays, there are generally more people, and then we also offer a community meal (langar). Additionally, the temple is open on Hindu holidays and special nights. It can also be open if it has been rented out.
There are plenty of parking spaces available right in front of the temple. If these are all taken due to high attendance, such as on special holidays, there are still plenty of parking options in the neighborhood around the temple.
You may have to walk for a minute or a few minutes in that case. If this is an issue, you can arrive a bit earlier than everyone else. This way, there's a good chance you'll find a parking spot right in front of the temple.
The expenses for every Sunday's satsang and langar (food) are currently covered by the temple itself, which is not ideal. It would be wonderful if an individual or a family could take on these costs, making it a satsang of that particular family. This way, you can also invite your friends and family, have a fifteen-minute session for singing bhajans, and contribute towards the meal. If you have a birthday celebration or any special event, this can be a meaningful way to do something good for the temple.
If you'd like to book a satsang, please email us at info@asamai.nl, and they will provide you with a list of instructions and inform you about the associated costs. Please note that the cost may vary due to energy expenses. The fee includes rice and lentils (dahl), which you don't need to purchase separately, but you will need to prepare them yourself. Alternatively, you can hire a cook from our temple. People who are already donors will receive a discount.

Varies, we do not have a fixed priest (pandit), and there is currently no permanent priest available. However, we do have contacts with pandits and can provide you with their contact information.
For that, we need volunteers. We have a lot of plans, and it's a win-win situation, so please sign up. Our goal is to attract more people to the mandir! Think about activities such as Hindi lessons, yoga classes, music lessons, dance classes, Bollywood lessons, workshops during festivals, and so on. The possibilities are endless!

The majority of the funds go towards building maintenance, which is quite expensive. Additionally, the funds are used for organizing activities for children, adults, and seniors, purchasing inventory such as chairs and tables, covering unforeseen expenses, sustainable improvements to the building, and heating costs during the winter. If we happen to have a surplus of funds, we would like to arrange transportation services for the elderly.
Our goal is to attract a larger crowd through various activities. We aim to open the mandir seven days a week in the long term, provide transportation services for the elderly, and offer a wide range of activities.
