Our History and Formation
Sri Venkateshwara (Balaji) Temple and cultural centre (SVBTCC) was formed by devotees of Sri Venkateshwara Swamy in April 2018 with a vision to construct Sri Venkateshwara (Balaji) Temple in and around London as a part of an iconic “Balaji Village” that serves as a cultural, social, spiritual & Yoga centre depicting Hindu Dharma and illustrating the multicultural nature of Bharat in England.
SVBTCC will function as a ‘non-profit’ organisation/Charity Institution with a central purpose of serving the devotees in the UK & Europe, to promote Hindu Sanatana Dharma and Hindu Culture, Values & Traditions.
The Core Members Team was formed with well-regarded professionals like Doctors, Lawyers, Technocrats, Bankers, Philanthropists, Home-makers and all walks of life people with only one common connection of ‘Devotion & Service’ to Sri Venkateswara Swamy.
Team consists of devotees who worked for similar religions, spiritual and community support charity projects successfully in the past, which brings a wealth of expertise to SVBTCC.
Built with Purpose
Our objectives are set out in the articles of association (AoA)
The advancement of the Hindu Sanatana Dharma (Hindu religion) among communities by: @The provision of safe and easy access for regular worship and fellowship. @Raising awareness about ‘Hindu Sanatana Dharma’ (Hinduism) and inculcating Hindu values and culture in our family life and to foster pride in our heritage among the younger generation. @Raising awareness of yoga, meditation, the arts, spiritual and inter-religious education to promote religious and social tolerance. @Working with other interfaith groups to promote harmony, integration and peace. @Establishing a Cultural Centre and a Temple for worship.
In order to realise our bigger dream of having Balaji iconic village we have taken following steps: @ Registered non-profit limited Company, no: 113385810 incorporated on 1st May 2018. @ Registered a Charity No: 1181618 on 18th January 2019. @ Conducted workshops and performed poojas in different areas in and around London throughout the year. @ Annual Srinivasa Kalyanam, Sri Rama Kalyanam and Deepa Lakshmi poojas. @ We have our own Utsava Moorthies Srinivasa Parivaram and Rama Parivaram from Chennai and use these for regular pooja programmes.
We have purchased a suitable building after obtaining planning permission for a temple in Bracknell Town Centre which is due to open in the next few months. While running the temple and cultural centre in Bracknell, we will be actively looking for land around 20–30 acres in & around the West London region for constructing the Balaji Temple complex. We appeal to you to step forward and join us in our mission to build the Devaalayam Complex for Sri Venkateshwara Swamy. You can view SVBTCC details at Charity Commission.
