Durga Puja, 2026
SDKKM Vision and Mission
Our Vision
To meet the religious, cultural and educational needs of our growing community and to provide a unique environment for our next generation to better understand our ancient Sanatana Dharma or Hindu heritage.
Our Mission
To bring the community closer together for the purpose of teaching a simpler, more natural way of life and in recognizing the eternal almighty Divine presence in all of creation. While the Supreme is One, many are the deities that represent the infinite aspects of that One Supreme Omnipotent and benevolent Lord.
SDKKM Community Impact
Develop and sustain a common place for the community to practice spiritually uplifting ways of life through Bhakti (devotion), Gyana (knowledge) and Karma (action).
• Bhakti – Religious, spiritual and cultural activities that promote a devotional attitude for spiritual progression.
• Gyana – Enlightenment about the teachings of Sanatana Dharma that promote a more holistic way of life.
• Karma – To bring people with common interests together for Pujas, religious festivals and celebrations to meet the needs of the community through a vibrant volunteering spirit.
