“This celebration is not just a milestone—it’s a moment of gratitude and a vision for the future,” said Premananda Devi Dasi, president of ISKCON Naperville.

“This event is a call to action for all to support the temple’s expansion, ensuring it remains a sanctuary of devotion and wisdom that will benefit generations to come. I warmly invite everyone to join us in this noble cause,” said Manju Gupta, chairperson of the fundraising committee.

Community leader Neelam Dwivedi added, “The expansion of this sacred space will ensure that future generations inherit a thriving center for devotion and learning. I urge all to come together and support this enduring legacy.”

The temple, which opened in 2023, has become a hub for spiritual, cultural, and educational programming, including book distribution, free classes, and a weekly Sunday feast open to the public.
