About Hindu Temple Of Greater Tulsa

The Hindu Temple of Greater Tulsa was established in the year 2001 to serve the devotional, cultural and spiritual needs of the Hindu community in and around Tulsa. "God is omnipresent. Heat is a form of energy that the sun produces that reach us as sun rays, a cloth will not catch fire unless the sun’s rays are focused on it using a lens. Similarly to obtain the grace of omnipresent god we build temples where we can focus the power of the lord in consecrated idols for our benefit in the easiest way." Hindus see divinity infused in idols and therefore offer abishekams, alankara, archana, naivedyam, haarti and many other upacharas to gods. Hindus also consider god as king of kings, we offer our talent in music, dance, decorations, food and other upacharas. The idol full of divinity is an object of beauty and, worthy of meditation.
