The Bhagavan Nityananda Temple Renovation Project 2025

On March 15, 2025, the SYDA Foundation Board of Trustees approved The Bhagavan Nityananda Temple Renovation Project 2025.  

We anticipate the project to start in April and continue for several months. The renovations will include a new wall behind the gazebo, vinyl cover for the roof, rain gutters and flashing, a new carpet, and painting.

For everyone’s safety, the Temple will be closed while construction is going on (Monday to Friday, 8:00 a.m.–5:00 p.m.). Meditation in the Temple on Wednesdays will be moved to Shaktinilaya Hall for the duration of the project.

We thank the Board of Trustees for approving this renovation project and all of you for your support.
