Panditji is available at the Mandir for all your religious activities during the normal hours of operation. To book a priest for your private functions, please contact the Mandir at 403-291-2551.
The society is funded entirely by donations and continual support of the its members and yajmans. Members and others requesting services of the Mandir's priests will be advised ahead of time of the amount of dakshina to be offered to the priests and donations to the mandir according to the following guidelines.
Dakshina
In determining the amount of dakshina to be offered to the priest, the yajman should take into account the time devoted by the priest to the performance of a particular ceremony and in reaching the venue of this service.
Dakshina should be clearly marked and not mixed with Aarti money. No tax deductible receipt will be issued for dakshina.
Aarti Collection
For puja held outside the Mandir, the yajman should be encouraged to consider the money collected for Aarti as an extension of the mandir's Aarti collection. Therefore, this money should be offered to the mandir.
Donation to the Mandir
All yajmans have an obligation to donate to the Mandir on the occasion of pooja performed by the priest at their homes or at other venues. However, for non-members of the society, in addition to the dakshina, a minimum donation of $101 to the Society is expected.
