by Guantanamera "Ajita, suppose there is a person who speaks to another person, saying, 'There is a sutra called the Lotus. Let us go together and listen to it.' And suppose, having been urged, the other person goes and even for an instant listens to the sutra. The benefits of the first person will be such that when he is reborn he will be born in the same place as dharani bodhisattvas. He will have keen faculties and wisdom. For a hundred, a thousand, ten thousand ages he will never be struck dumb." -- from the Lotus Sutra Leave a Comment

by Guantanamera Devotees and visitors to the Lotus Temple often gather underneath the temple itself, alongside these pools... There is shade underneath to escape from Delhi's infamous imposing heat and the pools create a peaceful atmosphere... The Lotus Temple is open from 9:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. during summer and from 9:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. during winter... Leave a Comment Phone: +91-11 647-0526Directions: Kalkaji District of Delhi.

by Guantanamera The Baha'i faith asserts the unity of all the world's major religions. However, some muslims are in conflict with the Baha'i because according to Islam, Muhammed was the last prophet whereas according to Baha'i, Baha'ullah was also a prophet and he came after Mohammed... This is a point of debate among the various believers... It is a big part of the trouble with religion: conflict is inevitable due to differences in the various dogmas...

by Guantanamera An Indian woman in traditional salwar kameez stands on the path leading to the Lotus Temple... The grounds of the temple are incredible spacious and well-groomed, emanating a feeling of serenity and peace... You must remove your shoes before entering the upper precincts of the temple and before you approach that area there is a small building specifically built to store them, free of charge...

The Bahai Temple - Completed in 1986, the Bahai temple is set amidst pools and gardens, and adherents of any faith are free to visit the temple and pray or meditate silently according to their own religion. The structure is in lotus shape so it often called the lotus temple. The view of the temple is very spectacular just before dusk when the temple is flood lit. Close on Monday Leave a Comment

 Lotus Temple by DSwede In my opinion, the photo here is all you need to see of the Lotus Temple. It was made just a few years ago, and is made of concrete. As you get closer, there are a few interesting angles of the structure, but the interior is sterile and dull. I think this temple is beautiful from a distance, but looses its luster as you get closer.

 Lotus Temple in Delhi.... by kenmerk The Lotus Temple is one of the newer buildings in Delhi that has a certain modern grace to it. (sorta like the Opera house in Sydney, maybe...) And it also seems to be quite popular with the locals. (the place was swamped when we arrived...) It is billed as a sort of non-denominational temple where anyone can come and worship... The grounds are certainly attractive, but I kinda got that "Moonies at the airport, Do you want to buy a flower ???" feeling here... (no real reason for this, just a hunch....) Leave a Comment

by tarush The Lotus Temple in South Delhi is the seventh and most recent Baha'i house of worship in the World. Completed in 1986 and visited by over four million people annually, it is crystallization of aspirations of Baha'i followers in over 200 countries. This temple signifies the purity and the universality of the lord and the equality of all religion. The temple is designed to make people conscious about the beauty of life. For, life's beauty can be preserved, rising as the lotus out of swampy slime, clean and perfect - a manifestation of god. Leave a Comment
