Thurston Hindu Temple & Cultural Center (THTCC) is a registered 501(c)(3) non-profit organization with Internal Revenue Services (IRS) & Washington Secretary of State. All donations and sponsorship are tax-deductible. The THTCC will meet local community’s growing need for a true religious, spiritual and cultural center. 

The VISION of the THTCC is to create a sacred space where the divine, the human, and the cosmos meet, guiding individuals towards realization and harmonious living.

In simple terms, its vision includes:

• Manifesting the presence of God on earth through the deity (murti).
• Helping devotees progress spiritually, leading towards inner peace and moksha (liberation).
• Preserving and expressing dharma, culture, art, and sacred knowledge.
• Serving as center for community life, worship, festivals, learning and service.
• Promoting harmony between humans, nature, and the divine.

In essence:
A Hindu temple envisions being a gateway from the material world to the spiritual realm, inspiring devotion, discipline, and unity with the cosmic truth (Brahman).
