Shri Surya Narayan Mandir, Inc (SSNM) was founded in 1993 by the late Dharmacharya Pt. Hardowar Panday and its mission is to serve as a teaching institution of Sanatan Dharma (Hinduism). The primary goal of Surya Mandir is to bring out the true essence, philosophy, and teachings of our Shastras during regular services, programs, and classes in an easily understandable manner. It is our hope that all devotes especially the children will utilize these teachings and inculcate the values thought into their lives as they strive to reach the ultimate goal of mankind, Moksha.
