A Sacred Mission

 

 
 

Lord Balaji Temple

As a community, we are blessed to have homes and places of comfort — yet our beloved Lord Venkateswara (Balaji) does not yet have a permanent abode in Gloucester. Guided by devotion and community spirit, we are working towards establishing a sacred space where devotees can gather, worship, and experience the divine presence of Lord Balaji along with Sri Devi and Bhoo Devi.

At present, the Holy TTD Balaji idols are being hosted at Shiv Shakthi Temple, Wolverhampton, as a temporary arrangement. With the blessings of Lord Balaji, we are organising weekly makeshift temple gatherings in Gloucester. During these gatherings, we respectfully welcome the Lord, perform poojas, conduct darshan, and host spiritual and community activities for devotees of all ages.

Our immediate goal is to secure a temporary facility for our temple through a 6-month lease. Until then, we continue to hire halls weekly to ensure uninterrupted spiritual services and gatherings. The only barrier between us and establishing a consistent makeshift temple presence is financial support to secure and maintain a suitable venue.

With collective effort, devotion, and generosity from our community, we believe we can soon establish a dedicated space for Lord Balaji in Gloucester and begin daily poojas and regular spiritual programs. In this regard, we urge support from every one no matter how small or big the contribution is.

Patient testimonials


It’s helpful to have a provider who is thorough both in the office visit and the follow up contact. I’ve already recomended this place to friends and family.

Dawson Myers


Not only was I having problems with my vision but my eyes were also itchy, irritated and red. They treated for dry eyes and my eyes feel great!

Alton Shelton


The hours are great, and I didn’t have to wait long, what I also like about your office is that you are up-to-date with state-of the-art equipment.
