As the Big Ben strikes from the bunds of river Thames, a divine temple bell reciprocates from a serene London suburb. Meanwhile, celestial sparkles erupt from the snowy Alpine ashrams in Switzerland, when we hear those sacred chants. Same is the story, in every nation across the five oceans. Hindu temples have anchored strong roots, wherever Indians live. The magnificent diaspora of scholars, engineers, doctors or workers, carried their devotional customs and memory with absolute passion. This concise book has attempted to follow their path. The initial chapters of the book explore the essentials of Hinduism as a religion and their core values. Then, it takes us on a global inter-continental journey to highlight the origin, architecture, rituals, of each temple. It is fascinating to document, how the lamps of faith, shared meals, and volunteer service have helped generations of Indians feel at home under unfamiliar skies. Above all, the author hopes, this book will help us realise and disseminate the core value of Hindu belief system — The Sanathan Dharma, which argues for eternal unity and peace among humanity. Now, open the book and join this unique global journey, to celebrate our life and culture, that echo across the world, spreading the glory of India.
