00:00 Good morning, we're at the BAPS Shri Swaminarayan Hindu Mandir in Taylor in Canberra and I'm
00:15 here with Naresh Patel, a volunteer and we're going to be doing this interview in Hindi
00:22 with English subtitles.
00:23 Namaste Naresh ji, kaise ho aap?
00:24 Namaste, bahot hi achha ho, aap kaise ho?
00:25 Mai bhi thek ho.
00:26 Aur mai bas jaana chahati ho thi ki yeh mandir banane mein kitna waqt laga?
00:33 Yeh mandir banane mein takriban 18-20 maine lagge.
00:37 Aur isme kaafi volunteers ka hi main efforts hai aur obviously the builder ne bahoti achcha
00:46 kaam kiya hai jiski wajah se yeh mandir aaj apne pyaron pe ekdum sahi dharike se kada
00:50 ho gaye.
00:51 Aapke samuday, community ke liye is mandir ka kya mahatwa hai?
00:54 Mandir, baise toh jaana jata hai ki worship place hota hai, har koi apni worship ke liye
01:01 ek jagah pe jata hai, jaise Christian log church mein jata hai aur apne-apne religion
01:05 ke log according to their own places mein jata hai, toh humare liye mandir hai, woh Hindu
01:10 and jo Hindu ko follow karte hai, woh sab log mandir mein jata hai, that's one thing,
01:14 but because yeh sirf mandir nahi, balki community centre bhi hai, isme bahot saare activities
01:19 hoti hai, jise ki har sunday ko humare assembly hoti hai, uske baad hum log bhinav saukh barte
01:26 hai jo bhi assembly mein aata hai usko, then bahot saare clean up activities, community
01:30 work hum log karte rahete hai, aur yeh sab kuch mandir se juda hota hai, toh mandir se
01:35 building nahi hota hai, but it develops the community around.
