About Sri Hari Temple
Nestled in the serene landscapes of Towrang, New South Wales, Sri Hari Temple is more than just a place of worship—it is a spiritual home for seekers of peace and divine connection.
Our Essence
We are dedicated to the path of Bhakti (Devotion), bridging the worship of the Supreme Preserver, Sri Hari (Vishnu), with the dynamic energy of the Mother Divine. Our temple stands as a beacon of Sanatana Dharma, inviting individuals from all walks of life to experience the transformative power of prayer, community, and selfless service.
At Sri Hari Temple, we believe that spirituality is not confined to rituals alone, but is a living practice that transforms the heart and elevates consciousness. Through the sacred vibrations of mantras, the beauty of devotional worship, and the warmth of community, we create a sanctuary where seekers can find their inner center.

This sacred union represents the eternal dance of consciousness and energy that sustains all existence.
Lalita Sahasranama: The Heartbeat of Our Temple
One of the most profound pillars of our worship is the chanting of the Sri Lalita Sahasranama (The Thousand Names of the Divine Mother). This ancient hymn is not merely a ritual; it is a powerful spiritual tool that transforms consciousness and elevates the soul.
Purifies the Mind
The vibrations of the Sanskrit names cleanse the atmosphere and the heart, removing obstacles and negativity.
Invokes Blessings
Each name unlocks a specific attribute of the Divine Mother, bringing abundance, health, and wisdom.
Unites the Community
Chanting together creates a collective energy of peace that radiates beyond the temple walls.
We invite you to join us in this sacred recitation and feel the embrace of the Goddess. Through the Lalita Sahasranama, we connect with the infinite compassion and wisdom of the Divine Mother, transforming our inner world and contributing to the healing of the world.
Our Motivation
Our motivation is simple yet profound: to establish a sanctuary where the ancient echoes of the Vedas meet the silence of the Australian bushland. We believe that through the worship of Sri Hari and the Mother Divine, every seeker can find their inner center. At Sri Hari Temple, we cultivate a community bound by the sacred vibrations of the Lalita Sahasranama, ensuring that the light of Sanatana Dharma continues to guide our hearts and homes.
