Later the committee decided to incorporate a not-for-profit corporation for the purpose and named it as \u2018SANATAN DHARMA TEMPLE \u2013 LE TEMPLE DE SANATAN RELIGION\u2019. It was incorporated on April 2, 2007. On August 2, 2013, a building was purchased at 6219-6225 Boul Monk, Montreal, Quebec to house the Temple with the generous contributions from the members of the Temple. The grand inauguration of the Temple was done on March 9, 2014 with the ceremonious celebration of the vivification(pran pratishtha) of the images\/idols of the deities.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>MISSION AND PURPOSES:<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">1.
