about icct temple
India Cultural Center and Temple was established in 1981 to provide services and a place to the Hindu Community in and around Memphis for cultural, religious, spiritual, charitable, educational, and literary activities.
These will be achieved by appointing Vedic priests who perform pujas and rituals in the temple to the installed deities according to Vaikhanasa and Karana Agama as defined by the Vedas and Upanishads. The priests will also fulfil the spiritual needs of the Hindu community by providing services through personal pujas and rituals both at home and at the Temple.
The Cultural center was established to provide a venue for the social and cultural activities of the local Hindu community, to provide a forum for religious discourses for better understanding of Hindu religion and philosophy, to educate the younger generation in developing their identity as Hindus, to promote art, music and languages, and to foster goodwill and understanding among all sections of Hindus and other religious organizations.
The India Cultural Center and Temple will accomplish the above mission in a vegetarian environment, free of alcohol, drugs, smoking and weapons.
ICCT is pleased, excited and proud to announce that we are undertaking an historical and remarkable project, Kotilingalingita Poorna Kailasa Prastharam (Kotilinga Kshetram) which is the 4th phase of growth and development of India Cultural Center and Temple.

Significance & Importance of Linga Pratishta
Koti-Lingams (Ten million) indicate the omni presence of Lord Shiva the father of universe. He is represented in an egg shaped stones symbolic of Cosmic Egg from which all universes emanated. Bana Lingams are the special stones from Narmada river in Omkareswar, India and they are considered to be Swayambhu (Self Manifest) Shiva Saligramams. Because of their unique mineral content, these Bana Lingams emit positive energy. This unique concept enhances the emission of positive energy from Bana Lingams combined with vibrations of Srichakra. Once established, this will be the only place in world with unique vibrant Srichakra adorned with 10 million Shiva Lingams drawing pilgrims and visitors from all around the world. These vibrations will bring auspiciousness to not only Memphis and North America but to the entire world.

According to Shiva Puranam, Consecration of a Shiva Lingam will erase countless number of sins from numerous past lives of the devotee. The great epic Ramayana tells us, Lord Rama installed 10 million Shiva Lingams all over India to get rid of his Brahmahatya Patakam (Great sin of killing a Brahmagnani – Ravana).
The donor has a unique opportunity to install Shiva Lingams with their own hands and erase negative karma from many of their past lives. The names of the donors who contribute $10K and above will be engraved on the base of their chosen Shiva Lingam. Due to the Grace of Lord Shiva and mother Parvathi, their life will become auspicious and they will be part of a historic event. As with all other projects of ICCT, we hope to be successful with your continued generous support.
