Sri HariHara Peetham — Attraction in Coppell

I visited the temple with friends on Saturday evening to pray and have some spiritual time, and it started off a bit confusing. It was located in a complex with no signboard indicating the temple, and there were no signs to guide us, so we weren’t even sure we were in the right place until we found the entrance. Inside, things seemed a little chaotic at first with no clear organization, and we were surprised when we were asked to help clean dishes. Initially, we thought this might be an issue with the temple’s management, but as we got involved, we realized it was simply an invitation to serve in the spirit of community involvement.

As we worked together, we realized how fortunate we were to contribute directly to the temple’s mission. Later, when we checked the temple’s website, we discovered their SevaSai program and learned that much of the temple’s work is supported by community volunteers. The program focuses on service, inclusion, and community engagement, and it became clear that the temple relies on volunteers like us for much of its operations.

What initially seemed like an inconvenience turned into a deeply fulfilling experience, and we left feeling blessed to have played a part in the temple’s efforts. The SevaSai program’s emphasis on inclusivity and charitable service is truly inspiring, and we’re grateful for the chance to contribute. I would highly recommend this temple to anyone looking to engage in meaningful volunteer work while experiencing a welcoming atmosphere and the opportunity to serve the...

Today we had aksharabyasam for my kid at hari hara peetam.. we were very disappointed choosing hari hara peetam and dissatisfied experience.

They told $101 for Pooja and informed us we need not to bring anything for puja and they will provide us the kit..even informed same for all other devotees it seems.. once we were there today morning by 9.35 there was no one available at temple after waiting for 30min outsid ..one priest came up and opened temple and started asking did u brought coconuts..did u brought Pooja samagri..do u brought fruits Flowers and we were so confused.. we clearly asked them two days before whether to bring Pooja samagri and they told not to bring anything... even they told they will provide slate and pencil As part of kit But nothing was given. Also They did pooja was for a name sake fashion and utterly disappointing priest.. generally aksharabyasam involves writing words in rice first (there is no ritual happened) he is so short tempered and everyone suffered like anything. At last presit closed the puja in 30min and demanded 51 dollars minimum dakshina from everyone.

Literally it's a wrong choice for us to choose hari hara peetam for Pooja ... I suggest shiridi sai temple or DFW temple rather than this temple for any Pooja...

Subramanya Sharma garu is an amazing person and a priest. Since 2012, I’ve visited this temple several times including the temple’s busiest and emptiest days. Though times/seasons and situations (pre/post Covid) have changed, what remained constant is his passion towards his profession. Dakshina is an offering to the priest as a token of respect and gratitude for imparting knowledge, performing rituals, or guidance. Buying a ticket for pooja is NOT Dakshina but goes to the fund of temple development. Salaries for priests in US small Indian temples are nominal and particularly post Covid one should not expect that they can live a comfortable life with it. Yet, I never seen him asking anyone for Dakshina As reasonable people it is our job to show gratitude(in the form of Dakshina) to them in whatever capacity we can.. It is totally okay if you don’t want to give dakshina and get a pooja and advice. Please reach out to him and...
