The Eternal Mother(Para Shakti) Temple — Attraction in Pontiac

It was good before. Now its bad. We had been going to Parashakthi Temple and worshiping Mother goddess for the past 4 years. It was so divine and peaceful until recently. Now the priests rule. We have to drive 2 hours to reach Mother goddess temple. So we go on important occasions like birthdays, home purchase, new jobs etc and we always check for pooja, archana, abishegam updates before planning. But the management doesn't update archana details online. When we called the temple authority they said archanas will be performed every 30 mins. The person who sold the archana ticket on the day too said the archana will be done within next 30mins. When we approached the priest for archana he started yelling at us saying "we cannot perform archana for your convenience. I cannot say when the next archana will be..if you can wait for 1 hr wait, else leave". We waited not just for 1hr but for 3hrs hearing the priest sit infront of mother goddess and shout at every single devotee approaching him with an archana ticket. They dont perform archana for mother goddess(main diety) when they are doing abishegam for other deities.

Many devotees come from far places to worship Mother Goddess. Is it so hard to update the archana timings in their website? Is it so hard to perform archana to main diety every 30 mins as they say? Why is the management so disorganized causing a lot of discomfort for the devotees??? We hear a lot of gossips inside the temple, and the priest yelling at the devotees for their confusion is atrocious. What happened to the peaceful environment which once prevailed in the temple to worship mother goddess? Is there a good rest room when we are forced to wait...

Thanks to Dr. Krishna Kumar for all the wonderful lectures he has given and the kind of sacrifices he has made to built this very powerful mystical unique Temple. I used to be a very logically reasoning person, until something dramatic happened at the Temple on a Navarathri day.

All the questions i have been having from childhood (like what is the purpose of life, how creation happened and what is our relationship with God) was answered by Dr. Krishna during his Navarathri lecture. When i asked Dr about this,he said that it was Divine Mother's wish to reveal the information to devotees like me and he was just a mail man who passed on the message.

This is a very mystical temple. Divine Mother will talk to you in this Temple. Whenever i have a question and when i pray to Her, she will answer me through some one.

It is a blessing for me to be associated with this Temple.

My sincere request to everybody is to visit the Temple and get Divine...

Temple building got burnt down in fire 2 years ago and there was a cease and desist from the city when we visited for building violations a few months ago. The place is strewn with debris and is very unhygenic as we noticed the priests were doing prasadam in the small house without any safety precautions. The Priests do a good job but the so called Founder gives talks which are misleading and in between pujas he does not let people focus on Worship. This wastes devotees time and inspite of having kids they make everyone wait till his talks are done. People traveling from far find it very difficult and the space now is very small. Everytime there is a makeshift tent and we are afraid of safety with all the huge equipment blocking cars and there is no proper maintenance and no ventilation. There is no transperancy on how funds are spent being a non profit but the Pujas...
