DAKSHINA & GRATUITY POLICY:
One of the main goals of our Temple has been and continues to be to provide the highest levels of religious services and other auxiliary services to the faithful, whether in the Temple or in their homes. We are extremely pleased to recognize the tireless efforts of our priests and kitchen staff for their dedicated service. To further improve our services, we now inform the devotees who request the services of our priests outside and inside the Temple to confirm the event with the anticipation of the name of the priest assigned for the service. We constantly evaluate the comments of the faithful in order, whenever possible, to improve the quality of our services and to implement their suggestions. Due to the requirements dictated by Temple needs, it is not always possible to assign all priests to provide external services at any time, without affecting the quality of service rendered in the Temple.
To be fair to all priests, Devasthãnam has established a fair system whereby the dakshina won by all priests for services rendered inside and outside the Temple will be equally distributed among ALL PRIESTS, so that there is no priest left. In the same way, a separate group has been established for the gratuity earned by the kitchen staff and the staff and funds of the community center in these groups will be distributed equally between ALL THE KITCHEN STAFF AND ALL THE STAFF OF THE CENTER COMMUNITY, respectively.
However, this system of grouping and the equitable distribution of dakshina / gratuity among the staff will only be effective if the devotees fully understand the foundations that support it and observe the following suggestions:
a) As much as possible, DO NOT make cash payments.
b) DO NOT pay dakshina / gratuityor tips separately to priests, cooks or kitchen staff.
c) Make your payment BY A CHECK on behalf of the Hindu Temple Society of North America or BY CREDIT CARD.
d) Please CIRCLE the check in the envelope provided and give it to the priest.
e) COMPLETE the printed form on the envelope or card for the kitchen / community center staff showing the distribution of your payment between the services, pooja samagri, dakshina / gratuity We ask ALL devotees to extend their full cooperation in this regard.
Thank you.
