FINANCIAL INFORMATION INTRO.
Gurdwara Information:
The Gurdwara land is located at 3636 Murillo Ave, San Jose, CA 95148. This land is over 40 acres and was purchased in 1996 for $2.2 million. Since the Gurdwara did not have enough funds available, construction of new building was delayed. After the initial plan, it was determined that the building construction cost will exceed 20 million dollars. The Gurdwara Committee then decided to split construction into two phases and requested Sangat (devotees) to give personal loans to build the Gurdwara. In 1998 and 1999, several members from Sangat gave personal loans to Gurdwara to start construction of the Gurdwara Building. In July 2003, loans given by Sangat were more than $4.5 million. All of the funding from loans was invested in construction of the Phase 1. In August 2003, part of the current land was sold to a home builder for $6.75 million. From the proceeds of sale, the $2.2 million loan from Wells Fargo and all personal loans from Sangat were paid off. To continue building construction, the Gurdwara Committee again requested personal loans from Sangat in September 2003. At present, the Gurdwara has about $1.1 million in loans from Sangat. With Waheguru's grace, Phase 1 of the Gurdwara is complete. Without Sangat's loans and strong support, the Gurdwara Committee could not have accomplished monumental task of building the Gurdwara. Dependent upon fund available, Phase 2 building construction is already in progress!
