In The Hague, Netherlands, the largest mandir complex of Europe will be built by 2014. It will be built and financed by ISKCON, the Arya Samaj and the Sikhs. In The Hague live about 60,000 Hindus and Sikhs. Two appartement buildings will be part of the project.
The walls between the three mandirs can slide to connect the three spaces, which will give room for 1500 people on special occasions.
Interesting to note is that ISKCON seems to have become the representative of the Sanatana Dharma.

I find it difficult to put images on this forum, this should have been in the previous post, obviously. Can one put more than one image in a post? Attachments:

Yes, it's so ironic is'nt it?
The founder of ISKCON utterly disssociated ISKCON philosophy from Hinduism and made it a point to distinguish GV-Krishna philosophy from other schools which to this day ISKCON followers and enablers point out to anyone who cares to ask, yet we see there would be this holy alliance with other groups whose theologies are quite distinct from GVism .
Yes, the plot gets fuzzier.

Membership amongst Western Europeans and Americas has greatly declined over the years in ISKCON. ISKCON is largely hindu financed and supported, with much of the labor provided by Eastern Europeans and Russians.
