The SSSM was founded in 2002. Since its inception, it has acquired outstanding support from the devotees and the community. The Murties of Mahadevji ( in the Ling form), Umiaji, Ambaji, Maa Khodiar, Ganeshji, Hanumanji, Baliadev, Nandikeshwar and Kurma were bought from India and shipped to Houston in 2004. When the Murties arrived, we had no temple facility to store them so we approached Gujarati Samaj of Houston to see if they could accommodate them in the then Gandhi Center. Unfortunately Gandhi center was sold so the Murties were stored in a devotee's business warehouse. The Murties of Panchmukhi Hanuman and Shanidev arrived in 2013 and those of Varundev - Julelal-Dariyalal arrived in 2014.
