The Asamai Hindu Temple of Flushing originates from Kabul, Afghanistan, and has been established here in Queens for more than a decade. The followers of Asamai believe in the Devine Godess Sherawali aka Asamai (Mother Of Hope). The original Akhand Jyoti which has been burning in Afghanistan's Asamai Mandir for centuries has also been brought here and remains lit in both Flushing and Hicksville's Asamai Mandir. Please do come visit and feel the presence of the Divine Mother.
Jai Mata Di!

The Asamai temple is at the foothills of the central hill Koh-i-Asamai of the Afghan capital. The hill is named Asamai after Asha, the goddess of hope said to be present on the hilltop since ancient times. The Akhand Jyoti (continuous fire) there has been burning uninterrupted for many centuries. The temple and the Jyoti have survived numerous conflicts in Kabul and are reminders of Afghanistan under the Hindu Shahi kings. The Asamai temples of New York, Faridabad, Frankfurt and Amsterdam are named after the famous Kabul temple.
