Pura Secapa Bandung

Pura Secapa Bandung / Pura Vira Chandra Dharma

I might not really a religious person but since I live in Bandung I realized that I have nothing but God to talk about everything. I did not know that there is a temple near Bandung until my friend, Erwin, accompanied me to visit the temple. Since then, I regularly visited the temple, to say thanks and to share what I have in mind with God. 

Pura Secapa located in Indonesia Army area. The temple has a sure name (Pura Vira Chandra Dharma) but since it is located in Secapa (Sekolah Calon Perwira TNI AD), this temple known as Pura Secapa Bandung. This area is guarded by Indonesian army, to get here, we have to open up our helmet or car windows. The temple located near a church. If  you visit the temple in Saturday or Sunday, you will meet many people go to church. 

Whenever you are, do not forget with your root. When I visited the temple with Erwin, we met a man who told us about 'how it would be living in Bandung as a Hindu'. He shared that many people changed their religions because they forget their roots. I do not want to judge those people, they have their reason to do what they believe. Here, I want to state that do not forget where you come from. I sometimes feel that I don't deserve to 'meet' God since I am a sin person, but my friend told me that God would never judge. He would welcome, everyone who wants to talk to Him. I made mistake, I made sin, but I visit temple regularly. We are just human.
