PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE

Dear Brothers, Sisters and loving young friends,

Jai Shree Ram!

With the blessings of Shri Ram and Maa Durga, 2017 started off with great enthusiasm & joy amongst the

Devotees – Ramayan Path & Mata Ki Chowki set the ball rolling for a prosperous New Year, followed by the

vibrant Lohri celebrations on Jan, 13th. People in large numbers attended and enjoyed the Winter Foods on

this occasion. My THANKS to all the Volunteers who worked hard to make this program a grand success.

Special thanks to the Food In charge Mrs. Shubh Sharma, Mrs. Usha Verma, Star Foods, Maharaja Restaurant

and several other Ladies who helped cooking in the Kitchen; Decorations led by Aarti Singla, Garima, Sunil and

Team; Cultural Evening Program organized by Subhash Sharma & Team.

I would like to welcome the new Members on my Team – Mohan Sunder (Treasurer), Indu Wadhwa

(Publications) and Madhu Gupta (Outside Property) who have already started working on their responsibilities

with great passion and are excited to serve the Society. Also, no Event in the Mandir can be successfully

accomplished without the assistance of our Manager Mr. Hardev Raj and our Priest Pandit Dinesh Kumar & his

wife Sushila Ji…..my heartfelt thanks to them for everything.

Devotees also had the opportunity to enjoy the melodious Bhajans sung by Mr. Vijay Bhatnagar and Ms.

Archana. A new Program is being launched in 2017 – Baba Balak Nath Chowki, which will be held on every 5th

Sunday coming up in a month – the very first program happened to be on the 29th of Jan, and was very well

organized by Mr. Ashok and his wife Shama Sharma. Several other devotees joined to sing bhajans/bhents in

the glory of Baba Balak Nath.

Republic Day of India, (26th of Jan), was also celebrated with great Patriotism and Pride. I truly Appreciate and

Thank you all for participating and celebrating all our Indian festivals with such enthusiasm. I encourage you to

come forward with any ideas, suggestions, feedback for the betterment & improvement in our Programs,

Activities, Events, Facilities etc, so we can involve our Youth and pass on good traditions to the coming

generations.

I would also like to APPEAL to my Hari Om Parivar & Friends, to come forward and celebrate your personal

joys like Birthdays, Anniversaries, Achievements etc by Sponsoring Sunday Havan & Prasad, or, Mata Ki Chowki

on the 1st Sat of the month. We have an ongoing Calendar, where you can block the dates as per your

convenience. Two or more Families can also join hands to sponsor the food and seek Blessings collectively.

Please contact any Board Member for more details.
