PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE – OCTOBER 2018

Dear Brothers, Sisters and loving young Friends,

The month of September gone by was extremely SPECIAL, as we had a wonderful, fruitful and financially

strong Fund Raiser Event this year. With the GENEROUS DONATIONS from our esteemed Guests & Members

of the HOM Parivar, we raised a record amount – close to 300, 000 Dollars!!! My heartfelt & sincere THANKS

to ALL the Devotees who attended the Program and contributed with open hearts for the future growth &

development of the Temple.

I would also like to congratulate the Chairman, Fund Raising Committee, Mr. Anil Saxena & his Team, for

putting up a Grand Program. The Venue & Décor, The Entertainment, The Food, The Prizes etc etc were all

very well organized and highly appreciated by everybody. The Emcees of the Evening, Mrs. Madhu Arya and

Mrs. Anita Rawal did a great job of motivating the people to keep the funds flowing in….The lead singers

Bhupinder Singh and Rama Raghuraman and DJ Saif regaled the audiences with their melodious voices and

there was not a dull moment!

On the 2nd of September, we also celebrated the Birth of Lord Krishna with great pomp and show. My

thanks to the Mr. Subhash Sharma, Rama Kapoor, Mona Sharma, Bhavna Mantri who sang wonderful

Krishna Bhajans to welcome Krishna Kanhaiya Lal at Midnight!!! Pandit Dinesh Kumar Ji had beautifully set

up the “Jhoola” for the auspicious arrival of “Ladoo Gopal” and after the “Abhishek”, devotees lined up to

seek Blessings from the Lord.

We are now heading into the last quarter of the year, and also looking forward to celebrating the much

awaited Navratre, Karva Chauth & Diwali Festivals. As always, we shall be making special arrangements for

the Ladies to have the Katha and Pooja done for this special day of Fasting.

Last but not the least, I owe a BIG THANK YOU to my Team Members – EB & BOT for their continued support

and Help in the smooth functioning of the Temple. All the day-to-day activities and the special events are

not possible without them.

Let us TOGETHER keep doing the good work and accomplish new heights in the coming years.

GOD BLESS ALL,

With Sincere Regards,

Vipan Wadhera.
