PRESIDENT S MESSAGE Dear Brothers, Sisters and loving young friends, Jai Shree Ram! We had a very busy month of September with programs & activities for our all-round development BODY, MIND & SOUL!!! Yogiraj Omprakash ji Maharaj and Dr. Sandeep, from Faridabad, India held a week long Musical Yoga and Meditation Camp in the Mandir Basement. This was a very unique experience where participants performed the Exercises and Asanas in a fun filled atmosphere, humming popular Hindi songs/bhajans. People also benefitted from Guru Ji s vast knowledge of Ayurveda, Naturopathy and Healing Tips. Dr. Sandeep, who is an accomplished Doctor & Physiotherapist helped several Devotees to cure day to day ailments with his massage techniques and simple exercises. The Camp concluded with an intense session on Meditation and a pure Vedic Havan performed by Guru Ji for the wellbeing of ALL the members of the HOM Parivar and Community at large. We also celebrated the auspicious 9 Days of Navratrey with great Enthusiasm and Joy. HOM is truly Blessed to have Devotees who sing & dance in praise of Maa Durga during these special Holy Days. A Vishal Mata Ki Chowki was organized and a well-known artist from India, Raj Tiwari, joined us to sing the Glory of Ma Jagdamba. His beautiful Bhents, mesmerizing Voice and Pleasant personality, made the evening a memorable one! I would like to THANK all my Team Members who join hands and come forward every time, to make the Events in HOM Special, Grand and Successful. As we are marching towards the end of this Year, I would like to APPEAL to all my friends and family of the HOM Parivar, to help me in the ONE LAST BIG Function of the Year Annual Fund Raiser. We have special project this year: Project Elevator to serve seniors and devotees with disabilities. However, FUNDS are the basic necessity to accomplish anything. So, it is my Humble Request to one & all please contribute generously for your very own Temple and build a prosperous Future! My Team is working hard on preparing a nice Entertainment Program, a Lavish Dinner, attractive Raffle Prizes, to provide a fun-filled Evening, so hurry and buy your Tickets!!! SEE YOU ALL on Oct. 7th at the Meadows Club! As always, please share your views, suggestions and feedback with any of our dedicated Team Members.
