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, 13 th. 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 5 th Sunday coming up in a month the very first program happened to be on the 29 th 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, (26 th 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.
