President’s Message

Dear Brothers, Sisters and loving young friends,

Jai Shree Ram!

Sunday, Feb 10th marked another milestone in the glorious history of Hari Om Mandir, Medinah, IL. Baba

Balak Nath Ji’s Murti was installed with full devotion amidst Holy Mantras, Poojas and Pran Pratishtha

Ceremony was performed by Pandit Dinesh Kumar Ji on the auspicious day of Basant Panchami. Five Main

Sponsor Families: Brij & Vijay Sharma, Dr. Anand & Aruna Lal, Dr. Kishan Chand & Dr. Krishna Pahuja,

Naveen & Anshu Paul, Dr Arun & Sushma Verma performed all the rituals and the Murti was formally unveiled

to occupy its Holy Space in the Shiv Durbar area.

With due regards to ALL the generous Donors & Volunteers of the Hari Om Parivar, and the special efforts of

Mr. Ashok & Shama Sharma and Family, who have been organizing Baba Ji’s Bhandara and Bhajan Kirtan for

the past two years, this addition was made possible. It is with their efforts that the Program gained much

popularity and eventually, we have Baba Ji’s Murti, along with the other Deities, permanently installed in the

Mandir.

Bunty Bawa from California, an ardent follower & Bhakt of Baba Balak Nath Ji, flew in especially to join the

Grand Celebrations and sang Bhajans in Glory of Baba Balak Nath. His Dabang Voice, Loud Clapping and

Non-Stop Singing, regaled the audiences and everyone in the packed house Congregation was seen singing

along!

Basant Panchami was also celebrated in the true spirit of the festival. The Mandir was beautifully decorated

with Yellow flowers, and all the Devotees were also dressed in Yellow attires. Pandit Ji recited special Mantras

for Saraswati Pooja and blessed all the children present there. The Kids of HOM Hindi Class sang Saraswati

Vandana and offered flowers to the Goddess of Learning, Knowledge & Wisdom.

On behalf of all the HOM Devotees, I would like to pay my tribute to the 40 Jawans of the Indian Army (CRPF)

who lost their lives on Feb 14th in the Pulwama terrorist attack, and offer condolences to the bereaved families.

On Sun, Feb 17th the Mandir organized “Shraddhanjali” for the Martyrs and everybody in the congregation

offered Rose Petals and prayed for peace to the departed souls.

I would now like to draw your attention to the upcoming Divine Festival of Maha Shivratri on March 4, and the

Colorful Holi on March 24. Like every year, we shall be celebrating all these functions with great devotion &

enthusiasm. I request you all to join us and be a part of the festivities.

Once again, my sincere THANKS to all my Board Members of EB & BOT for their continued support and co-

operation in organizing special events in the Mandir. Please feel free to share your views & opinions to improve

the working & programs in the temple.

With Sincere Regards,

Vipan Wadhera.
