Vol. 26 No. 1-3JANUARY-SEPTEMBER-2013
Dear Devotees,
I am honored to write this message and thankful for the opportunity to serve our beloved temple and the community for the year 2013-14. There has been delay in getting this edition of Paschima Vani and the delay could not be averted. The Operations Team endeavors to bring Paschima Vani to you on schedule in future.
As you know, there has been a lot of construction activity during the past 2+ years. Event halls in building#C, Building#D and the new kitchen have been operational. We have received excellent feedback on how we utilized the facilities for the New Year Day. I am happy to inform that construction of Lakireddy Multi-Purpose Hall is now complete under the direct supervision of Shri B.R. Govinda Rao and we have since secured Occupancy Permit for the Hall. Pravesha Puja for the Hall was performed on August 18th and Samoohika Sri Satyanarayana Puja is scheduled to be performed on August 25th before making the Hall open to other events. Parking constraints that we have been experiencing for the past several years will be mitigated after completion of East Parking Lot which I expect to be completed by the end of September, 2013.
As always, several events are scheduled for the coming festival season and the new parking lot will be fully operational for the season. Please look for detailed schedule from the HCCC website and mark your calendar to attend the events with your family and friends. The Board of Directors has since appointed Priest Selection Committee with Shri NS Rao as Chairman for the committee. The committee is working very actively and I hope we will have new priests during the coming 3-4 months.
We just concluded the first ever Hindu Heritage Camp under Dr. Kamala Shankar’s leadership. The maiden attempt was a grand success with a variety of activities during the week.
Expanded facilities and services demand more planning and more funds to ensure upkeep of the facilities and quality service. While management team is taking all possible steps to maintain the facilities as efficiently as possible and religious rituals as authentic and consistent as possible, there is an increasing need for new volunteers and new thoughts. At this time, we need your generous donations and active participation as volunteer more than ever. I, Shri Jamal Sarma, President, and other management team members invite community members for their support and request to participate in serving the community. You will find more information about various donor programs at our website. Or, you may also approach any management team member or administrative office to learn more about donation programs and volunteer opportunities.
Again, please mark your calendars with the events planned for the coming festival season and participate in all events with all your family members and friends.
May God bless all of us!
Best regards,
(Boda Rao)
