As narrated by Dev Mukhopadhyay
April (21st) 2007 Monthly Puja was sponsored by Nirmala and Suresh Kotagal, Neeru and Mukesh Bhatia, Daksha and Naresh Chuggani, Sridevi and Suresh Yanambaka, Parinita and Diganta Borgohain.
Puja was performed with great enthusiasm and devotion at The Hindu Samaj Temple. It began with a prayer to Lord Ganesh followed by the group chanting. Shlokas were led by sweet voices of Balagokulam kids (Sanjivini Suresh and others). Later, all the devotees chanted seven times the prayer of Lord Hanuman(Sri Hanuman Chalisa) to get rid of the all obstacles in our lives.
Our President, Suresh Chari, gave Temple as well as the community updates. Afterwards, all devotees prayed for the peace of victims and their families related to the Virginia Tech massacre.
Again, few melodious Bhajans filled the temple with an amicable atmosphere and Aarti illuminated the minds of all devotees. Finally, with the offering of prasadam & wonderful dinner, every one departed happily.
