HINDU SAMAJ
2014 HIGHLIGHTS
RELIGIOUS EVENTS
In the spirit of unity, all major religious events were celebrated drawing from the traditions of all parts of India.
We had nine days of Puja with GANESH JI carved out of butter and HIS visarjan in the Ganga Sagar pond with
hundreds in the procession; Balloons and lights filled the Temple on Krishna Janamashtami; Maha Shiv Ratri was
celebrated with great devotion throughout the day and night; Ram Nauvmi infused with devotional bhajans for Sai
Baba ji; Auspicious Jain Celebrations of Mahavir Jayanti; Celebration of Durga Puja with the pious sounds invoking
the rhythms of North and South with nine days of Garba attended by over 3,500 devotees; new Darbar for Ayyappa
ji constructed by a devotee; over half dozen devotees making fresh flower garlands every week all tell a story of our
growth and our commitment of respect for all. Family sponsored Sunday Pujas followed by Langar Prasad for all
bringing the community together as a family. Over 6,000 meals were prepared and served with devotion and love by
over 60 volunteers organized in six groups: Ganaga, Yamuna, Kaveri, Saraswati, Godavari and Satluj share a story of
the joy of service and camaraderie that very few can tell.
CULTURAL PROGRAMS
Hundreds of families came to celebrate Holi and Diwali programs. The bright colors of Holi made the children
look like flowers , and for the first time in our history fire works lit up the sky at the Diwali Mela. Karva Chauth
festivities were attended by over 600 ladies throughout the afternoon and evening.
NEW CONSTRUCTION
Construction of five additional class rooms was completed to accommodate the increase in our student body from
100 to 275. There are now a total of 15 instructional programs run weekly by 20 dedicated teachers. Construction
within 3,600 sq. feet of unfinished space is now complete with a performance stage for multipurpose use dedicated
to THE INDIA HERITAGE CENTER. Five TV screens have been installed in the main entrance of the Temple.
These monitors recognize the cumulative donations of each and every donor since our inception in 1996, announce
upcoming religious, cultural and social events, and recognize our active volunteers. In 2015, to ease access in bad
weather, we need to raise dedicated funds to cover the front entrance and elevator access path with canopies.
MANAGEMENT
An inclusive democratic management structure was implemented. All committees were restructured with the
goal of encouraging new leadership through broad based participation. Strict protocols of financial controls and
transparency were engaged under the supervision of three CPA’s on the Finance and Audit Committee.
DONATIONS, LOANS & MORTGAGE
Compared with total donations of $537,058 in 2013, donations in 2014 increased to $731,832. Our monthly
expenses, not including any capital spending ($33,465 in 2014), are approximately $50,000 including mortgage
payment. A total of 961 individuals donated by check and several hundred others gave cash deposited in the Temple
donation boxes. We paid down $138,490 of our Bank loan and the current balance is 3.8 million. In addition,
interest free loans from members given seven years ago were reduced by $47,000. Hindu Samaj owes these members
$609,000. In the collective Hindu Samaj spirit of cooperation, we urge each one of you to donate and/or provide
interest free loans to discharge our debt to share this responsibility.
WE THANK YOU FOR THE CONTINUED FAITH AND TRUST YOU HAVE BESTOWED IN OUR
TEMPLE AND WE SALUTE YOU FOR BEING A CRITICAL PART OF THE HINDU SAMAJ NARRATIVE

HINDU SAMAJ TEMPLE & INDIA HERITAGE CENTER • 2015 ANNUAL BALL
INDIA HERITAGE CENTER:
MUSEUM OF INDIAN JOURNEY TO THE UNITED STATES
About 20 years ago, when we conceived the idea of a home for our community, we
aspired of building a multifaceted institution for generations to come. We dreamed
of four pillars rising on this beautiful land, each symbolic of the depth of our roots;
spirituality of our souls; humility of our collective strength; and aspirations of
our community. The Temple, Community Center, Ganga Sagar and the Museum
of Indian Journey were to be the four physical manifestations of that dream. The
construction of our Temple of Unity, Community Center and, restoration of Ganga
Sagar on the banks of which one could meditate, was accomplished 7 years ago.
And, 3,600 square feet multipurpose space -- the first home for the Museum/ India
Heritage Center was completed last week.
It is dedicated to preserving and telling OUR STORY of arrival and assimilation.
It will narrate the stories of our struggles with preserving our cultural identity.
It will recall how we overcame the hurdles that lay in our path as newly arrived
immigrants. It will celebrate our accomplishments and create a setting for us to
reflect on our duty to our community and beyond.
Every family will be invited to share their stories on video; through artifacts; pages
of their journals and other appropriate means. The Museum of Indian Journey
will showcase and preserve those stories for future generations so that they can
remember our beginnings in this new land and reminisce about their heritage.
Blending colors of the flags of India and the United States, our logo represents a
tall and strong tree. It celebrates our roots and the fusion of two great societies.
A team of volunteers are in the process of planning the launch of the Museum of
Indian Journey to United States. Please support this first of its kind community
effort in the entire country.
