Dear Members and Friends: Last few months have been really exciting at the temple. We have had a steady line up of programs that were very educational and entertaining. The Ram Katha program by Goswami Chandra Bhusan Maharaj was welcomed by all the patrons. It was nice to see big crowds of members on week nights. After that Dr. Neerajs program on Rejuvenation of Human Body through Yoga was very successful. We would like to bring more such programs in future so we can direct our community towards a healthier and spiritual future. Our upcoming programs include the Maha Mritunjay Yagna Anushthan, Janamashthmi, Saraswati group pooja and of course big Diwali celebration in October. Please reserve Friday Oct 21st, for Hindu Societys Annual Dinner at Mirage Banquet Hall. More details will be posted on our website www.hindusociety.ab.ca and will be posted at the Mandir. Please visit the website regularly to get up to date information on the Hindu Societys upcoming events. I sincerely request you all to please visit the temple regularly and make our programs, very special by your presence. I wish you all a very pleasant summer and hope to see you soon at the Mandir. If you have any suggestions regarding any of the programs etc. please feel free to email me at hindu.society@hotmail.com or stop at the donation desk and write your request in the suggestion book. Thanks for your valuable time for reviewing the enclosed program for September to December 2011. Sincerely,

Renu Narang President
