fund raising event/dinner. Please let me know if you know of any other, so we

can include them in our campaign.

AN OPEN APPEAL TO THE

Board of Trustees of HinduSamaj Temple:

 

Namaste',

Once again, I come to you, the respected Board of Trustees of Hindu Samaj

Temple, with a repeated but a humble request as in the past several years, to

consider to stay away/refrain from serving and/or consuming Meat and Alcohol

(Mamsam and Madhyam - M & Ms) at the upcoming (and in future) Fund Raising Dinners

(and/or other such Events) for the Hindu Samaj Temple and Cultural Center.

Kindly consider the following, again:

 

1) This Practice & Policy of serving 'Mamsa and Madhya' (Meat and Alcohol) is

against our Vedic/Hindu Religion to conduct in the name and/or under the

umbrella/Banner of our sacred Temple's name.

 

Individually we my have our own Social beliefs, different customs and practices

which should be understood by others, no doubt even if they are not accepted by

all. But collectively as Vedics/Hindus-Aryas-Jains, we follow certain common

minimum standards of following with respect age old beliefs, traditions and

practices if not scriptures/sashtras, which include abstaining from 'Mamasa &

Madhya' at or in the name of our Religious Temple/Organization, irrespective of

the Location .

 

2) As I am sure you agree that 100% of the Hindu Samaj's membership and it's

supporters who attend this Fundraiser will consume various available soft drinks

and vegetables without hesitation. But, serving alcohol and meat will

undoubtedly leave out many other HinduSamaj members and supporters, if not

entire communities like Jains as they are staunch believers in " Aahimsa " etc.

So, the point is, unless you, The Board of TRUSTEES of HinduSamaj want to DEVIDE

the COMMUNITY intentionally, you would consider and take immediate action to

rectify the hitherto followed ill practice and change the course of misguided

direction. There is no other \u003cb\>Temple\u003c/b\>\u003cb\> in our area

follows this practice.\u003cbr\> \u003c/b\>\u003cbr\> 3) We placed TRUST in you

as our Trustees and expect you to seek guidance from the Learned Gurus, Priests

and/or Religious Leaders, if necessary and lead us in to the right path without

giving up for the pressure from a few in the

community. However, it should also be recognized that this is not one of the

items open for Democratic process as this is strictly a Religious

practice.\n\u003cbr\> \u003cbr\> \u003cbr\> \u003c/div\> \u003cdiv\>4) You

say, if we do not serve 'Mamsa & Madhya', people will not attend, I say ,

\u003cb\>it is insulting not only to the HinduSamaj community but also it's

outside supporters\u003c/b\> as we all know well, Americans will only respect

our Tradition when explained and even they don't mind foregoing meat and alcohol

for one night. Also, this argument supports the fact, that HinduSamaj is

selling 'Mamsa & Madhya' to raise funds for the Temple's projects etc.\n and/or

to expand Temple's Cultural Center (Bharateya/Vedic Samskruthika

Mandapa).\u003cbr\> \u003cbr\> 5) Oh yes, you also say, that we are also a

Cultural Center, but please \u003cb\>remember foremost we are a Religious

Organization \n\u003c/b\>and hence \u003cb\>HINDU SAMAJ is a Temple at first and

Cultural center etc. next\u003c/b\>. And especially as our Cultural Center is

built as part and parcel of the Temple as it shares the same roof and other

facilities, it is an un-divisible and un-questionably a Vedic/Hindu-Cultural

Center, as it stands now.\n\u003cbr\> \u003cbr\> 6) Yes, some of the members

hesitantly attended these Fund-Raisers as they are also Recognition Events for

the respected community leaders like Dr.Sheth, Dr.Khurana, Sri Mandava, Sri

Shah etc. etc. families, just to show respects to them, but in no way in

acceptance of this particular policy and practice of HinduSamaj to serve meat

and alcohol in these events. What is next?, serving meat and alcohol at a

Deepavali function? as it is also outside!\n\u003cbr\>\n \u003cbr\> 7) I also

heard some of you and your friends making statements like, SriRama eat meat etc

etc.. I don't know the truth, nor should we care. I do not question the God's

and Godly People (Avatara Purushas) of their acts and/or

intentions which are meant for 'Loka Kalyanam'. At least you and me are not at

that stage in any respect. If you believe otherwise, you should be in a Mandir

as a God but not in the Board room as a Trustee.\n " ,1] ); //-->Temple in our

area follows this practice.

 

3) We placed TRUST in you as our Trustees and expect you to seek guidance from

the Learned Gurus, Priests and/or Religious Leaders, if necessary and lead us

in to the right path without giving up for the pressure from a few in the

community. However, it should also be recognized that this is not one of the

items open for Democratic process as this is strictly a Religious practice.

 

 

 

4) You say, if we do not serve 'Mamsa & Madhya', people will not attend, I

say , it is insulting not only to the HinduSamaj community but also it's outside

supporters as we all know well, Americans will only respect our Tradition when

explained and even they don't mind foregoing meat and alcohol for one night.

Also, this argument supports the fact, that HinduSamaj is selling 'Mamsa &

Madhya' to raise funds for the Temple's projects etc. and/or to expand Temple's

Cultural Center (Bharateya/Vedic Samskruthika Mandapa).

 

5) Oh yes, you also say, that we are also a Cultural Center, but please

remember foremost we are a Religious Organization and hence HINDU SAMAJ is a

Temple at first and Cultural center etc. next. And especially as our Cultural

Center is built as part and parcel of the Temple as it shares the same roof and

other facilities, it is an un-divisible and un-questionably a

Vedic/Hindu-Cultural Center, as it stands now.

 

6) Yes, some of the members hesitantly attended these Fund-Raisers as they are

also Recognition Events for the respected community leaders like Dr.Sheth,

Dr.Khurana, Sri Mandava, Sri Shah etc. etc. families, just to show respects to

them, but in no way in acceptance of this particular policy and practice of

HinduSamaj to serve meat and alcohol in these events. What is next?, serving

meat and alcohol at a Deepavali function? as it is also outside!

 

7) I also heard some of you and your friends making statements like, SriRama

eat meat etc etc.. I don't know the truth, nor should we care. I do not

question the God's and Godly People (Avatara Purushas) of their acts and/or

intentions which are meant for 'Loka Kalyanam'. At least you and me are not at

that stage in any respect. If you believe otherwise, you should be in a Mandir

as a God but not in the Board room as a Trustee. \u003cbr\> 8) Just because

this HST practice has been going on for long, will not make it right, but

remember at the same time there were members objecting for this as long also.

Things can and will change for good and let's change it NOW. This is in no way

to change any individual of their own beliefs and practices (though one wishes

the change is that easy!), but to accept, respect and follow our ancient

tradition and practice, no more but definitely no less. Just check and let us

know, how many of the thirteen or so Trustees\n attending these

Fund-Raisers every year for the last ten years?. I believe many are not

attending in helpless and silent protest due to the fear of unknown from the

very well known! \u003cb\>Remember, THERE IS NO RIGHTWAY OF DOING A WRONG

THING!!!\n\u003c/b\>\u003cbr\> \u003cbr\> 9) How much money is raised through

these so called Fund-Raisers is a different matter. I requested the Trustee, a

year or two ago for the information on these events for the last ten years and

still waiting for a response. I request the new Board Members to look in to this

also. However, \n\u003cb\>lately, some Donors are waiting to give the money at

this event, though, they would give the same donation as committed donors

anyway\u003c/b\> and any out side donations comes around that time is included

in these totals to make it look good. Talk about creative accounting by HST. In

this respect, I request the Board and especially the Treasurer, to keep clean

records and accounting by not commingling of funds.

\n\u003cbr\> \u003cbr\> 10)\n Last but not least, WE DONOT NEED A GOPURAM BUILT

or even another brick laid within our HSTemple's property WITH THE FUNDS RAISED

FROM THE SALE OF 'MAMSA & MADHYA', period. We are neither that poor nor

disparate.\n\u003cbr\> \u003cbr\> Once again, pleas LEAD us the RIGHT PATH to

the PEACE and UNITY, not DIVIDING COMMUNITY, just for your political goals.

Choice is yours, you are at the Drivers seat and we all hope you drive soberly

and help us reach the destination safely!!! Need I say more?.\n\u003cbr\>

out) either way, so I/we can understand your viewpoint on this. " ,1] ); //-->
