Holiday Greetings from Vijayantee (Janty) Ramkumar, President of TLS (The Laxmi Sabha) and Executive VP of Voice of Vedas
Another year has come and gone; and as we say goodbye to 2023, I just want to say thank you to The Laxmi Sabha (TLS) team and the whole Voice Of Vedas (VOV) organization for a very successful year of delivering services and events to our devotees and the community. The team spirit is wonderful and feels like a family. It’s an amazing feeling to see how we pushed through in 2023, continuously demonstrating resilience, persistence, consistency, and patience in our daily sewa with VOV.
Through the holidays, I hope everyone enjoys some downtime and truly celebrates with your family and friends. It’s a time for love, peace, joy and a time for giving. Let’s remember to take this big heart of giving – that love, peace, and joy into the New Year and continue to make VOV a warm welcoming place and hub, that only gets better and better each year.
To you and your family – Happy Holidays and a Bright and Prosperous 2024 from TLS and the VOV Team.
Vijayantee Ramkumar (Janty)
Holiday Greetings from Robin Doobay, Spiritual Advisor at Voice of Vedas
As we bid farewell to the year 2023 and welcome 2024 (2080 according to the Vikram Samvat calendar), we wish you all a very happy and prosperous New Year. May this new year bring you peace, joy, and success in all your endeavors. May you always be blessed by the divine grace of the Almighty and the guidance of the scriptures.
On this auspicious occasion, let us celebrate our rich cultural heritage and the values that bind us together as a community. Let us also remember our duty to serve humanity and protect the environment. Let us pledge to uphold the principles of truth, righteousness, and harmony in our lives.
In 2023 significant renovations were completed: The founders corner designed by Col Nudds was installed, the entire roof was renovated (there are some problems with this installation but the installer is actively working to make them right), Lord Shiva was installed in the compound (final completion of base and landscape work will be done in the spring), and a Shikhara was placed over Bala Ji.
Major improvements were made to our internet, our computer network was improved, and an upgrade to the HVAC system has started.
Seniors Home:- Common area carpets and stairway carpets were replaced and work is being started on bathtub modifications for easy access for seniors that require this work.
I hope that this new year will be a time of renewal, growth, and transformation for all of us. I pray that we will overcome the challenges and difficulties that we may face with courage and faith. I also hope that we will continue to support each other and work together for the common good of our organization and society.
Once again, we wish you all a very happy New Year. May the Lord shower his blessings upon you and your families.
Sincerely,
Robin Doobay
Seasons Greetings from Pandit Bhoj Sharma, Chief Priest of Voice of the Vedas
Namaste Dear Devotees and Season’s Greetings,
On behalf of the Vishnu Mandir, I would like to thank you for your ongoing support and service as a member of the VOV community.
As we reflect on this past year and prepare for the new year ahead, we have so much to be thankful for, and yet, there’s no shortage of people in need, within our local communities and around the world. A simple act of kindness can go a long way and I encourage you to offer a helping hand when, where and how you can. Through this seva (selfless service), we can show gratitude for life’s blessings while also helping those in need and collectively making a positive difference in the world.
From my family to yours, we wish you Bhagwan’s blessings for a happy, healthy and blessed new year.
Thank you,
Pandit Bhoj Sharma
