Dear friends,
We had two important events in Nov. 2003.
The first one was the arrival of the Kalash in Los
Angeles. The Kalash (urn) arrived here on Nov. 02,
2003 in the morning, on its Yatra that started in
Atlanta, GA. A small gathering of our community took
the Kalash to Malibu temple where we had a pooja and
Shanti Path performed. The Kalash that memeoralizes
the victims of terrorism in India will finally travel
to Mumbai, India for its final immersion there.
Thank you for taking part in this solmn ceremony at a
very short notice.- Anjali.
The second ......
The KP biradari of Southern California had a Diwali
get together on Nov. 08, 2003 at the Colina Glen UCLA
Faculty recreation center. The evening started with
Aarti. Recantation of prayers and blessings by Dave
Munjal gave this evening an auspicious beginning. The
pooja was followed by a delicious dinner. The
post-dinner gala was the highlight of the evening. We
had a DJ, throbbing dance music and a joyous crowd on
the dancing floor ? from original moves to
professional swirls, even Dandia dance to the beat.
Once again, a festive and happy get together continued
until midnight.
I would like to thank the members of our community for
their wholehearted participation and for making the
event so enjoyable and memorable. Purnima and Sandeep
Sethi coordinated the event; I want to thank them for
their help and dedicated efforts.
Have a great Thanksgiving with your loved ones.
With regards,
Anjali |
