Hari Om. 

I would like to start my message with this 

beauful Mantra which all of  you already know: 

Sarve bhavantu sukhinah. 

May  everybody  be happy. 

Sarve santu niraamayaah. 

May  everybody  be  free  from disease. 

Sarve bhadranni   pashyantu. May  everybody  have good  luck. 

Maa kaschcid  duhkhabhaag bhavet. 

May  none  fal l  on evil  days. 

I have been honored again with the posion of  Temple Chair-

man. I want to thank you all for entrusng me with this posi-

on because it carries a lot of  responsibility towards temple, 

its members and devotees. 

We have started year 2014 with a posive note and are com-

mied  to keeping  this  sense of  posiveness  for  the  coming 

years. We  have  begun  this  year by  looking  at  our  temple’s revenue and have been planning our acons accordingly. This 

has led to the division of  many commiees and a generalized 

task  list  for all. We opened our arms  to devotees willing  to 

donate/help  and  have  thus  developed  very  close  es with 

many temple-goers. 

All  temple  events  are  being  celebrated  in  grand  style, with 

great  aendance  and  joyous mood. Members/devotees  are 

happy and a sense of  divinity is being felt all over our temple. 

My  favorite  saying  “Tere Pujan Ko Bhagan Bangaya Mandir  

 Alishan”  is  echoing everywhere. 

A  lot  is happening at our temple  for the benefit of  the tem-ple,  its members/devotees,  senior  cizens and youth. Every 

day, we are  thinking of  ways  to make The Hindu  Temple of  

Canton second to none in service and humbleness. 

Some of  the highlights are as follows: 

Yearly Cost Savings of  over $ 40,000 will be  realized  in 

2014  in health  insurance  costs,  legal  fees  and  calendar 

prinng costs by changing vendors 

Other cost savings eff orts are also under way 

A new prayer book is in the works with a great selecon 

and the addion of  new Bhajans 

Re-start of  Bhajan Sandya 

Start of  Sai Sandhya every Thursday 

Library opened with  internet ready computers and with 

a fresh look. Extended hours of  opening being planned 

Balvihar being aended in great numbers 

Health Fair conducted successfully in April 

Esmated launch of  POS system on July 1, 2014 

Kick  Off of   Youth  Aff airs  Commiee  with  tremendous 

enthusiasm 

Increased member parcipaon in community events 

First phase of  Temple re-painng completed 

Extensive  eff orts  are  underway  for  a  Grand  Diwali/Fundraising Dinner on November 15, 2014. We have much to 

achieve to make our temple debt free. 

All members/devotees, please request a one on one meeng 

with any of  temple the officers and/or Board of  Trustees for 

any  good  ideas  that  you may  have  that  you would  like  to 

share. 

I would like to thank current and past Board Members, Tem-

ple Management  and  Volunteers  for  their  team  eff ort  and 

acve parcipaon in temple aff airs 

We are all here to serve in our HOUSE  OF  GOD. 

For any comments and suggesons for the beerment of  our 

temple, its members/devotees, anyone can contact me at his 

or her convenience via my cell phone 734-260-4483 or email:

Dear Temple Board Members, Members, Priestsand Devotees,Hari Om ,Namaste and Good Morning:

I want to thank the Board of Directors of The Hindu Temple ofCanton and all of you for giving me another opportunity toserve you as the temple chairman for the year 2013. It is aposition which carries a lot of responsibilities in particular whenour past chairmen have worked so hard and have done anexcellent job to make sure that the temple gets nothing but thebest in all areas. I have been very lucky to work with not onlythe past chairpersons and presidents but also with the current

team of Board of Directors. All these people have great ex-perience in their field. I also want to mention the devoted teamof volunteers and other staff members including priests fortheir whole hearted support. We all will continue to work to-gether as a team for the betterment of the community. This inturn will help our temple not only be a place of worship butwill also be a part of the community to achieve their socialgoals.

At this time, I would like thank the retiring board and commit-tee members and would like to welcome the new board mem-bers as a part of our team. The retiring board members are:Mr. Jatin Desai, Mrs. Bela Patel, Mr. Urmil Salvi and Mr. Dax-esh Modi. The incoming board members for next 3 years are

Mr. Avinash Rachmale, Mr. Manoj Sachdeva, Mr. Anurag Bajajand Mr. Ashwani Narula. All of these people not only have agreat devotion and commitment for the temple but they are thepeople who face challenges on a daily basis and find solutionswith the limited resources we have.

In order to stay in touch with the outgoing board members andother associated members of the temple, an attempt was madein the previous year to create a non-voting Advisory Board sothat the current board members can get advice and directionswhen needed. I believe it was a great idea not only to retainour respected members but also to stay in touch with them on aregular basis. Going further, I would like to make a request tothe board of directors and temple members to consider creat-

ing some limited positions as continuing board members (non-retiring) so that their experience, expertise and knowledge canbe retained by the temple for the betterment of the temple. Aswe all know from our own experiences in daily routine whetherit is education, business, social work or anything else, experi-ence is very important.

The year 2013 was a very challenging year. We had thehighest number of festivities in the temple and they all werevery well attended. I know that because of all these, we werenot able to arrange our Annual Dinner this year. However, fornext year, we already have scheduled November 15 in our

Calendar for 2014 Annual Dinner. I want to thank our Reli-gious Chair Mr. Dhaval Vaishnav along with his team includingvolunteers, priests, etc., who made sure that every event wasplanned properly from decorating the lobby to the place ofworship, food and the parking . This year we have to bringnew ideas and plans which can continue on an ongoing basisyear after year to generate revenues. A good stream of rev-enues is one of the most important and wanted need for anyorganization of our nature. We have a place of worship anda beautiful banquet hall, along with classrooms, to meet theneeds of the community. To maintain this beautiful building weneed to pay all the bills to keep it healthy. We all go and buy

Health Insurance for our health and try to plan for our Retire-ment. For this beautiful Temple, we all have to plan for theongoing maintenance and the retirement, so that there is nodebt. I am requesting all of you to please get involved in therevenue process at any level. You all can help the temple inone of the following ways:

Sign up for automatic monthly debits from your bank orcredit card account to pay off the mortgage.

Loan money to the temple at interest free certificates ofdeposits so that those can be used to pay the debt of theTemple.

Make one time donations to be a Life Member and quali-fy for all the benefits of being a Life Member.

Most important is , to commit to pay for any recurringexpense of the temple, which include utilities (electricity,gas, water), Sunday Prasad, Maintenance, Flower Deco-rations ,etc. for a particular deity

Sponsor any of the regular activities. A complete list ofevents for 2013 is available on the websitewww.thehindutemple.org and the list for 2014 will beposted soon.

Here, I would like to bring to your attention that we were ableto pay off $595,000 in principal pay down in 2013. Currenttemple mortgage loan balance is $ 3,995,000. As you all cansee from the actuals and budgets/projections presented, weplan to pay off more of the debt sooner than it is due. This willnot only make us feel better, but will also save us lot of moneybeing paid towards interest expense.

In the past, the Board of Directors created a Board Designat-ed Fund of $500,000 to take care of Operations in case ofemergency situations. We have always maintained that. We,as the Board of Directors, have discussed various options ofinvesting this money to earn interest. But the interest income isso low that it is not worth to invest in banks. If the same moneyis invested in other securities there are risks involved includingloosing principal amount. After a detailed study, the board ofdirectors have concluded that we should bring this Board

Approval to reduce temple emergency funds from$500,000 to $250,000.Anil ji gave the following information about the templeemergency funds.

Temple has been maintaining $500,000 cash at hand foremergencies

Temple has not touched those funds for last 3 to 4 years

Last AGM multiple questions were raised regarding whywe are keeping$500,000 in cash and not reducing ourdebt by making additional payment

If we pay $250,000 extra payment from our emergencycash funds then we can save $10,000 per year In interestpayment

Board of trustees discussed this in their board meeting andapproved payment for additional $250,000 .

Motion is on the table for temple members to reduce cashreserve from $500,000 to $250,000 and pay $250,000towards additional principle

Motion was put on the floor by Anil ji and members voted

by show of their hands. More people raised their handsagainst this motion than for this motion. So motion did notcarry.
