Devotional Committee

The Devotional Committee helps organize and celebrate all the major festivals of India. It even keeps our Mandir open regularly for open prayers on Tuesdays and Saturdays. Hanuman Chalisa and Aarti are sung on those days
starting at 7:30 pm. The Devotional Committee also helps out with other related events held at Mandir including Sai Bhajan, Suprabhatam and Kirtan.

Quote of the month

At the end of life,

What really matters is not what we bought but what we built; not what we got but what we shared; not our competence but our character; and not our success, but our significance.

Live a life that matters.

Live a life of Love
