It is a shame that we are using the funds raised by the community with such hard work and love to satisfy some power crazy immature people! They were fighting as if it is presidency of India! The people working earlier were raising funds and moving the temple work ahead! This position or management and leadership requires dedication, integrity and these people had those qualities! I strongly suggest that issues should be resolved personally because there was personal vendetta ! We all as a community should not let this happen! Stop this drainage of funds!
It was sad to see how much laspe there was this year compared to last year. What happened? Diwali pujan it self was great but why there was less people this year? What are the management doing about all this. How shameful it was not to have food provided. Being a devotee, I’m so disappointed with this and how it was handled.
