As a Chairman, I have enjoyed being actively involved in the Temple’s work for the last 30 months. I did my best to make the Temple as best as possible place for our love and devotions. I was not perfect, but I did my job as best as possible without involving my ego and only keeping the well-being of devotees and the community in mind. If I made any mistakes, I ask for your forgiveness.
Thank you for your continued support of the Hindu Jain Temple of Las Vegas.
Jagdish Mehta, Former Chairman – Hindu and Jain Temple of Las Vegas
ENTIRE COMMITTEE IS excellent , looks DEDICATED FOR THE “SANATAN TEMPLE WITH SANATAN PRINCIPLE”. THANK YOU. GLAD – JUNG(WAR/JUNGA) IS OVER –HAHA !!!BECAUSE OF COVID- MOST PEOPLE DIVERTED TO HARE KRISHNA TEMPLE AND GURUDWARAS . THE ONLY REASON IS LUNCH /DINNER/PRASAD IS PROVIDED WITH DISCOURSES. THERE ARE ENOUGH VOLUNTEERS TO DONATE 52 WEEKS SUNDAY PRASAD/LUNCH. Time to think about annual membership $100 /year to supplement income and increase volunteer-ship. HOPE SERVICE TO THE TEMPLE/DHARMA IS USED FOR DISSOLVING EGO. PL TAKE ADVISE FROM PRIEST AS FAR AS PRINCIPAL OS SANATAN IS CONCERNED.
Let us hope the new management is dedicated to the temple, devotees, and community, not a slave to ego and personal prestige. The priority should be a drive to make every family become a member for $100/year. Then give them reasons to come to the temple; make them feel welcome, treat everyone equally, do not charge excessive fees for rituals, and have at least an election every two years in which all the members are eligible to run and vote for the executive and advisory committees. Please make the Hindu and Jain Temple an institution of which our community is proud.
Very strange
– Former Co-chairman and Temple trustee Mr Latpate is still sending messages as Current CHAIRMAN . I came to know that he had resigned also.Is it true ?
Former Temple President is not giving any Passwords to Current Committee So that they can not communicate with the community .
Is temple somebody’s personal property?
Why inviting Legal trouble to the temple of God.
Community want to know the names of trouble makers and expose them.
SUPER Excited of the NEW EXECTIVE COMMITTEE,CHAIRMAN Joining the HINDU TEMPLE of LV. Looking Forward working and Supporting the Entire Group to Be Sucessful. I agree with What Peter Said FOR “THE JUNG(WAR/JUNGA)” IS OVER. Everyone Should Put There EGO and Personal Issue on the SIDE and DO THE SERVICE WORK. DUE TO THE PAST MANAGEMENT LOT of the People got DIVERTED which What I have NOTICED. Mr Latpate had Resigned himself out and still wants to add his 2cents to the NEW GROUP.if He volunteered himself to Resign why is He still Interested.Please Handout to the NEW TEAM and MOVE ON so The NEW TEAM CAN DO A BETTER JOB than you ALL. The Temple is for all the DEVOTEES and its NOT SOMEBODYs Personal Property. When the Prior Members wants to Take Legal ACTION to SOMEONE why DO YOU ALL USE TEMPLES FUNDS.PLEASE Drain Your own Pocket to solve the Issue.
