We are in need of donations of Bhagavad Gitas for placement in Boise hotel and motel Rooms
SuRadhika Mataji is also coordinating their placement. So far she has commitment for placement of Gitas in 150 rooms. Now we need sponsors for them. You can sponsor 1 case of GItas for a special price of $108. 

Please call the temple with your sponsorship. Shastra Daan is the greatest charity.


April & May Event Recaps!
 


May 9, 2010 we celebrated Mothers day. Surabhi Kashikar recited in perfect melody 10 Slokas from Chapter 15 of the Bhagavad Gita.
 


Anantarupa Prabhu announced on April 25th that the Temple Mortgage had been paid off and pledged to set up a perpetual temple maintenance fund for the future. The goal is to set up a $250,000 fund over the next 15 to 20 years in a interest bearing trust fund, so that the temple can run efficiently for future generations. He requested all congregation members to contribute to the fund and promised to match their donations up to $10,000 per year  That is if the congregation members contributed $8000 in 2010, he would match $8000 from his savings for the fund for the year.



On
 April 25th we had a wonderful celebration of Holi here in Boise! The pictures are worth a thousand words. To see all the fun please visit our online web album here!
