2024 was a turbulent year for operations of Hindu mandir, the dispute for the Samiti Presidency amongst old veterans resulted in freezing the mandir's bank account. As a devotee we witnessed more politics instead of prayers. Some 'elected' warriors gave-up while some 'selected' warriors woke-up from the roar of the battle field. Through this time, we learned some lessons and gained some experience. Constant support and trust of fellow devotees keeps us motivated to try and do more.
When going gets tough, the tough gets going. The mandir is recovering fast and we are quite optimistic about 2025.
