May the power of Gāyatri Mantra give continuing strength and wisdom to the Governor office for the service of its citizens.
Jap (one or more mala) can be done during 10:30AM to 11:30AM on October 29th either by an individual or a couple or a group of people by sitting near Shiva Parivar. It takes apx.10 minutes to complete one mala of 108 beads. The only thing you need to bring is a jap mala (beads) and an āsan (mat). Please join the Japa Yagna and enjoy the divinity (prasād of Gāyatri/Shakti). For more details please contact: Parminder Sharma or Sanjay Mehta.
Om bhurbhuvah swah tatsaviturvarenyam bhargo devasya dhimahi dhiyo yo nah prachodayat.
We meditate on Brahman (Bhagwan), who is the giver of life, destroyer of sufferings, embodiment of happiness, who is bright, luminous like the Sun, who is glorious and the destroyer of negative tendencies. May Bhagwan guide our intellect (Buddhi) in the right direction.

VHPA Balvihar Atlanta Food Drive - Anna Daan
2024-10-04 10:00 - 12:00 (America/New_York) | Atlanta Food Bank 3400 N Desert Dr,, Atlanta Food Bank 3400 N Desert Dr, , East Point, GA, 30344, United States
VHPA Atlanta Balvihar organized a food drive to uphold the Hindu tradition of अन्न-दान or food donation during the Pitru Paksha or Shraddh Paksha. Hindus observe Pitru Paksha to honor our ancestors, pay homage to them, and pray for shanti for the departed souls. A donation of 5 cans of non-perishable, vegetarian food items (about $10) per student/family was suggested.
Pitru Paksh/Shraddh Paksh started on 18 September this year and ends on 2 October. Food donations were collected on 29 September during Balvihar. At the start of Hindu Heritage Month, Balvihar, on behalf of the VHPA Atlanta chapter, will donate all the collection to a reputable food bank, with a note that this is a Hindu tradition.
We believe this will be a positive contribution of the Hindu-American community to American society. It is also a great way to uphold our Hindu traditions, inculcate Hindu sanskar in our children and most importantly, a good opportunity to talk to children about family members, traditions and the Hindu Heritage Month celebration.
