*नमस्ते Namaste*, everyone.
Wishing you all a blessed Budhwaar.

Tomorrow, we will be celebrating our *Nav Varsh* _New Year_ in Yajya at Mandir from 7:30 pm and will be commencing the *Chaitra Navajeevan Saadhanaa*, a *Nav-Tithi* _Nine Lunar Days_ Spiritual practice.

Since this year will be the very first time many of our children will be celebrating our Hindu New Year, *we'd love for our children to sit for Hawan and make aahutees* to celebrate this very auspicious time in our Panchaanga.

Pandit Ramlall
Death ends only a physical presence on earth.
It does not end love.
It does not end memories.
It does not end the impact that those whom we dearly love had
and will continue to have on our lives.
It does not end anything other than a person's physical journey alongside of us.
And while it is incredibly painful to be left behind by those we love,
We also have it within our power to carry on all of the legacies
that have been entrusted to our loving care.

Think about the legacies that have been left to you by your beloved.
Use the power of those legacies.
Choose to both live and proudly carry forward those legacies.
Every…
Single …
Day.
An aged Guyanese icon – who assisted in the struggle for independence and was jailed for nearly three years at Sibley Hall died in New York on Saturday. Pandit Ramlall was considered a legend in Guyana as well as in New York and received numerous commendations and International Service Awards including a Pandit Ramlall Day declared by the President of Queens Borough, New York in 2003. He was 90.
In Guyana he served as a Member of Parliament and worked tirelessly to assist the working class. He came from humble beginnings. In fact he was an orphan at age 6 when he lost both parents. He taught himself and later became a sugar chemist and civil service union representative.
He migrated to the United States in 1974 where he inspired hundreds with his religious teachings. He had a burning desire to further his studies and enrolled at a College as a mature student where he obtained his Bachelor’s degree in psychology and Diploma in Education. In 1975 he was presented with the prestigious literary award at the first Vishwa Hindi Sammelan (World Hindi Conference) in Nagpur, India in the presence of the then Prime Minister Indira Gandhi and Sir Seewoosagur Ramgoolam, then Prime Minister of Mauritius. He was the recipient of numerous awards from Canada, India and USA.
Pandit Ramlall’s teaching and preaching took him frequently to Holland, South Africa, Mauritius, India, Canada, Suriname, and other parts of the world. The President of the Arya Prathinidi Sabha of American (APSA),Bhuvnesh Koshla, described him as an icon who served the community well. He was a freedom fighter, scholar, community leader, interfaith spiritual advisor, and above all he was very humble.
