Durga Mandir New Jersey No Cash Offerings Appeal to Devotees 17,601 views as of 9-05-13
Respected Devotees, Namaskar, With all the due respect I am making an humble appeal“Not to make any Cash Offerings at Durga Mandir" in Princeton, New Jersey. Please do visit Durga Mandir for all your ceremonial needs as usual. Under no circumstances this Appeal should be construed as boycott of the Temple. This Appeal is also for Change of Trustees & Executive Committee Members of the Mandir for not providing any services for youth and Hinduism study. More over these Trustees & Executive members do not believe in honesty, transparency, accountability, democratic functioning and full financial disclosures.
DURGA MANDIR IS A $10 MILLION FULLY PAID FACILITY WITH OVER $4 MILLION CASH IN ITS BANK ACCOUNTS IS PROVIDING CEREMONIAL SERVICES LIKE AARTI & BHAJANS ONLY. Annual Revenue since 2008 is consistently over $1 mil. & Expenses from $335,282 in 2008 has gone up to $472,000 in 2011 for no valid reason.
As per IRS filings 21 Trustees; Dr. Prithvi Bhalla ($10K), Dr. Bikki Jaggi ($10K),Jitendra Bahoza ($10K), Sukhdev Bhalla ($10K), Ajay Gupta ($10K), Anil Kapoor($10K), Ashish Kapoor ($10K), Sat Pal Kapoor ($10K), Om Khurana ($10K), Vinod Madhok ($10K), Dinesh Nain ($10K), Jatinder Sabharwal ($10K), Dr. Rajesh Sachdeo($10K), Brij Sharma ($10K), Roshan Lal Verma ($10K), Shiv Thapar ($10K), Dev Sondhi ($10K), Ramesh Kapoor ($10K) Ramesh Nijhawan ($9K), Nirmal Chopra ($9K)Verender Soni ($200), OTHERS (no names) ($3496) have created a loan totaling $201,694.00 on Durga Mandir to create ownership on the Mandir. According to insiders they are scamming to pass on this Trusteeship to their children like Vick Verma s/o Trustee R. L. Verma, son of Trustee Bikki Jaggi married to a non Hindu with no vision for Hinduism. It is very strange Durga Mandir with over $4 million cash in its bank account why it will take a loan of $201,694?
Current Financials and dishonesty of the Durga Mandir Trustees explains the reasons and rationale behind the appeal for “no cash offerings to Durga Mandir” till the Trustees are left with 1 year of Reserves for the Expanses or start offering services to the youth and promote Hinduism. As such it is a public knowledge that Durga Mandir is not providing any services for youth or promotion of Hinduism or protection of Human Rights of Hindus in New Jersey.

Hindu Temples Destroying Hinduism in USA with Devotees Millions 19,696 views
More than $5 Billion dollars has been invested in more than 450 Temples run by highly educated Hindu Leaders with no vision for Hinduism and no respect for equal rights for Hindus in USA. Majority of them have failed to give Hindu values to their own children. Barring may be 2 dozen temples, these temples are used for 4-5 hours every Sunday and on special occasions for ceremonial Aarti and Bhajan Kirtan with Electronic instruments. There are no programs for youth or their involvement in the management of these temples. There are no classes on Hinduism or discussions on Hinduism or devotional music training or training for traditional music instruments or Sanskrit/other Hindu language classes or speech/essay competitions on Hinduism or games or any Scholarships for practicing Hindu youth or any help to less fortunate from the community. On the other hand Sikh Gurudwaras in USA have all these programs for the youth and some of them are even providing SAT classes for students to compete in their Senior High Schools as well as programs for Senior Citizens. Even the Christian Church, Jewish Temples and Muslim Mosque are running schools, day care centers, Soup Kitchens for poor and various religious study programs for the youth and providing financial help to less fortunate from their own communities in USA. Recently an American asked a question on Facebook, when Hindu Temples are not teaching Hinduism or doing any social work in their community or take a stand for equal rights for Hindus; then what they are doing inside their massive millions of dollars facilities and millions of dollars in their bank accounts?
HERE IS THE CASE STUDY OF $10 MILLION FULLY PAID DURGA MANDIR IN NEW JERSEY, USA PROVIDING CEREMONIAL SERVICES LIKE AARTI & BHAJANS ONLY.

INDIAN MEDIA (Except The Indian Panorama & The South Asian Insider) IN USA HAS ONCE AGAIN FAILED THE COMMUNITY BY NOT REPORTING ON THE BAD BEHAVIOR OF TRUSTEES OF DURGA MANDIR & OTHER PUBLIC ORGANIZATIONS
The Indian Media is not at all committed to the journalistic standards and has never exposed individuals plundering Public Organizations. They have a vested interest by not reporting this loot so that they can get advertisement revenue from such individuals, another classical example is FIA under gangster breaking every US law and insulting India in the name of India Day Parade. The pathetic behavior of Indian Media personals undermines everything they have been taught as reporters and broadcasters, and is not in line with what is right. The Media is promoting dishonesty and loot in Public Organizations by hurting the community.
Insult India, Steal from FIA, Break US Laws and Get Ellis Island Medal of Honor NEWS ARTICLES
