Right from its very inception, our Society has con sistently promoted a variety of religious, intellectual, cultural, social, and charitable activities and programs. In my capacity as a former President, former Member of the Board of Directors, and a former Administrative Advisor, I have indeed been fortunate and blessed to have been able to contribute to such activities. Since the establishment of the Hindu Society, we have witnessed an enhanced spirit of worship, dedication, and devotion amongst our community members and in their efforts towards betterm ent of the humanity. We pray that the Almighty continues to provide inspiration to all of us to be respectful to all religions, and that we may contribute to the peace, joy, and harmony all over the world.

I and my wife Shanthi with our children Ravi and Jayanth used to live in Raleigh/Cary from 1975 and 1991. We have been actively participated in the society activities during this period. The society grew and served the community very well under the leadership of Dr. and Mrs. Sharma (two pillars of the community). We were quite happy to be a part of the growth of the community and the Hindu Society during our stay in Raleigh/Cary. Our contribution is very negligible and we owe a lot to our friends in the Triangle for their help and support. We love the Triangle community and we have decided to come back and start our retirement life in Raleigh/Cary. This will likely happen within the next several years. We look forward to come and do our share of service to this great diversified and unified community. Let us pray the Lord to provide His Grace to all of us and help us to lead a life of sacrifice and service with peace and happiness. We want to take this opportunity to congratulate the Board members and all the behind the scene heroes like you for the success of HSNC. With love and our best regards,

DR. Sudha Om Dhingra - We moved into the RTP area 15 years ago from Saint Louis. Mrs Saroj Sharma was the first person we met when we visited the Temple in Morrisville. Over the years I have been involved in organizing many cultural and literary activities for the Hindu Society of North Carolina. I also served as the chairperson of the cultural committee one time and my husband, Dr. Om Dhingra, served as the Advisor to Hindu Society Board of Directors. My son has grown up watching us active in the Hindu Society activities and became ar egular worshiper through his teen years. He has volunteered for many Temple activities over the years and can speak Hindi well. The Temple has played a key role in instilling religious values in our Youth. We are very proud of the Hindu Society of North Carolina's achievements over last 30 years and wish it continued success in keeping the Indian Community together in the Triangle area.
