    Hindu Samaj Temple of Minnesota March-April 2015 President’s Note Namaste to All! Welcome to the Spring edition of Samarpan! How appropriate that we Celebrated Holi, our Spring Festival, to coincide with the arrival of Spring in Minnesota. It was a Grand success and transported me to the Melas in India. The sight of people dressed in colorful clothes and jewelry, the stalls selling jewelry and clothes, the smell of food in the air and the chatter of people mixed in with a background of Hindi Film songs, were all so reminiscent of home. For a few short hours we recreated a piece of India- for those of us who have experienced it and for those whom we what to share it with. We had more than 200 adults plus children, four vendors - each offering food, clothes and jewelry for sale. It was a first for all and I can tell with confidence that everyone had a great time. We hope to repeat it in the future as we have several requests from you all to host similar events to bring the community together. On a more serious note, our New Temple construction has to be delayed until Spring of 2016. Olmsted County is widening the road near our land and is requesting a portion to be used for the project. We are in the process of negotiating with the county as it is greatly affecting our ability to build as planned. We will be unable to build Phase 3 as described in the initial plans and maybe not at all as we see it now.
