[Secretary HDBS]

Dear HDBS Patrons,

As you all know by now, Harris County authorities elevated the COVID-19 threat level to 1 (red) on Friday, June 26, prompting the closure of Houston Durgabari after a brief three weeks of partial re-opening. We urge all of you to stay home as much as possible and follow all safety guidelines.

Last week, for the first time, we live-streamed a major religious event, Bipattarini Puja on our YouTube and Facebook channels. The community received it very well. We had devotees from all over North America, tuning in, casting the YouTube streams to their wide screen televisions, and offering anjali from their homes. We are encouraged by your support, and happy that many of you were able to join us remotely for this auspicious Puja.

Please stay tuned and will try our best to bring the Durgabari experience to you as much as possible, during these difficult times. Like us on Facebook, subscribe to our YouTube channel, and visit our website at http://www.durgabari.org. May Ma Durga keep us all safe.

 

Sincerely,

HDBS Executive Board
