BAPS Chicago

It was a pleasure to host @MOTreasurer Vivek Malek at the BAPS Chicago Mandir. It was inspiring to hear from him about the importance for all members of the community to be involved in the civic process.

Volunteers of @BAPSCharities donated to the @VillageOfWayne Food Pantry as a part of the Centennial Celebrations of #PramukhSwami, who taught: “In the joy of others, lies our own.”

We welcomed the leadership team of @DICCIorg, led by @DrMilindKamble, @rknarra and @SanjivDangi. They joined in the Ārti and spoke with Swamis & @BAPS volunteers about the work done by DICCI. BAPS commends their advocacy to bring equality & opportunity to the under represented.

As we celebrate the inception of this great nation some 246 years ago, we are grateful for the First Amendment right of religious freedom, along with many other freedoms, that have allowed so many faiths such as ours to integrate into the fabric of America.

Yesterday during the IL primary election, the @BAPS Mandir in Bartlett, IL served as a polling place for voters in @DuPageCounty. It was exciting to see so many people exercise their civic duty. The Mandir will also be open to all voters in the County during the general election.

We were happy to host students from the Jain Society of Metropolitan Chicago Pāthshālā on their annual field trip to places of worship.

BAPS Chicago was delighted to host Illinois State Rep. @repdanbrady (IL-105) and Wayne Township Supervisor @RameyforIL. Rep. Brady encouraged all members of the community to exercise their civic duty.

It was a pleasure having Illinois State Senator @DarrenBaileyIL and his wife, Cindy, join us @bapschicago. We appreciated learning about his vision for the hard-working people of Illinois.

On Memorial Day, we honor the brave men and women who have fallen while serving our country. We are grateful to you for protecting our freedom.
