Dear Devotees,

On the occasion of 10th Varshik Mahotsav, the HTBN team requests
articles from community members on various topics of Hindu Dharma.
Selected articles will find a place in the souvenir that will be released on
that occasion. Souvenir is an annual booklet prepared by HTBN with an
intent to reach out to the community. It contains a compilation of
devotee’s experiences, their outlook, their experiences to inspire the
community and benefit from them. It is a platform for devotees to
participate in many ways. One of the main participations is advertising
in the Souvenir by which devotees can reach the community and help
fund the Souvenir. Advertising in the souvenir will recognize the
business in the community and provide the information that is
advertised. The other way the devotees can participate is writing and
submitting articles to the magazine. The articles’ content and format for
advertising have been prepared and is being communicated. Devotees
can share their experience which will inspire other devotes to experience
the same. It has been an experience from past Souvenir’s that devotee’s
participation in writing articles could be improved. In that context, the
committee has recommended some recognition awards for writing the
articles. The recognition which is recommended is as follows:
 All devotees who submit Articles will be recognized with one
special Archana for Family on any day they choose as a thankful
gesture.
 Articles selected to include in the Souvenir will be recognized with
a Commemorative Silver Coin and one special Archana for Family

 The First 5 articles submitted which meet the criteria will be
recognized with a Commemorative Silver Coin irrespective of
whether their article is published in the Souvenir. If the article is
selected for publishing, their award has already been given.
 Advertising in the Souvenir will help fund the cost of the Souvenir
and advertisers who advertise full page or half page will be
recognized with a Commemorative Silver Coin and one special
Archana for Family on any day they choose as a thankful gesture.
