So, here’s wishing the entire community a
Namaste /Aadab
A big hello to the vibrant community of the
DFW metroplex.
I am so glad that we are connecting to the
entire community on so many levels and
“Desi Pages” is one of the
best platforms where we
can bring the community
together
April was the month of a
lot of festivities. According
to the Hindu calendar, it
was Chaitra month which
that marks the New year
or first month of the Hindu
calendar. The day is celebrated by different
names across the country — people in
Maharashtra celebrate it as Gudi Padwa,
Kashmiri Hindus observe it as Navreh.
In Andhra Pradesh and Karnataka, it is
celebrated as Ugadi, Sindhis celebrate it as
Cheti Chand, and in Punjab it is Baisakhi.
Chaitra Navratri, the nine-day-long festival
during which the nine incarnations of
Goddess Durga are worshipped, started on
Tuesday, April 13. The first day of Chaitra
Navratri marks the beginning of the Hindu
New Year. Last but not the least, the holy
month of Ramadan also started on April
13th.

Happy New year and Ramadan Kareem.
Along with Desi pages, you can get update
on community events in the show .The
‘Community Roundup’ show has been
created to help all nonprofit associations,
religious and social organizations to promote
their organizations, events, and activities. In
the past few weeks, we have helped several
organizations such as Shri Ram Mandir of
Plano, VYO, Art of Living Foundation, HNA,
and many more by promoting their activities
and initiatives. If you are part of any such
organizations and would like to be a guest on
our weekly segment “Community Roundup,”
please do email me at neelam@funasia.net.
In this short amount of time, we have received
an overwhelming amount of support from
the community for this new segment. Once
again, I am thankful
to our dynamic CEO,
Mrs. Vaishali Thakkar,
for her exceptional
leadership in our
endeavor to reach out
to the community. Once
again, many thanks
to the community for
continually supporting
Funasia Radio and
helping us in ‘bringing the community
together’.
