Mandir Messages & Covid-19 Updates

June 27th, 2022, Mandir Anniversary (111 Location)

Namaste, Greetings to Everyone:


On June 27th, 2022, the Mandir celebrated its 8th year at the 111th Street location in Queens, N.Y.  A special "Thank You" to the community and every one of our wonderful supporters, including a "special thank you to all of the participating Pandits of the Shri Tulsi Mandir."


As many of you know, the Mandir's lifetime actually spans 17 years with a Foundation Anniversary date on August 15th.  At that time, the Mandir will celebrate its 18th anniversary for 2022! Our organization will continue to serve the community as best as possible, along with our supporters' good faith. 


In addition, I would like to take a moment to update everyone on the Covid-19 situation with relation to the Mandir. The Mandir continues to operate following the New York State Covid-19 guidelines and the CDC (Centers for Disease Control) recommendations for religious organizations.  


All attending members must continue to wear masks as necessary safety precautions.  


  • The Mandir is cleaned and remains sanitized.
  • Everyone MUST wear a Mask inside the Mandir when attending/sitting for the entire service session. 
  • Please also know that because of the constant changing covid-19 situation, the Mandir continues to reserve the right to distribute food on a takeaway basis depending on the current Covid-19 circumstances, and as necessary safety precautions.


Thank you for your understanding and patience in this most precedent time in history!


God's Blessings to Each and Every one of You,

June 25th, 2020 COVID-19 Mandir Update:

Namaste, Greetings to Everyone:


The Mandir will be holding its first set of prayer sessions on Friday, June 26th, 2020. We are following the New York State Covid-19 guidelines, and in accordance with the CDC recommendations limiting to 50 persons at a time, and a mask should be worn during service.


The Mandir is clean and remains sanitized. Everyone MUST wear a Mask inside the Mandir when attending/sitting for the entire service session. We hope to rotate families according to the minimum persons' guidelines permitted within an enclosed facility. Everyone will have a chance to enter the Mandir and perform their offerings at the Altar. We need to take turns, and patience will be greatly appreciated.


Our community, New York and the world is still fighting the Covid-19 battle.  However, as of June 25th, 2020, New York was determined to be at its "best" health status, since the state's shutdown. We highly recommend, and urge our members and the community, to still practice safety precautions when out in public. Everyone should continue to wear masks outside, in public spaces and shared/public indoor facilities. Everyone should still continue to sanitize hands when outdoors and after running errands, especially when hand washing was not possible at the time.


The Mandir is taking the same sanitary precautions and we hope that everyone does the same at the Mandir.  Unfortunately, Covid-19 has not been completely eradicated, so please wear a mask while in the Mandir and during prayer service sessions.


We are all one in the end. What happens to one, happens to all, and love (and love for each other) always wins in the end.


We look forward to seeing you all, after so long.


God's Blessings to Each and Every one of You,


Pandit Lakhram Maharaj

March 18, 2020 COVID-19 Message:

Namaste, Greetings to Everyone:


As everyone is aware, the world is fighting against Covid-19 virus. The Mandir is no exception, and is abiding by the new rules and regulations, and in accordance with the "social distancing" mandate. 


As conditions evolve, we are taking precautionary actions to mitigate everyone's exposure and reduce the impact of the Coronavirus (COVID-19) on our members, volunteers and community. We are doing our part to protect the community where we live and serve.


We are also closely monitoring the situation with local, state and federal health agencies, as well as monitoring and reinforcing guidance from the Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).


Below, is a friendly reminder on the handling of Covid-19 and keeping safe:


  • Practice "social distancing."
  • Frequent handwashing and use of sanitizer.
  • Avoiding touching mouth, nose and eyes.
  • Keeping a safe distance from anyone self-quarantined or sick.
  • Staying home if you are sick.
  • Seek medical attention if breathing becomes difficult.
  • Traveling & international travel could expose you to the virus.


Please do practice patience during this challenging time and visit the "Centers for Disease Control" at CDC.GOV for the latest information on the Covid-19 virus. Please stay informed, as knowing is half the battle.


On behalf of myself and everyone at the Mandir, our thoughts and prayers are with our members, the community, and the world. Including, all those who are being impacted directly such as, essential workers, Doctors & all Medical staff, and our Health Care System. 


"Please remember,...Out of Darkness, always comes Light."
