HTCC Fifth Anniversary Memento Own a precious keepsake to mark the fifth anniversary of HTCC and help raise funds for the Mandir. The mementos include a silver coin (approximately 5g in weight, 1 inch in diameter) of one of the Hindu deities (Ganesh and Balakrishna) to mark the auspicious occasion. The coin is mounted on a custom designed mat incorporating the peace invocation or Shanthi Mantra “Sarve Bhavanthu Sukhina” from the Brihadaaranyaka Upanishad. The two-tone 4” x 3” metal frame provides a pleasing contrast to all other design elements. The memento will also serve as a very memorable gift to friends and family. All proceeds from the commemorative keep-sake will benefit HTCC as the production costs have been donated by a few members. Contact: Gopal at VSGopal@aol.com or call him at (573) 446-0663 to order your memento ($25 each).
