Mohali: The grand inauguration of the newly constructed, state-of-the-art, air-conditioned "Nandani Auditorium" took place at Mat-Pita Gaudham Mahatirth (located in Village Khallaur on the Banur-Ambala Road, Mohali). The ceremony was performed by the renowned international Vedic storyteller, Acharya Rajeshwaranand Maharaj, during the 174th monthly *Bhandara* (community feast).
A large number of devotees, *Gau-bhakts* (devotees of the holy cow), and social workers from various regions—including Punjab, Haryana, Himachal Pradesh, and Delhi—attended the event.
An atmosphere of immense enthusiasm and devotion prevailed among the devotees throughout the program. Attendees were immersed in spirituality while participating in the *Havan-Yajna*, *Satsang*, and *Bhajan-Kirtan*, and they received blessings from 'Nandani Gaumata,' who is revered as the embodiment of *Kamadhenu* (the wish-fulfilling divine cow).
The newly built Nandani Auditorium has been developed with modern amenities. This spacious, fully air-conditioned hall will now provide a highly comfortable environment for devotees attending *Satsangs*, spiritual discourses, religious programs, service award ceremonies, and other social events throughout the year. Devotees will be able to participate in these programs for extended periods without discomfort, even during the summer season.
A highlight of the event was the 'Service Honor Ceremony,' where numerous social workers and inspirational figures were felicitated for their outstanding contributions to society—ranging from the care of elderly parents and *Gau-seva* (service to cows) to the marriage of underprivileged girls, humanitarian aid, and various religious and social initiatives.
Those honored included Krishna Sakhi Kajal Mangalmukhi (an inspiration for humanitarian service, education, and devotion to Lord Krishna); KK Agarwal (a dedicated devotee of *Gaumata* and an environmentalist); Sardar Karamjit Singh Chilla (a senior journalist, social worker, and preserver of culture); and Kunal Jindal (an inspiration for secularism and humanitarian service).
The event concluded with a grand community feast (*Bhandara*). Present on this occasion were Trustees Kashmiri Lal Gupta, Surnesh Singla, and Amarjit Bansal; President Subhash Singla; Vice President Kapil Verma; Press Secretary Surat Walia; Bhandara In-charge Jeevan Kumar Babbu (Additional Secretary); Assistant Treasurer Pankaj Jaiswal; Acharya Swami Rajeshwaranand Ji Maharaj; Baba Baran Wale Khalsa Ji; Baba Gurpreet Singh Ji; Shri Satpal Singh Punia Ji; Dr. Dilawar Singh Ji; Shri Sanjay Sharma Ji; Shri Pritam Singh Ji; Shri Yashpal Singh Ji; Shri Soharan Singh Ji; Shri Joginder Singh Ji; Shri Amar Singh Ji; Shri Fariyad Kheda Ji; Shri Dilbar Singh Ji; and Khalsa Vishal.
