On behalf of the leadership of the Pretoria Tamil League, I extend our heartfelt gratitude and sincere appreciation to everyone who contributed to the overwhelming success of our Annual Adi Garagum Prayer.
We offer our humble gratitude and deepest thanks to our respected Gurus, Mataji, Swamiji, Assistant Stanighars, Trustees, Management Committee, Youth, devotees who carried the sacred Garagum, our dedicated cooks, cooks' assistants, volunteers, donors, sponsors, and every devotee who participated in this sacred celebration.
Your devotion, commitment, generosity, and selfless acts of seva transformed today's prayer into a truly blessed and spiritually uplifting occasion.
The unity displayed by our temple family is a beautiful reminder that when we serve Mother Marieamman with faith and love, there is no limit to what we can achieve together.
To our generous sponsors and donors, thank you for not only supporting today's prayer but also for investing in the ongoing restoration and preservation of our historic Shree Marieamman Temple. Because of your kindness, this sacred place of worship, culture, and community will continue to inspire and serve generations to come.
We also acknowledge the dedicated efforts of our Management Committee and Trustees, who continue working tirelessly to improve our temple facilities. A special word of appreciation goes to Trustee Dr Sooboo, who continues to work diligently with the City of Tshwane to enhance the external surroundings of our beloved temple.
Our sincere thanks also go to DH Sound and Lighting for their unwavering support of our fundraising initiatives. Your partnership has helped us raise much-needed funds towards our temple renovation projects, and we are deeply grateful.
To every devotee who attended, offered prayers, rendered service, prepared meals, cleaned, donated, sponsored, or simply lent a helping hand—thank you. Every act of kindness, no matter how great or small, was an offering to Mother Marieamman and contributed to the success of this auspicious day.
As we conclude this blessed celebration, let us continue to uphold the values of faith, unity, humility, compassion, and selfless service.
Together, we honour the rich legacy entrusted to us by our forefathers and ensure that our temple remains a beacon of hope, culture, and spirituality for generations to come.
May Shree Marieamman shower Her choicest blessings upon you and your families with good health, peace, happiness, protection, and prosperity. May She remove every obstacle from your path, guide your every step, and bless your homes with Her divine grace.
Thank you once again for your unwavering support. We look forward to walking this sacred journey together in service to our community and to Mother Marieamman.
Om Sakthi. Om Sakthi. Om Sakthi.
With gratitude and humble pranams,
