Houston Khadayata Mitra Mandal
Jai Shree Krishna!
The Houston Khadayata Mitra Mandal is a non-profit
organization geared towards bringing Khadayata living in the Houston Metro area
together like a one happy family.
Our goal is that every Khadayata should be listed in our members’ directory. We urge each and every member to attend our events and help to make them more interactive and enjoyable. It is our intent that this way we all come to know each other and have fun doing projects and celebrating events. This grass root effort will help to setup a stage for our children to mingle with each other and develop soft skills such as public speaking, performing arts, fund raising and getting along with others.
Our mission is to promote good values for our children, be a good citizen in our society, pass on our rich traditions, heritage and culture to our kids and make a difference in this world by giving and sharing.
We need your help and participation to take this organization to the next level. We know we can count on you so let’s work together to make it happen!
Membership
Any Khadayata living in the Houston Metro Area is welcome to be a member of our organization. There is no membership fee however most of the events have fees to pay for the expenses. As of 2005, we have about 81 families listed in our directory.

Events
The best way to make the events more enjoyable is to

5 Laws of Life You Can Depend on
1.
This,
too, shall pass.
Nothing stays the same. The only constant in life is change. With every decision we make, we initiate change. Even when we decide not to decide, life still goes on, and changes still occur. When we are in a state of discomfort, sadness, grief, or pain, we know that because life goes on, change will bring us some kind of relief. And because even comfort, happiness, and all good things also pass, we know that we need to appreciate and cherish each precious, fleeting moment.
2.
Time
heals.
The timepiece of life never stops. Neither does it pause for those who celebrate, speed up for those who are impatient, nor slow down for those who fear tomorrow. Time ticks a regular rhythm that steadily brings new moments, new days, and new seasons. As time pushes forward, we take new steps, face new challenges, and create new opportunities. And as life goes on, we are forced to move past our episodes of disappointment, sorrow, or despair. More than anything else, time heals not just broken bones but broken hearts as well.
3.
Ask,
and you shall receive.
People won t know what you want unless you ask for it. Dreams and goals are just wishes until you act on them, and acting on them often requires that you ask for answers, for assistance, or for something tangible. It takes a lot of courage to ask for help, but when you come forward, only then will the world know what to give you. Just ask and know that miracles can happen.
4.
You
can have anything, but not everything.
Life offers us infinite possibilities. With hard work, determination, and perseverance, we can achieve anything. If we re willing to pay the price and go the extra mile, we can have whatever our hearts desire. But no matter how hard we try, we can t have everything. Life is a balancing act of wins, losses, and trade-offs we gain some and we lose some.
5.
What
goes around comes around.
It s the universal law of
nature: do to others what you want others to do to you, because whatever you
sow, you reap; whatever you give, you get back ten-fold. It doesn’t hurt to
smile, or be kind, or extend a helping hand. You never know when or how, but
every act of goodness always returns to the GIVER Give one today and receive
ten tomorrow.
