Subject: Announcing the Unanimous Election of Shri Shiv Pathak ji as Executive Vice President (EVP) for the 2026-2028 Term
Dear BSNA Members, Families, and Friends,
We are delighted to share the formal outcome of the nomination and review process for the position of Executive Vice President. On behalf of the National Executive Council (NEC), we are thrilled to formally announce the election of Shri Shiv Pathak as the new Executive Vice President (EVP) for the upcoming 2026-2028 term. After completion of EVP term, Shri Shiv Pathak ji will take offer as President for the 2029-2031 terms as per the BSNA constitution. Current EVP, Shri Praveen Sharma will take over as BSNA President starting in January 2026 for a three year term (CY 2026-2028).
Shri Shiv Pathak brings a distinguished track record of dedicated service and visionary leadership. His commitment to the values and growth of the BSNA is unwavering, and his guidance BSNA will usher in a new era of progress, collaboration, and community engagement.
The integrity and transparency of our nomination and review process are central to the health of our organization. As Shri Pathak was the sole candidate for the EVP position, the NEC conducted a meticulous review of his Nomination, Acceptance, Mission Statement, and BSNA Resume. The NEC confirmed that Shiv Pathak ji meets all requirements set forth in the Brahman Samaj of North America – Bylaws (Amended August 28, 2016). Based on this successful review, the NEC members unanimously recommended that he be declared elected as Executive Vice President for the 2026-2028 term. We extend our deepest gratitude to the entire NEC for their diligence in ensuring all organizational rules were strictly followed.
Congratulations to Shiv Pathak ji and I urge all of you to support the BSNA leadership team in building a stronger, more vibrant BSNA for the benefit of all.
With sincere regards and best wishes,
Ajay Pandey

Wishing You a Very Happy Dhanteras and Deepawali!
On behalf of the Brahman Samaj of North America, I extend the warmest wishes to you and your family as we usher in the joyous festivities of Dhanteras on Saturday, October 18, and the main celebrations of Deepawali on Monday, October 20. Many of our Chapter Members will gather to celebrate Diwali across USA and Canada and I wish I could attend all these festivities with cultural programs, lectures, and all the nice food. I want to thank each one of you for your dedication to keep our tradition, culture and values alive for the next generation of Brahmans in USA and Canada.
Today is Dhanteras, the auspicious day to welcome wealth and prosperity into our homes, it marks the beautiful beginning of the five-day festival of lights. May your homes be blessed with the glow of the Diya (oil lamp), the sweet sound of laughter, and the spirit of renewal.
Deepawali is the celebration of light over darkness, knowledge over ignorance, and good over evil. As we light our homes, offer prayers to Goddess Lakshmi and Lord Ganesha, and partake in the joyous exchange of sweets and goodwill, let us remember the deeper meaning of this festival: the triumph of inner light and goodness.
