Badri Opening Session Rescheduled to September 20, 2026

Harih Om,

We have all been eagerly looking forward to beginning our new session at Badri on September 13, 2026. As we complete the final steps toward fully opening the expanded facility, we are still awaiting the Certificate of Occupancy from DuPage County. Until this final approval is received, we will need to wait one additional week before beginning our regular sessions at Badri.

Based on our ongoing communication with the County, we are hopeful and expecting a favorable response during the coming week. Accordingly, we are planning to begin our new Badri session from Sunday, September 20, 2026.

Please make a note of this revised date. We will continue to keep everyone updated during the week as we complete these final steps.

Thank you for your patience, understanding, and continued enthusiasm. We are very close, and we look forward to welcoming everyone back to Badri and beginning this new chapter together.

Pranams,

CMC Badri Working Group
