सेंट्रल व्हॅली मराठी मंडळासह (CVMM) स्वप्नासारखा समुदाय तयार करणे

 The Dreamers' Oasis in a Foreign Land

Let's face it; being miles away from our motherland can evoke a myriad of emotions—nostalgia, a sense of longing, and, sometimes, a dash of homesickness. What if I told you that we've created a sanctuary for those who are far away from home but want to keep the essence of Maharashtra alive? Welcome to Central Valley Marathi Mandal (CVMM), the dream community where boundaries blur and cultural vibrancy thrives.

आपल्या मातृभूमीपासून अनेक मैल दूर राहिल्याने असंख्य भावना जागृत होऊ शकतातनॉस्टॅल्जियाउत्कंठा आणि काहीवेळा घरातील अस्वस्थताजे घरापासून दूर आहेत पण महाराष्ट्राचे सार जिवंत ठेवू इच्छितात त्यांच्यासाठी आम्ही एक अभयारण्य निर्माण केले आहे असे मी तुम्हाला सांगितले तरसेंट्रल व्हॅली मराठी मंडळ (CVMM) मध्ये आपले स्वागत आहेजिथे सीमा अस्पष्ट आणि सांस्कृतिक चैतन्य फुलते.

The Genesis: Why CVMM?

You've heard the saying, "Home is where the heart is." CVMM epitomizes this sentiment by offering a slice of our beloved Maharashtra right here. But why, you may ask? Simple. As much as we appreciate the opportunity to live in this dream world far from our roots, we deeply recognize the role of community. The need for a cultural, emotional, and social support system was the catalyst for creating CVMM.

"हृदय असते तिथे घर असतेही म्हण तुम्ही ऐकली असेलCVMM आपल्या लाडक्या महाराष्ट्राचा एक तुकडा इथे सादर करून या भावनेचे प्रतीक आहेपण कातुम्ही विचारालसोपेआपल्या मुळापासून दूर असलेल्या या स्वप्नातील जगात जगण्याच्या संधीचे आपण जितके कौतुक करतो तितकेच आपण समाजाची भूमिका मनापासून ओळखतोCVMM तयार करण्यासाठी सांस्कृतिकभावनिक आणि सामाजिक समर्थन प्रणालीची आवश्यकता उत्प्रेरक होती.


Unfurling the Marathi Canvas

From Gudi Padwa to Diwali, from Pakhawaj to Dholki, the rich fabric of Marathi culture is something we not only want to preserve but also celebrate with pomp and grandeur. That’s why CVMM aims to host Marathi cultural events as much as feasible. Picture yourself immersed in the sounds of a live Lavani performance or enjoying an authentic Marathi play—right here, among friends and family!
