Mid West Chapter – Maheshwari Mahasabha of North America

Jai Shri Krishna! Our Mid West Chapter proudly represents a vibrant and united Pariwar across 13 midwestern states—stretching from Iowa, Illinois, Indiana, Kansas and Kentucky to the beautiful landscapes of Montana and Nebraska, embracing the diverse communities of Ohio, Michigan, Minnesota, Wisconsin and the Dakotas. Our ever-growing family, with over 300 enthusiastic and deeply connected members, comes together in celebration, service, and shared joy, embodying the true essence of togetherness.
Festivals hold a special place in our hearts, as we gather in grandeur to celebrate the spirited traditions of Diwali, Holi, Mahesh Navami, Gangaur, Teej, and Karwachauth. These cherished occasions illuminate our lives, strengthen our bonds, and keep the vibrant colors of our culture alive in the heart of the Midwest. But beyond the festivals, our spirit of unity shines even brighter as we step outdoors for our much-anticipated summer picnic—an event where laughter echoes, friendships deepen, and we bask in the warmth of the glorious Mid West summer.
Yet, our commitment extends far beyond celebrations. We take pride in giving back to our communities through dedicated service initiatives. From volunteering at Soup Kitchens and contributing to Gleaners Food Bank to actively participating in relief efforts for local and national calamities, we stand ready to support those in need. Our passion for sports and fitness fuels our involvement in the Cricket League, Volleyball League, and NFL Fantasy League, fostering camaraderie and healthy competition. And as true champions of perseverance and endurance, many of us challenge ourselves in half and full marathons, pushing limits and inspiring others.
Together, we are more than a community—we are a family bound by traditions, service, and shared aspirations. Our Mid West Chapter thrives because of the love, dedication, and spirit each member brings, ensuring that our cultural roots flourish while we continue making a meaningful impact on the world around us.
