Jay Shree Swaminarayan,
Only a few months left till we celebrate 200 years of Narnarayandev in Bhuj. In the lead up to this maha utsav, all 8 UK mandirs are each taking the niyam to do 25 hours of dhun, totalling 200 hours.
Please take a note of the above poster listing the dates and times of when the dhun will take place. (Watch this space for further dates coming out soon) .
Jay Shree Swaminarayan,
Christmas is only a few weeks away and after 2 whole years, our annual Funday is back! The day kickstarts at 10.30am and finishes at 5:30pm!
Join us for a fun-filled day of games, activities and prizes for the whole family to enjoy.
Raffle tickets will be on sale throughout the day for your chance to win some great gifts. All proceeds from the raffle will be donated to our chosen charity Project Giving.
Lunch will be served around midday.
Jay Shree Swaminarayan,
Dhanurmaas starts on Saturday 17th December and ends on Saturday 14th January 2023.
Please join us every Sunday during this month for dhun between 8:30-9:30am.
During Dhanurmas, it is considered auspicious to perform good deeds early in the morning and so, dhuns and kirtans are usually sung. Also during this month, Shree Krushna Bhagwan also went to his guru – Sandipani Rushi, to receive his education. We commemorate this by waking Ghanshyam Maharaj up early and adorning the sinhasan to prepare him for school.
You can donate for the occasion via https://www.eltemple.uk/donation, or in person at the Temple!
Jay Shree Swaminarayan,
