Monday 17th December marks the start of the winter month of Dhanurmaas. In Dhanurmaas, it is considered very auspicious to perform good deeds early in the morning. This is why dhuns and kirtans are sung in the Mandir.

During this month, Shree Krishna Bhagwan also went to His guru, Sandipani Rushi, to receive His education. We celebrate this by waking Ghanshyam Maharaj up early and adorning the sinhasan to prepare Him for school.

Therefore, until Monday 14th January 2019 (marking the end of Dhanurmaas), we will carry out the Swaminarayan Mahamantra dhun every Sunday from 8:30-9:30am.

Our annual Christmas Funday kicks off at 10.30am! Join us for a fun filled day of games, activities and prizes for the Ho Ho whole family to enjoy.

Raffle tickets will be on sale throughout the day – our chosen charity for this year is DKMS, whose mission is to provide a matching donor for every blood cancer patient in need of a blood stem cell donation. Right now, white Europeans have a 69% chance of finding the best possible match, while people from black, Asian and minority ethnic backgrounds have just a 20.5% chance.
