Jai Jinendra!
This time of year is always special for our Association. It is now almost 5 years to the day when we celebrated the Panch Kalyanak Mahotsav in 2006 with immense enthusiasm, vigour and joy. Pratishta Day will fall this year on 13th August and we will celebrate this with a Panch Kalyanak Vidhaan Puja from the Tuesday 9th – Saturday 13th August. Also, Benshree Champaben’s 98th Janma Mahotsav falls on Monday 15th August; she has been instrumental in augmenting the true understanding of ‘self’ that was re-initiated by Pujya Gurudev. To celebrate Benshreeben’s Janma Jayanti there will take place a Ratnatray Vidhaan Puja from Sunday 14th – Tuesday 16th August and Vadhaamna on Sunday 14th and Monday 15th August.
