#SaveTheDate - Sunday 10th July 2022

Ekadashi Udyapan Poojan

Our scriptures speak very highly of a special vidhi that should be conducted at the end of a Ekadashi vrat so that the punya (fruits) are retained.

On the pious day of Devshyani Ekadashi (start of Chaturmaas), we will be holding this vidhi from 8am - 3pm. If you cannot sit for that long, table and chairs are available.

Sign up in the Mandir Kothar and take this once in a lifetime opportunity.

What an amazing way to kick off Chaturmaas.

This is an intensive care unit specialising in the care of ill or premature newborn infants.

In such times, Parents need only to spend time with their babies. What can we do to help? We can shower our love and care in abundance by gifting the items they may require the most.

It's been a difficult year so lets end it off by bringing the brightest of smiles to these precious souls and their parents.

We are collecting specific items (listed on the poster) or charitable donations for this wonderful cause!

Together we can do so much. Get involved and share the giving spirit
