Jay Shree Swaminarayan,

Join us on Wednesday 21st April 2021 as we celebrate Ramnavmi and Swaminarayan Jayanti. Ramnavmi (Chaitra Sud Navmi) is one of the most auspicious days in the Hindu calendar where we celebrate the birth of Lord Shree Ram and Lord Shree Swaminarayan, both whom arrived on the Earth to establish righteousness.

Midday marked the arrival of Lord Shree Ram who was born in the city of Ayodhya to King Dasharath and Queen Kaushalya. At 10pm in the village of Chhapaiya, Lord Shree Swaminarayan was born to Dharmadev and Bhaktimata.

Mandir will be open for standing darshan only, please see timings below;

Morning - 7AM to 12PM, followed by Ram Bhagwan's Pragatya Aarti

Evening - 6PM to 8PM, followed by Swaminarayan Bhagwan Pragatya Aarti

Please ensure to wear a face mask when entering the Mandir and follow all social distancing measures in place.

You can also enjoy the celebrations online by tuning into our live stream via sksst.org/stream

Jay Shree Swaminarayan!

It is with great joy that we can announce that our temple will be opening from tomorrow; Monday 19th April.

Just like last time, the temple will only be open 7am - 11am. Please see the attached letter for more detailed information on social distancing, facial coverings and further guidelines.

Please kindly inform all your friends and family. We thank you for your continued support during these times.

Jay Shree Swaminarayan,

Given the circumstances and the uncertainty of the current situation, SKSS Temple Kenton Harrow has decided to cancel this years Shibir.

We know many of you were looking forward to the event and after trying every route to ensure its success, the health and safety of our haribhaktos is paramount and hence the decision has been made to cancel the event.

We apologise for any inconveniences and disappointment. In the meantime, enjoy the plenty of activities we have for you in relation to our 25th Utsav.

Stay safe and stay well.

Jay Shree Swaminarayan,

This month we’re focusing on our bhakti and feeling instrictly and physically one with our beloved Ghanshyam Maharaj. We want the power and purity of Bhakti to shine across the world and of course, this isn’t something we can do alone.

We’re calling ALL Mandirs across the globe to join us! Though we may be separated geographically, we are connected by ONE and for His 25th, we’re showing up for Him together, as ONE family.

We’ve made this as fast and simple as possible for you all! Just choose which niyam you’d like to pour your heart into for our Ghanshyam Maharaj. This could be 1, 2, 3 or all! Then fill your bhakti on satsang.sksst.org/MiniUtsav. The link will ask you for your name, the temple you attend and the niyams you choose. That simple! You can log your niyams daily, weekly or however you wish. You may even organise a time at your local mandir to collectively perform any of the bhakti niyams.

Just remember, bhaav is the epitome of Bhakti and the more you practice it, the more naturally it’ll come.

We’re looking forward to this one. Don't forget to send your photos or videos to utsav@sksst.org.

Jay Shree Swaminarayan,

To celebrate our 25th Anniversary join us throughout 2021 for ‘The Festival Series', as our young Yuvak’s and Yuvati’s narrate the essence of our auspiciously celebrated festivals and to be part of their world.

Every story will bring to you a moral that the children have gained from their understanding of the festival, through their imagination, along side some fun, laughter and inspiration from Maharaj’s little helpers!

From the birth of Lord Swaminarayan, Lord Ram and Lord Krishna, Diwali, the history behind some of our scriptures including the Vachanamrut to India's Independence Day???? to Guru Purnima to name a few.

To take part in ‘The festival series’ please refer to the poster, to see how your children can participate – a not to be missed series!

Be sure to turn on your post notifications on so you don’t miss it.

From our family to yours, let’s get together and show unity through these festivals!

Jay Shree Swaminarayan,

|| They shall devoutly observe the austerities on Ekadashi, Janmasthmi and other anniversaries such as Maha Shivratri and celebrate them with great reverence || Shikshapatri Shlokh 79

This Thursday we celebrate Maha Shivratri and honour Mahadev, the protector full of compassion and the destroyer of the sinful. Maha Shivratri celebrates the great night of Lord Shiva and his marriage with Parvati devi.

Our scriptures sing the praises of Lord Shiva such as in the Shikshapatri where Lord Swaminarayan mentions him frequently or in Vachanamrut Loya 1 where Lord Shiva is mentioned to be a master of Yoga.

Join us from 7.30pm for a virtual Shiv Poojan which will be followed by aarti.

Om Namah Shivaya!

Jay Shree Swaminarayan,

“Brighten our World with Dhun”

A jam-packed year full of various activities for you to take part in and it all starts now. We want to kick off by getting you and your families involved in two activities outlined below!

1. Create a Candle display

It’s been a tough year for us all and it's time to brighten up our lives and remove any darkness. Let your imagination flow and create a display using 25 candles together with your family to engage in some collective fun or to commemorate a lost loved one during this tough time. Have a look at some of the example videos to help spark your imagination.

2. Singing of the dhun

Bhajan bhakti is what unites us and keeps us strong during this difficult time. Let’s all take part in our virtual dhun compilation. We need you to sing along to the example video whilst listening to it on a pair of headphones. Simultaneously, record yourself from ANOTHER device.

All recordings & pictures should be taken in Landscape. Photos and videos to be submitted to harrowsksst@gmail.com OR utsav@sksst.org by the 21st March 2021.

The journey towards our 25th Utsav has begun, but we can’t do it alone. We need your help!

Jay Shree Swaminarayan,

It is with deep regret and a heavy heart to inform you that our Holding Trustee and long serving member of our Temple, Dhanjibhai Karsan Varsani (gaam Kera) has departed his mortal body, for Akshardham on 28th January 2021.

For those who had the pleasure of being in his company, will know he was unwavering and committed in his seva for Harrow Mandir. His energy and passion whilst doing his seva should serve as an example to all.

Dhanjibhai was part of the fabric of the Temple, being part of the Temple’s Treasury and Administration team, as well as a Trustee for over 25 years. Proactive and forward-thinking in his nature, he helped to shape what the Temple stands for today.

We pray at the lotus feet of our beloved Bhagwan Shree Swaminarayan to give his family and friends the strength and comfort during this difficult time.

Yours humbly,

Holding Trustees & Committee

SKSS Temple Kenton-Harrow

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
