This year, along with the registration fee, we are encouraging you to give a little back to the community by undertaking a number of seva hours through activities such as Blood Donations, volunteering at temple events and our weekly Foodbanks, community clean-up schemes and serving the elderly etc. Let us unite and serve our community needs.

#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.

THE SEASON OF GIVING IS UPON US! This year, we have chosen to give aid to local Neonatal Intensive Care Units.

What is Neonatal?

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

Jay Swaminarayan,

Give back to those who gave you the WORLD - our Elders!

They're our firmest Believers, Motivators & Supporters - at every point in our lives

During the season of giving, why not remind your elder relatives of just how much they mean to you, with something they'd appreciate?!

This is now closed

Deadline: Tuesday 10th November 2020.

Don't miss out on an opportunity to bring a smile on your elders faces this Diwali!
