We celebrated Mahavir Janma Kalyanak in 27 Patidar Hall, Wembley. This was the first time for many Hindu members that they came to know about Bhagvan Mahavir's life. They not only enjoyed this but they took part in Swapan darshan Programme and Parnu Zulavvani Vidhi. 14 dreams of Mother Trishala were displayed. Dr Vinod Kapashi explained about Mahavir Swami's life and about the Jain principles. Some 180 people joined the celebration. We also sang a new song in Jamming style in which almost all people took part in clapping and dancing. People were full of devotional mood and very much enjoyed the atmosphere. Aarti and Mangal divo were performed by all attendees. 

7. We need a volunteer for returning empty food containers back to Meera's. Please contact Vinodbhai Parekh.
