London Chaturthi

Happy Vinayagar Chaturthi from London!

We have just returned from a blessed evening pooja at Shree Ghanapathy Temple, especially auspicious this year as it served as our second distribution event for Hinduism Today. Shree Ghanapathy Temple has the largest Vinayagar Chaturthi festival in London with 3000 devotees  passing their doors during the day-most during the evening puja.

Three hundred copies of Hinduism Today were handed out by sivacharyas with arachanai to very appreciative devotees. The temple was filled with smiles as young and young at heart eagerly opened their copies to read the London story. Thank you for the well timed ePub-the download details of which will go on the temple's Facebook page and website.

The chief sivacharya gave a beautiful speech in Tamil about Kauai Aadheenam and Hinduism Today. He spoke highly of our guru lineage and thanked Hinduism Today immensely for producing this landmark article for London. This was then translated into English by Geetha Maheshwaran, who was one of our interviewees. I was asked to give an impromptu speech, expanding on the origins of the Aadheenam and HT - the words just flowed from within which I only have you to thank, we definitely felt you were all with us this evening!

Photos from this evening's events include one of Lord Ganesha with His copy of HT! As you can see, He was radiant...positively gleaming! Equally full of joy were we, in quiet contemplation that in a well coordinated manner our Guru's mission is unfolding in London.

We are ever grateful for the Love and support that surrounds us in all our endeavors..we are deeply humbled by the grace that flows from Kauai to London. As I said in my speech, our sincerest nandris goes to All at our beloved Kauai Aadheenam and the grace of beloved Lords. It is indeed All His Dance.
