COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT KRISHNA CLUB Although London Rathayatra was sadly cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Krishna Club children were given a fun project of making their own Rath cart for Lord Jagannatha, Lord Baladeva and Subhadra Devi and participating in the festival in their own homes. Alternatively, they could write a letter to Lord Jagannatha. Below is a letter written by Narahari and Rath carts made by Thanushri (middle) and Tungavidya (right).
SRI SRI RADHA-LONDONISVARA JAPA SANGA The daily japa sanga, which started on Friday 27th March and is facilitated by Devaki devi dasi, has continued to take place every day on Zoom from 6.00pm to 6.40pm. At the start of each session, there are prayers for those who are unwell or who have sadly passed away. This is followed by a short reading about the holy names and then 30 minutes of group japa. Afterwards, devotees share realisations on the sanga’s WhatsApp group. Devotees find the japa sessions a nourishing part of their daily schedule and many have said how it has helped them improve the quality of their japa. If you would like to participate, please join the WhatsApp group using the following link: https://bit.ly/esanga-japa
LONDON MELLOWS 2020: A GLOBAL OFFERING OF LOVE FOR SRI SRI RADHA-LONDONISVARA This year our annual kirtan weekend went online due to the pandemic. On Saturday 6th and Sunday 7th June, the London Mellows team organised an amazing and uplifting weekend of kirtans by kirtaneers from across the globe for the pleasure of Their Lordships and the global Vaishnava audience. The event kicked off with a welcome message streamed live from the Temple Room and joyously led by the Temple residents. On both days, live darshan was streamed. Their Lordships and the altar were beautifully decorated in a holy name theme. 11
