BARDAI BRAHMIN SAMAJ LONDON Presidents Message BARDAI BRAHMIN SAMAJ LONDON
Dear Members We have started another year with new committee, who have very high hopes and aspiration to provide you all with a fun filled year of events. Sadly, their desire to organise events, is however quickly dashed due to non-support from the community. Our organisation in the early days flourished as a result of the whole hearted support and backing received from the community members. I have to commend these individuals who join the working committee, for having the optimism and desire to maintain the momentum.However as experienced in the previous years, these members have sad faces as time progresses, due to lacklustre support and attendance, and for some not to stay on the working committee the following year. Apologies for my pessimism, if we as a samaj do not wake up and revive Bardai Brahmin Samaj London, the outlook is very bleak, therefore my request to you all, is provide your support and make 2019 a year to remember when this dying samaj was brought back to life by your support. Best wishes Jai Shri Krishna! Jai Shri Trikamjibapu! Bhasker Dave

Maha Shivratri 2014 Summary

On Sunday 2 March 2014, Samaj members gathered in the Temple Hall at the Jaspar Centre, Harrow to celebrate Maha Shivratri.
The event began with a Lingum Abhishek that was wonderfully arranged by Girishbhai and Krishnaben Thanki. Over 110 people (approximately 42 families) participated in the puja by pouring Panchamrit over the Lingum and then offering bilva patra. Samaj members marked the end of the puja with an arti that was led by Nehaben Joshi, one of our very talented youth members.
 
Following the puja, Jayeshbhai Rajyaguru and Nareshbhai Joshi gave a concise speech on the importance of Maha Shivrati. Jayeshbhai explained that on this auspicious day, Lord Shiva in his Nataraja swaroop, did the Tandav dance marking the end of the universe, the pralaya after which Lord Brahma recreates the samsara (the universe).
 
Next, Nareshbhai led on a dhyan session as a means of remembrance for the day that Trikamji Bapu took Samadhi (his disappearance day), chanting the Om Namo Bhagavate Rudraya mantra 108 times (which is in the Shree Rudram from the Yajur Veda). Shortly after, members enjoyed light refreshments and Prashad that was kindly donated by many members and companies such as Gayatri Sweet Mart and Lavish Fruit and Veg.
 
The afternoon ended with lively satsang led by Akhilbhai Raithatha and Group, in addition to bhajans and dhuns performed by some of our youth members.
 
Thanks to Karunashankerbhai Joshi and Harshadbhai Modha who kindly offered their services to take photos throughout the event.
 
Thank you also to all members who helped out on the day and those who attended - together you helped make this a successful event!
