SPM East London
& Ilford
Sardar Namaskar
Shree Prajapati Mandal of East London wish that everyone
had a heartiest Deepavali and our best wishes for the New
Year, Vikram Savant 2074 to all our Prajapatis in the UK and
overseas. May God bless you all with good health, wealth and
prosperity.
SPM East London branch joined SPA (UK) in 2011. Since then,
we can proudly say that our members have wholeheartedly
supported SPA (UK) events. Once again, this year’s Mahila
Samelan and Senior Sneh Milan were very well supported
by our branch members with our ticket allocations being
sold out completely. For a small branch like ours, this was a
tremendous achievement.
I am also humble and proud to say that three of the East
London branch members were elected onto the SPA (UK)
Senior’s committee. Balvantbhai, Ramanbhai and Ranjanaben
have been part of the organising committee for the past
year. We are proud to say that the costs for food at the
event was donated by one of our senior members, Shree
Parvatiben Maganbhai Mistry. Our members thoroughly
enjoyed this year’s event with Vasantbhai and Ramanbhai
from our branch entertaining everyone with a Rastra geet
and bhajans.
Over the course of the year, our members supported us
well in our key events of Navratri and Diwali. We also held
our second Shradh bhajan event in memory of our dearly
departed. We invited a local Bhajan Mandli (bhajan singing
group) to sing a variety of bhajans during the afternoon.
They were ably supported by some of our members.
The event was a resounding success and has become a
permanent fixture in our annual calendar.
Finally, I would like to thank all of our committee members,
volunteers and all those who have donated generously
over the years and continue to do so. Our heartiest
congratulations go to all Prajapatis who have achieved
excellence in their chosen fields and our thoughts and
prayers are with the families and friends of those who have
lost their loved ones.
