Dear Devotees

*Jaikara Sherawali da
Bol saachhe Darbaar ki
Jai!!!*

Keys to our Beloved Mandir are in our hands now🎊🎉🎊🎉

We should always trust the Devine plan for us. The person handing the keys to me told me that he hasn't seen too many people getting their property back like this.

I told him *We never doubted for one moment that we will not get the keys back. Our beloved Maa & Her family members are here to look after us. We have nothing to fear.*

Huge THANK YOU to our Patrons who supported me throughout this tough time to raise the funds. THANK you to each Devotee for supporting & for keeping the faith.

*Join us this evening for RudraAbhishek & Aarti at 7.30pm* to thank our Ganpati, Lord God Mahadev, our beloved Maa, RadhaKrishna, Ram Darbaar, Hanuman dada, Murugan swami, Sai Baba & Jalaram Bapa.

Har Har Mahadev

On the occasion of Rakshabandhan, we organised a group of young people & adults to visit our local Chelmsford Fire Station.

We tied Rakhi the thread of protection on the wrists of our brave Fire Fighters who have been extremely busy this summer saving lives, saving us.

This is our way of saying THANK YOU to all our Firemen who risk their own lives to protect us.

May God bless & protect all those who protect us.

Dear Devotees

Dear Devotees

Jai Shree Krishn.
Wishing you & family a very Shubh Janmashtami.

*Just as Shri Krishna was born in Dwarika so was Yogmaya Shri Mata born in Mathura on this day*. We rejoice the appearance of Maa as well as shri Krishna today.

Maa prepared the entire background for Shree Krishna to be born & then transferred to Mathura.
SHE did Akashwani to Evil Kansa that his end was imminent no matter how many children he killed. The one responsible for his death has taken birth.

*Update on Mandir*

1. We raised funds and transferred the funds to our solicitors accounts one & half weeks ago.
2. The bank has also sent the money to the solicitors account 2 days ago.
3. We were very sure that completion was going to happen yesterday or latest this morning.

Its heartbreaking but *I have to let you all know that even today we couldn't complete & get the keys to the Mandir. Mandir will not be open today for Janmashtami puja.*

The lenders solicitors have gone on leave today.

We are hoping that the completion will happen on Monday.

The Lenders & their solicitors are ruthless & cruel like *Kansa* so *we have to unite & pray tonight to Devi Maa & Lord Krishna to rescue us & get us over this last hurdle.*

*We are meeting in front of the Temple tonight at 7pm to light a diya for Shri Krishna.*

Those who wish to join are welcome to put a battery diya in front of the Mandir entrance tonight to welcome Baal Gopal.

Jai kanhaiya lal ki
Haathi ghoda palki
