There was a nice seven days Shreemad Bhagvat Katha in Shree
Swaminarayan temple – Kenton (London). Sdg. Shastri Shree
Madhavpriydasji Swami and Purani Shree Madhavjivandasji Swami gave
vivid description in interesting speech. The devotees enjoyed it.
Chief host of the Katha was Shree Bhimjibhai Ashani family of London
(Village: Baladiya).
During the Katha at night from 08-30 to 10.00 p.m. there was the
special meeting of youths with Purani Shree Madhavjivandasji Swami.

tooth and nail for the success of the camp. Youngsters of London,

wonderful and successful presentation with computer aids on various
topics like- Lord Shree Swaminarayan – The Supremacy, Tirthyatra,
Hinduism etc.

Mala, Pradaxina, Thal etc. Participants acquired much important
knowledge from this presentation.
Everyday devotees enjoyed the Purani Shree Hariswaroop Swami’s video
cassette on different subjects.
In addition Pujya

Pooja and practically showed that how to perform it. The
participants took the pledge to do the five times Mansi Pooja
everyday.
In the end of the camp

encouraged. All the participants were gifted with a laminated
photograph of Sdg. Shree Muktanand Swami.
The end of the camp was
emotional, tears rolled down from the eyes of all. Everybody was
willing to have another long camp in a short period.
