Our members and guests gathered for the holy event 8 Days of Paryushan in August/Sept 23. ‘Paryushana’ is the most important annual holy event for Jains and is usually celebrated in August or September. Jains increase their level of spiritual intensity often by means of fasting and prayer/meditation. During this period we arranged Lectures and prayers every day at Ekta Center and Navyug Center. Popular singer and Vidhikar were invited from India for this purpose. We had donations from members and the public in various fields for a good cause. 2. We did ‘Satsang’ on a monthly basis at Navyug Center. (Satsang is that a favourable environment such as the presence of holy people, listening to holy scripture or music, allows an individual to elevate his mind from one that is worldly towards a higher level of thought). 3. We carried out various activities for children. In each activity we had between 40-70 participants. We tried to develop various qualities of children of all ages through these activities. 4. We did Pat Darshan twice in a year. Pat is a portrait of Jain’s most holy place named ‘Palitana’. We offer prayers and do a virtual Journey to the holy land in this gathering. 5. We encouraged Children to Volunteer during events and during religious period making it more inclusive for younger generation 6. We also participated in a programmes by other organisations and government bodies. 7.We donated to UK based charity for the animal welfare
