⭐️ AKSHAR PURUSHOTTAM DARSHANNO VIDVĀN - PRANJALBEN PATEL, 4 YEARS OLD, LONDON BRENT

🔔 Pranjalben is the youngest vidvan in the entire UK and Europe to memorise the Satsang Diksha granth!

🎉 Starting her journey at just 3 years old, Pranjalben had completed 100 shloks before turning 4. She achieved this in January, and then set her sights even higher: to finish the entire Satsang Diksha before her 5th birthday.

📚 After hearing Swamishri’s ashirwad during the 2024 Mukhpath Sanman Mahotsav, her dedication grew stronger, and she reached 200 shloks, in which she even took charge of her own practice, reminding her mother when it was time for mukhpath!

💫 Pranjalben would practice up to 4 new shloks a day, and could revise 50 shloks in just 12 minutes. During her assessment, she got every single shlok right!

📜 BAPS mandirs and centres around the UK and in Europe held a pārāyan on sacred Hindu texts during the four-month holy period of Chāturmās.

DIWALI-RELATED CRIME INFORMATION

🏠 It is that time of year when families will likely be out, so please do be careful with your personal items and personal security.

⚠️ There are always concerns with regard to theft of gold, especially at this time of year due to celebrations such as Diwali, when many people are walking to and from mandirs or visiting friends and family to celebrate together.

🚨 However, thanks to the London Faith Liaison Office, which supports with crime prevention and fire safety, we have received some excellent guidance for street robbery and burglary protection that we are happy to share with you to help stay safe during this time. This applies equally to anyone living in the UK or in Europe.
