Looking forward to speaking at the AGM of the Hindu Forum of Great Britain this afternoon. The challenge before the Forum is how it will move forward and continue to be a force for good and unity after the tragic loss last year of it’s guiding light Arjan Vekaria .
I still recall the steadfast support he, Gauri Das and others gave Sewa Day when we, led by Arup Kumar Ganguly decided to stand up to UK government nepotism.
Here is a photo of Arjan bhai along with Gauri prabhu Vikas Pota Jitu bhai Patel (Neasden Temple) and Communities Minister Eric Pickles at the Hare Krishna Temple following a meeting to drive home the Sewa Day concern to the minister.
Bitter sweet memories today.
