The Strategic Acquisition
The Trustees and Committee members of the Vaishnav Sangh of UK (VSUK), have immense pleasure in conveying the good news to the entire UK Hindu Community that we have now acquired premises which will be the new home of Shrinathji together with the existing Community Centre. This Haveli is now renamed as 'Shrinathdham National Haveli & Community Centre UK'. The quest for Shrinathji's permanent home is now over after searching extensively all over London.
Historic Timeline
The premises is very well located at the centre of Harrow with good transport links. With Thakorji's Krupa and Je Je Shree's Ashirwad, the long-awaited dream to establish a Haveli in London was fulfilled. VSUK was able to raise around £2,000,000 from the public towards this acquisition.
Divine Marg Darshan
With Jejeshree's Marg Darshan and Thakorji's Krupa, the UK Vaishnav's are truly blessed to have the first ever Pushti haveli - ”Shrinathdham Haveli” in London. Inspired by our Acharyashree, many generous individuals have contributed greatly through their personal presence, intellect and monetary support.
Generational Continuity
VSUK has fulfilled its commitment to provide a base for the benefit of our upcoming future generations for them to remain connected with our religion. The premises will incorporate Baal Pathshala, Youth classes, Kirtan classes, Gujarati classes, and Satsangs once we are out of the pandemic.
A Legacy of Major Mahotsavs
We have been blessed by Pujya Je Je Shree to have organized exceptional Mahotsavs. In August 2018 at Byron Hall, up to 2,000 people attended each day over the 7-day event: “84 Kos Vraj Yatra Mahotsav”, telecast via Astha.
