Celebrating Swami Vivekananda, Sun 17th November 2013 @ Portslade Town Hall
This year we are celebrating the 150th Birth anniversary for an inspiring leader – Swami Vivekananda (1863-1902). He was a great Indian saint who promoted religious reform and multi-culturism in India and across the world. His speech at ‘Parliament of the World’s Religions in Chicago (1893) is considered to be the path-braking and comprehensive word on harmony across religious faiths and multi-culturism. As we celebrate the 150th Birth Anniv of this great messenger of Hinduism and renowned Saint from India, it is time to remember and spread his message and the Cultural, Historical landscape from a 6000 year old civilization that he comes from. We are organising an exhibition on theme “Swami Vivekanada’s life and Contribution of Indian Civilization to the world”. (more details including reports & pictures of exhibition and other details are at http://www.sv150.org.uk/ ).

Sharad Purnima – 18th October 2013 @ Hove Town Hall
Sharad Purnima , 18th October 2013 . What is Sharad Purnima? The Sharad Purnima or Kojaagari Purnima or Kumar Purnima is a harvest festival celebrated on the full moon day of the Hindu lunar month of Ashvin (September–October). It marks the end of monsoon. There is a traditional celebration of the moon and is also called the ‘Kaumudi celebration’, Kaumudi meaning moonlight. At night, goddess Lakshmi is worshiped and night vigil is observed. According to a folk-tale, once a king fell on evil days, and was in great financial straits, but then his queen observed this fast and night vigil, and worshiped the goddess of wealth, Laxmi. Consequently, they were blessed by the goddess and they regained their prosperity. It is also believed that on this day as moon and the earth are very close to each other, the moon rays have certain healing properties of nourishing the body and the soul.
