Our Geoffrey has always got something to do at the Ashram. Apart from his own work, he never neglects the maintaining of the Ashram and its surroundings. If there is someone to help us, it saves his time and travelling, otherwise he is always prepared to help us as and when it is needed. If the weather is nice, he would, while he visits the Ashram for one reason or another, try to see that all is in order. At our May Satsang he had to collect two of our lady friends and singers from Croydon as they wanted to pay a visit, and then he drove them back safely to their homes. I feel that we will be lost without his services to the Ashram and Centre as a whole. We pray for his long life, health and strength to continue serving the organisation.
Although we may not organise ‘Fund Raising Occasions’, our Members, Friends and Visitors are very generous in contributing, according to their means, to the funds of the Centre. These have proved a great help to us in implementing the old and new Projects for the Ashram as well as to provide facilities to Visitors. The donations come to us through various sources.
a) When they visit us at the Satsang (our Monthly Meetings), either they donate or put in the ‘Offering Box’, b) On visits for their ‘Birthdays’, Anniversaries’, ‘Auspicious Occasions‘ and various other functions. c) Our own Members, who put in a lot of effort to help serving the cause, donate to us more on regular occasions. d) Our overseas Members and Friends send us some donations from time to time. e) Non members who receive our ‘Complimentary’ copies of the Magazine, send donations to show their closeness to the Centre/Ashram.
TOTAL DONATIONS RECEIVED DURING THE PERIOD OF THIS MAGAZINE IS £978
Receipts for the ‘Donations’ are sent to all but in case we have missed it, we apologise to them but their money has been safely deposited to our Bank.
Some of the names are Louisa from the States, Simon on becoming a ‘Life Member’, Dora from Italy, Govindji from London, a Life long companion of the Centre, Tugs from France.
Some of us who are already donating through Deed of Covenants/Gift Aid, donate on their visits and other occasions.
We pray to the Lord to bless all these noble souls And shower upon them many folds.
