The devotees, the teachers, the environment are all so<br />

open and loving. When you walk into the temple, people<br />

are always so happy to welcome you and offer you any<br />

support you may need.<br />

Most of all, and by far the greatest quality of the temple,<br />

there is an intense love for the Lord, and you can see it<br />

in the smiles of all around.<br />

I offer my sincere thanks and pranaams to all the<br />

teachers of MLVB. May you continue to serve the<br />

community and touch the hearts of many as you did me!<br />

In HIS service, with Prem and OM – Sanjive.<br />

“Believe that MLVB is a truly<br />

blessed home and that God<br />

joyfully resides there”<br />

Our Dear <strong>Maha</strong> <strong>Lakshmi</strong> <strong>Vidya</strong> <strong>Bhavan</strong><br />

Congratulations to all, on our 25th anniversary. We<br />

deserve to celebrate and truly enjoy this anniversary in a<br />

rich and powerful way as a mark of the success of all of<br />

the trials we have gone through to get where we are<br />

today with our ‘home' and as a show of determination<br />

and fortitude for the rest of our lives.<br />

MLVB has given support and encouragement beyond the<br />

highest measure to humbly push the youngsters of our<br />

society into positions of trust and recognition, which we<br />

might have only dreamt of. We, the youths and children,<br />

are eternally grateful for such inspired guidance.<br />

Many of us question ourselves as to why we might be<br />

here and as to what is our purpose on Mother Earth. It is<br />

a very innate question, yet we may never know the one<br />

true answer to it in this birth. However, the feeling at<br />

heart of knowing you are doing something right and<br />

even more powerful, that you are heading towards that<br />

very answer to our ‘Home’ is one that is very rare. Those<br />

reading this should know that they are blessed to<br />

experience this regular spiritual intoxication of our<br />

Mandir. Indeed, like desert creatures we crave for more<br />

and more of His love.<br />

I want to stay in this revelation of love that produces the<br />

most immense glow at our mandir. I want to stay under<br />

His unbelievable might and protection here and I invite<br />

all of His children to happily share in this path Home<br />

with us. Believe that MLVB is a truly blessed home and<br />

that God joyfully resides there! Come and meet Him for<br />

HIS Darshan!<br />

May our Shree Krishna’s bliss shine through us and to all<br />

those we encounter. At the highlight of this year-long<br />

celebration, Deepavali, may our dear, ever-graceful and<br />

ever-watchful Mother <strong>Lakshmi</strong> illuminate our minds and<br />

our hearts for Divine success throughout our loves.<br />

Always at His feet<br />

“…. knowing that these are the children of<br />

MLVB makes me feel happy and proud”<br />

I am honoured to be a part of the <strong>Maha</strong> <strong>Lakshmi</strong> <strong>Vidya</strong><br />

<strong>Bhavan</strong> Mandir as it celebrates its 25th Anniversary.<br />

<strong>Maha</strong> <strong>Lakshmi</strong> <strong>Vidya</strong> <strong>Bhavan</strong> has grown tremendously<br />

over the years and has offered a lot not only to the local<br />

community but also organisations worldwide. I have<br />

attended Music, Hindi, Bhagavat Gita, Vedanta, and<br />

Yoga classes, which are some of the many opportunities<br />

given by MLVB. I have found them all truly gratifying<br />

experiences and have walked away each time feeling<br />

that I have learnt something worthwhile. I have also had<br />

the experience of attending fundraising concerts to help<br />

charities such as ‘Kid’s First Fund’ in Guyana.<br />

One of the very enjoyable experiences I feel that I have<br />

had at MLVB is the Summer Camp. Here, children<br />

(mostly) from the age of five take part in games,<br />

recitations of the Bhagavat Geeta, singing, playing<br />

instruments, yoga and other fun activities. The camp<br />

also goes on outings to places such as the ‘Hare Krishna<br />

Mandir’. I found this experience enjoyable with all the<br />

children having fun in an atmosphere where they were<br />

able to really learn and understand things and take<br />

home new abilities that they had learnt.
