Season’s Greetings and Gratitude Message – Chair VCSEA

Season’s Greetings and Gratitude Message -Chair VCSEA

 As we are drawing close to saying goodbye to the year 2021, I wanted to take this opportunity to personally thank everyone on behalf of The Vedic Cultural Society of East Anglia (VCSEA) board of Trustees and Executive members for your continuous donations and support for the Hindu temple.
  This year has been somewhat like the last, bringing challenges of a different kind. Although we had the opportunity to celebrate few events like Diwali face to face, COVID-19 is again looming over us in different variant forms and calling for stricter measures including booster vaccination and social distancing.

 Among many other online events we have well attended regular weekly prayer sessions every Tuesday with second year of continuity.  Humble prayers to all families who have lost their dear ones in this last year and wishing peace and strength to all. 
 We are holding online ‘Bhajan Sandhaya’ on 01 January from 5 pm. 
Invites to be shared in separate email with details

 To end the year on a happy note sharing with immense gratitude, to The Lady Phillipa Dannat, the HM Lord Lieutenant of Norfolk for awarding us a wonderful Covid Commemorative Plaque in relation to work in the coronavirus pandemic for the Hindu community.  
  Hopefully we will arrange to receive it once the Temple is re-opened in the New Year.
 
 Look forward to meeting you all. Ending with lines from Awakening with Sunrise
 “Awakening with Sunrise”
 Inspiring us to be hopeful, strong, and bold
 These times of test will not stay forever
 United we will emerge being stronger
 Each zestful sunrise and elegant sunset
 Forward Life’s journey for the promises to be kept !!”

 Let’s stay strong despite the huge challenges.

 Wishing everyone a very happy, safe, and blessed New Year!
 Best Regards
