LEICESTER, ENGLAND, July 3, 2002: Bhaarat Welfare Trust announces that “Atma Shanti Katha,” a special recitation of the Shrimad Bhagavat Purana by the renowned Pujya Sant Shri Rameshbhai Oza (Pujya Bhaishri) will be held from 12 till 21 July, 2002, at Rushey Mead Secondary School, Leicester. The Atma Shanti Katha aims to educate the Hindu public and the wider community of the various important samskaras (rites of passage) of the Hindu faith, especially the final funeral rite — the Anteem Samskar and to raise awareness of the Shanti Dham project. Shanti Dham proposes to built a crematorium that will cater for ceremonies according to the Hindu, Sikh and Jain faiths. “It will be the first of its kind in Europe,” says Mr. Kantibhai Unnadkat, Trustee of Bhaarat Welfare Trust, “The entire project will run on a non-profit making basis.” With an estimated cost of US$4.5 million, the project is due for completion by summer of 2004. Many other saints will be present at the Katha. For further information, please e-mail: “source” above or call Bhavit Mehta in UK at 07944 371610.
