Today was the third day of Derawasi Paryushan. 

The morning talk on Kalpsutra Vachan at the Kenton Derasar was on the 14 dreams of Trishlamata. Today Vinubhai covered the first three dreams (sapnas) in detail viz elephant, Ox, and lion. Tomorrow he will talk about the remaining dreams. There was samuh chaitya vandan and arti/mangal divo after the talk.

Around 300 people attended pratikraman/ Bhavna . The attendance was affected by early start and today being a week day. Again, the musicians from India (Ashishbhai of Ahmedabad) were very impressive. Today they sang especially composed devotional songs. Today's Bhavna was sponsored by Mrs Usha Surendra Mehta. You can sponsor each day's Bhavna for £51.

Today's Pakhhi Pratikraman was sponsored by Surendra & Usha Mehta (£401) and his family and friends started the pratikraman with Navkar mantra. You can sponsor a pratikraman for £401 (last day £501).  PLEASE NOTE THAT TOMORROW'S PRATIKRAMAN WILL STATRT AT THE ADVERTISED TIME OF 6:30 PM.

Today's Arti was taken by Vadilal Mehta & Family c/o Dilipbhai Mehta (£451) and the Mangal Divo was taken by Mrs Ashaben Ashok Vora (£801). Ashishbhai sang both the arti and mangal divo in different tunes that was very much enjoyed by all.
