Week Ahead 9 -15 December





Dear Friends,

With school closing and people taking their annual leave, you now have the freedom to decide how to spend your time. We encourage you to come to the temple, join the harinam, or distribute books. To join a book distribution team please contact Pyari Mohan 083 602 6008 or Rukmini 084 579 1080.

If you already have plans and do not have the time for the above, then you can still render devotion by sponsoring books: 
IsiZulu books are on special for only R5 each over the marathon. Please contact Pyari Mohan 083 602 6008 or ypbeesham@gmail.com Pyari Mohan is shooting for the rhino by aiming to get at least ten thousand books sponsored.
Sri Sri Radha Radhanath Temple has joined the Nelson Mandela Day Literacy Project Book Drive. Please see attached poster for details.
Another option would be to place a Smart Box in your local shopping area. This is an effortless way to facilitate book distribution. Contact Ananta Gauranga Das 082 783 3599
