Week Ahead 20-26 November 2025

Dear Friends

Temple Garden Upgrade
After thoughtful consideration of both the aesthetics and functionality of the temple’s left-hand garden area, we have begun carefully levelling the space to create a cleaner, safer, and more practical environment for various temple initiatives. We are pleased to assure you that the garden’s aerial appearance will remain unchanged, preserving the spirit and beauty of the original design. The signature grass “lotus petal” shapes will stay exactly where they are, but levelled and refreshed with new, high-quality grass to enhance their look and durability.

Bhakti Theatre presents
Radha Dāsya
Saturday • 10 January 2026 • 4pm

Venue: Milkwood Theatre, Durban North
In Radha Dāsya, the everyday hustle of devotional service meets the timeless rhythm of Vrindavan. From enthusiastic seva to divine surprises, the play reveals how devotion in this world mirrors the devotion of Śrī Rādhā’s own realm — sometimes chaotic, always beautiful, and ultimately transformative.
Tickets are R80 and will be available via Webtickets or Pick ‘n Pay stores soon.
