SENIORS SAMELAN

2nd

Seniors Samelan

‘ So called priest ’ carried out a marriage ceremony

- “ whilst audience sang lagna geets !”

Namaste and Jai Shree Krishna
The Second Seniors Samelan was hosted jointly by Birmingham and Walsall on 1st June 2014 . We are so pleased this event is now rising in popularity and is well attended by our senior members from all our branches . Even more so , the seniors are full of smiles and eagerness , making the overall atmosphere on the day joyful and full of laughter . The programme began with prayers , arti and Swagat Geet . A unique announcement then followed involving the past SPA ( UK ) post holders as a mark of honour . They were presented with certificates , and the couples who had celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary ( or more ) were presented with flowers - what an achievement . The compere , Taraben , explained how weddings were performed in the olden days in UK when there was hardship and only a few in numbers . It brought back forgotten memories from those years . This was also illustrated with a small play where a ‘ so called priest ’ carried out a marriage ceremony , and the audience participation was encouraged by singing lagna geets for the couple on the stage . The hall was filled with laughter and song as everybody joined in . Delicious lunch soon followed . With restricted facilities at the Mandir and a large number of attendees , generous time was allocated so that everyone enjoyed a relaxing lunch and could chat
with fellow members . The afternoon treat consisted of live music ; classic songs that everyone sang along to . Natubhai Tailor took his place on the stage and truly entertained the audience , recalling past events and putting his spin on it . The day ended with the raffle draw and it was left for the Committee to say a big thank you to Walsall branch and Birmingham branch for their sincere hospitality . Both branches were focused on this event and they worked very well together . Hopefully , going forward , we will see more interaction between all the branches . Events such as these are our way of providing sewa to all our members . Long may we continue to provide true sewa from our heart .
