Namaste and Jai shree Krishna
As we celebrate the 40th anniversary of the establishment of Shree Prajapati Association ( UK ), I am sure we will all be feeling proud of our heritage and what we have done to preserve it as much as we can . At the same time we may also be asking if there is any need for our future existence . You may say this is a negative thought , but I think it requires thoughts and steering it into something positive .
I vaguely remember the establishment of SPA ( UK ), as it was around the time I got married . My father in law , Shree Govindbhai Mistry was one of the founder members and I used to see SPA ( UK ) officers meetings at his house on a regular basis . But , I clearly remember the journey from that time to where we are today , as I have been part of the organisation for many years . I will say that in spite of all the difficulties and challenging requirements , we as an organisation have achieved a lot . You will read several articles in this copy of Sandesh on what each branch and many individuals have done to benefit our members and the wider society . As a registered charity we have undertaken many initiatives to support good causes . As I have said before , many similar organisations envy our achievements and we are seen as a leader on many fronts . I believe the main reasons for this success are our unity and passion to serve the community .
However , our journey should not end here . We must strive to find ways of filling the cracks that are appearing , which if not tackled will endanger our existence . I say this because , for whatever reasons , we have started to feel that the need to be part of SPA seem to be diminishing . Parents are not taking the trouble to bring and encourage children to take part in SPA activities ; therefore threatening the recruitment of young Prajapati members in good numbers to keep SPA going . There is going to be a finite amount of time for the current generation to continue performing . It may be that SPA is not providing what the new generation want . If that is the case we want to hear from both parents and young people on what the missing links are and how we can create a positive environment for our members to thrive in .
Member participation has been highlighted as the key issue that is concerning every branch of SPA . To address this , every branch has been requested to canvass their membership and find out how we can make improvements . I personally urge members to tell us why member participation is reducing and what you want SPA to do . If you find it easier to contact me , please drop me an email or call me .
I thank you all for your support to SPA over the past 40 years . I hope your undivided support will continue and wish you a Happy Deepawali and Nutan Varsha Abhinandan .
Jitubhai Mistry , President SPA ( UK )
