Jai Shree Krishna to all Prajapati Members
“ we have been encouraged this year , with new members joining the main Samaj team and our AGM saw some of our younger generations join as well .”
The last few years have been a challenging time for the Samaj , with a decline in participation in core activities . However , we have been encouraged this year , with new members joining the main Samaj team and our AGM saw some of our younger generations join as well .
Our main activity on a day to day basis is to run our Mandir . Our thanks go to the Mandir committee who perform daily Puja , Arti and Nityaniyam in the morning and evening . Our Mahila have continued to play a huge role in the Samaj throughout the year and have taken responsibility for catering at major events and continuing to bring thaal on a daily basis .
