Dear Friends
This is our last “Week Ahead” for 2018. Thank you for your support this year. Before the festive season starts and we take a well-deserved break, Sri Sri Radha Radhanath Temple would like to thank you for your continued support throughout 2018.
At this time of the year, it’s also important to reflect on the devotional and service challenges and opportunities that shaped our journey in bhakti. If you’re travelling by road this festive season, please take it easy. We hope you have a spectacular festive break and that Sri Sri Radha Radhanath bless you and your family in 2019.
