Invitation
to “SHRI RAMNAVMI
FESTIVAL”- Friday
12th & Saturday 13th April 2019
Om Sai Ram,
Dear
Devotees,
"Tasteful
dishes lose their taste, if there is no company of friends and relatives to
partake the dishes with us; but when they join us, the dishes acquire
additional flavour. The same is the case with the Sai Leelamrit - the nectar in
the form of Sai's Leelas. This nectar we cannot partake alone. Para 1st of Chapter 49 of Shri
Sai Satcharitra (English).
SHITAL cordially invites you to join us in celebrating 'Shri Ramnavami festival 2019' at Wembley, Leicester & Reading. We try and adhere as closely as possible to the schedule for
