From Editor:

Leicester is oozing with enthusiasm. Solidarity is in the air. Everyone seemed eager to participate. Members are happily donating to the Samaj funds. What a turn around !!

 

It reminds me of the former glories of our Samaj when pioneering founders of PPA like Late Mohanbhai Nathoobhai, Late Govindji Madhavjibhai and many others who worked tirelessly for our community and united our Samaj in UK.

 

Such unity is essential – It is the breadth, strength and unity that can reinvigorate progress.

 

The new team behind PPA - Leicester has been hard at work and is now proud of their achievements. Their turn around has become a success story that will make us all PPPs – Proud Parjiya Pattnis.

 

Our Pattni Connection media can play an successful role to build up unity in our community. This facility is always at their disposal to serve our Samaj members.

Just imagine when all ladies will turn out in their best Gharcholas, when108 artis will be lit and all lights switched off, what a divine atmosphere it will create !! Hope you all have good fun and also sing the Glory of Maa Jagdambee – Ambe Maa

The committee has taken plenty of photos and video footage. All these will be uploaded on our website soon. I am sure members around the world will be eager to see these photos.


Jai Ambe
