The backbone of the GHS is the blessings of the many saints of India who visited the UK and particularly Preston. They were received with lots of respect and their discourses attracted thousands of devotees to come to the temple. During the redevelopment of the new centre, we were blessed by the presence of our very learned saint Pujya Krishna Shankar Shastri, who performed the foundation stone laying ceremony. Alongside were equally blessed by the presence of Swami Vishnu Puri and Swami Sachidanandji. We cannot forget our inspirer Pujya Shri Rambhaktji. • Oct 1996 SANKALP VIDHI (taking the vow) by the Executive Committee. • Aug 1997 Foundation stone laying ceremony by Pujya Krishna Shankar Shastry and Dr. L.M. Singhvi, former High Commissioner of India.
