Last Friday and Saturday we were able to celebrate the third anniversary of Somaskanda Ashram in sunny autumn weather. Many old and new friends made their way up the mountain to join in. We were most delighted to welcome Brahmarishi Mohanji as our guest of honour. The two priests from the temple “Sri Kalpaga Vinayakar Devasthaanam” in Port Talbot, Wales, GB, were most warmly welcome and led the Swamis from Skanda Vale and everyone present through many most amazing havans and pujas. Take a look at some of the images taken.
