Bhaktivedanta Manor and its huge community has always been a haven for the arts and indeed many types of service.
Drama in particular has been an important features of so many festivals and other special occasions, bringing devotional themes to life in fun and educational ways.
Baroness Scott, Minister for Faith at the House of Lords, honoured the faith leaders who participated in the Coronation of King Charles with a Coronation medal commemorating the event.
Although the Manor is very famous for the festivals, not all are aware that many sadhus (holy people) reside in the temple. It is the association with saintly devotees that makes the holy place special, and pilgrimage to the temple complete.
Over the course of the coming months, the stable block at Bhaktivedanta Manor is undergoing a redevelopment to improve the resident facilities upstairs, as well as revamp the current gift shop and create a new eatery and spiritual bookshop on the ground floor.
For the first time in UK, the thematic commentary by Madhvacharya (13th century AD) will be used to dive deep into the Mahabharata.
Revd Dr Richard Sudworth OBE and Angeline Leung, senior representatives of the Church of England, were given a warm welcome at Bhaktivedanta Manor
