BAPS Charities is collecting funds to support the victims of Nepal earthquake victims. Prayers were held at BAPS Shri Swaminarayan Mandir in Neasden on Saturday evening in the presence of senior sadhus, including Pujya Ishwarcharan Swami who is currently visiting the UK from India.

His Holiness Pramukh Swami Maharaj has also offered his prayers and condolences on behalf of BAPS Swaminarayan Sanstha to the families of all those who have been killed or injured in the earthquake. He has prayed for those displaced or affected, including the thousands rendered homeless by this disaster. He said: “May we all remain strong and united in the face of this calamity and overcome it by helping each other.”

The Mandir in London is urging communities to lend support to the rescue and relief mission by donating via the BAPS Charities website at www.bapscharities.org/uk/nepalearthquake .

Yogesh Patel, volunteer for BAPS Charities, added: “The people of Nepal have suffered unimaginable trauma due to this disaster. At times like this, it’s more important than ever for people to come together and help those less fortunate – which is why we are urging those who can to donate funds via this trusted source to support rescue missions, and help the area and those affected to rebuild their lives.”
