The Sunday Bhandara program commenced some 5 years ago with two main objectives:
- Provision of once a week Satsangh for members and devotees.
- Giving members and devotees an opportunity to sponsor food, which fortunately, many are eager to do so. This obviously serves the dual purpose of meeting the wishes of devotees and also becomes a revenue source for our Mandir.
The current sponsorship rate is $550. This covers the following:
- Cooking facilities such as gas, utensils, pots etc
- Main chef for cooking;
- Ingredients for Rice, Dhal, one Vegetable Curry, Halwa Prasad and Salad.
- Puri will only be provided if sponsors assist in cooking the same.
- As the number of devotees that participate in the Bhandara cannot be predicted, provision is normally made for 150 devotees plus those personally invited by the sponsor.
Sponsors are expected to help in cooking, serving, cleaning and tidying up at the end of the programme.
