Hindu talk

 

Due to popular demand, a talk on Hinduism, entitled ‘Hinduism – a purpose driven life’ (organised by the University of Nottingham Hindu Society) is being repeated to enable more people to attend.

The first night’s talk, given by the Sadhus of the BAPS Swaminarayan Sanstha, will be held on Wednesday 12th March at 7pm and will be open to students and staff from Nottingham’s universities, colleges and secondary schools.

All other members of the public are welcome to attend the second night’s talk, given by the same Sadhus, on Thursday 13th March at the Swaminarayan Temple at 8pm, including dinner, which will be served between 7pm-8pm.

The temple’s address is 102 Palm Street, New Basford, Nottingham.
