Sok Sabha The First Nepalese Sok Sabha in the UK
PPG UK in coordination with Sagarmatha Times organised Sok Sabha on 26th August 2006 to commemorate ex-founder executive member Late J.B Tondon and great supporter Late Laxman Thapa.
This is the first time that a Sok Sabha was organised in the UK by a Nepalese community organisation. Around 60 people attended the event which was being held at London Buddhist Vihara in Chiswick in a leafy area of London.
Newly elected President, Mr Arjun Pradhan welcomed everybody present and thanked all for participating in the event. Mr Pradhan then handed over to Miss Seeta Tondon (daughter of Late J.B Tondon) for the brief introduction of Late J B Tondon.
Mr Madan Thapa (brother of Late Laxman Thapa) also gave a brief introduction of Late Laxman Thapa which was then followed by the Hindu Talk from Mr Chirinjibi Dhakal and Dharma Desana from Bhante Sujan.
Spiritual process Punnanumodana (transmitting merits to departed ones) was also carried out by Bhante Sujan.
Sok Sabha ended with the vote of thanks from Manisha Dongol Shrestha, General Secretary, PPG UK. General Secretary thanked the management of London Buddhist Vihara for providing the venue, Mr Manhanta Bahadur Shrestha and Mr Achyut Shrestha, Montys’ Group for providing financial support and mouth watering Kheer, Bhante Sujan, Purohit Chirinjibi Dhakal for gracing the event and all supporters who took out their valuable time and participated in the event.
