Namaste to All,
Subho Janmasthami,
I came across this very interesting project which I am honored to share with you all. A Hindu devotee from West Africa, Ekatma Dasa who is widely travelled in Africa was raising money to make his long cherished Tirtha to Bharat and take part in Dharmic courses. He is a Biologist by profession and is widely travelled in West Africa. He is interested to go back to Africa and start a Hindu Empowerment project in Africa through material education and promotion of Dharma.
Ekatma needs $2500 to fund his trip. For flight, around 750 british pounds or $960 will be required. A very generous soul and entrepreneur from London , Jayendra Lakhani Bhai almost single handedly raised more than half of the required funds for flight. He started a crowd funding which has been shared widely.

I am adding both Jayendra Bhai and Ekatma Bhai
Western Africa is getting back to its indigenous roots through Hindu Sanatana Dharma. For Hindus, who believe in Vasudaiva Kutumbam (The whole world is one family), there cannot be a more happier moment seeing our brothers and sisters from Africa coming back to Dharma. Any help to promote Dharma in West Africa will be precious. Having started it, the entire community in West Africa will be looking at this project. Even small help for this cause will make a very big difference.
As Krishna Said:
Chapter 9: TEXT 26
patram puspam phalam toyam
yo me bhaktya prayacchati
tad aham bhakty-upahrtam
asnami prayatatmanah
TRANSLATION
If one offers Me with love and devotion a leaf, a flower, fruit and water, I will accept it.
Let your contribution be a offer of devotion to Krishna, however small will help enormously.
Jai Sri Krishna
