                      As with last year’s festival, this year’s National 
                      Dabra Utsav (picnic festival) was held in Milton Keynes 
                      on Sun 31 Aug 2003. Amidst the serene surroundings of Willen 
                      Lake, some 1,000 devotees from all over the country participated. 
                      The assembly commenced at 11a.m. Kishores narrated experiences 
                      of their recent Satsang Trip in India whilst youths and 
                      seniors shared touching incidents of Yogiji Maharaj and 
                      Pramukh Swami Maharaj that they had been a witness to. Jaydeep 
                      Swadia’s bhajans were enjoyed by all. Pujya Atmaswarup 
                      Swami and the sadhus also shared their experiences.
                    Following the two-hour satsang 
                      assembly, everyone had an opportunity to meet their fellow-devotees 
                      whilst partaking snacks and lunch. The younger participants 
                      took to sports and various other leisure activities, which 
                      included volleyball, cricket, tug-of-war, football and kite-flying. 
                      It was truly a day for the family with the weather remaining 
                      just perfect for the event.
