On the night of 5th January 2018, the congregation relished the divine atmosphere and sublimed themselves in the euphonious tunes from Bhakti Sangeet nite. During this event, Marc Gross & Shawn Roberts; founders of the MARA ELEPHANT PROJECT TRUST, graced the event by honoring Acharya Swamishree Maharaj with a memento marking His 20th visit to Mara River Lodge.

The next day, Acharya Swamishree Maharaj along with Sants visited the Head offices of the MARA ELEPHANT PROJECT TRUST where Acharya Swamishree Maharaj blessed the members of this trust who contribute towards the commendable cause to save the wildlife and toured around their offices and blessed the whole team of rangers protecting the wildlife through the Trust. Thereafter, Marc Gross & Shawn Roberts took Acharya Swamishree Maharaj on a ride in their helicopter where the serene Serengeti plains and the wildlife residing in it were blessed by His divine presence.

Pleased with the work these two gentlemen do, Acharya Swamishree Maharaj gave a handsome donation to this Trust and encouraged them to carry on with their good deeds to save and protect the Lords’ creations.
