Temple President Srutidharma das was one of those selected to personally greet Narendra Modi and David Cameron at the much publicised Wembley Stadium event, where 60,000 people welcomed the Indian Prime Minister to the UK.
The Indian Prime Minister told Srutidharma das that he fondly recalled his visit to Bhaktivedanta Manor’s Janmashtami festival in 2005 and congratulated ISKCON on its 50thAnniversary.
During the Wembley event, children of the Krishna Avanti School and other schools recited the national anthems of both India and the UK, and also got to meet both Prime Ministers.
Later, at a function organized by the Indian High Commissioner, Srutidharma das, Gauri das and Vinay Tanna were amongst the special guests. There Gauri das presented Modi with a box of Mangala-aratisweets.
