1. Guru Dharma Propagation (GDP) Chairperson: Mr Giridharan Vidhyadharan

Vice Chairs: 1. Mr Sanal Madhavan (East Ham)

2. Suresh Dharmarajan (Croydon)

3. Mr K Thankaraj (Southall)

Following the success of the GDP study group, we were able to continue the services of Swami Tanmaya from Narayana Gurukulam, Kerala, India, who has been regularly guiding us through our weekly classes (Sundays 8.30 am -10.00 am)conducted remotely via skype. We are much grateful to Swami Tanmaya for his continued support and guidance. The discussions were primarily based on ‘The Word of The Guru’, written by Sree Narayana Guru’s disciple Nataraja Guru. The group members subsequently presented some chapters at monthly prayer meetings. We have now started discussions on the chapters of the book, Autobiography of an Absolutist, which was written by Nataraja Guru about his own life. We thank Mr Subash Sadasivan and Mr Sanal Madhavan for their dedicated efforts in managing the orderly conduct of the above classes. The study group in association with Guruprabha presented a short play ‘Brotherhood’ as part of the Guru Jayanthi celebrations. The play was written and directed by Mrs Saleena Sadasivan, with guidance from Swami Tanmaya. The play was based on the 4th chapter, Brotherhood, of the ‘Word of the Guru’, book written by Nataraja Guru. The drama depicted the relationship within families and difference in views between generations and culture. The success of the play has been the product of hard work and dedication by everyone in the team especially Mr Subash Sadasivan. The cast included: Manoj Siva, Pravin Vijay, Satheesh Kumar, Geeja Srilal, Shalini Sajeev, Mallika Rajan and Subash Sadasivan. We greatly appreciate their dedication and hard work. We are also grateful for the generosity of main sponsor of the play, Mr Narendran Gangadharan and other sponsors. We also were blessed by Swami Jana Nanma of Santhigiri ashram who attended our prayer in November and inspired audience with his speech. We would like to thank Mr Sugesh Bhaskaran and Dr Ajish from Santhigiri UK, who helped arranging this. We have also embarked on planning a new project, Sree Sivagiri Sharada Devi Pooja, which is a special prayer meeting, to be conducted by Mr Pravin Vijay, under the guidance of Swami Tanmaya, to be held at the Mission centre (East Ham) once every three months, on the 3rd Sunday of the month, commencing Sunday 19th February 2017. The purpose of these quarterly prayer meetings is to provide spiritual satisfaction through prayer and meditation, thereby promoting mental well-being, and opportunities for young people to gain confidence and inspiration by displaying their artistic talents in music, dance and public speaking.

8. Finance Chair Person: Mr Sarasan V

Vice-Chair: Mr Binoye Pillai

FSC met once at the start of the current EC to draft a budget plan and prioritisation exercise. A draft budget, both income and expenses, was developed at the meeting highlighting the importance of efficiency savings wherever possible to improve surplus during the term of this current EC and beyond. Main area identified for such savings as Education. The following proposals were made; however we could not effectively action this, and look forward to support incoming EC to progress this. The main suggestions include: A guideline for team leaders as a start this year as some of the objectives may not be achievable this year but

could be achieved in the coming years.

Adopt efficiency savings mainly in areas which bring most of our revenue, e.g. Education and Membership.

The East ham Education surplus, excluding hall rent, was more than the overall in 2015 SNGM surplus. Going forward, further progress can be made through efficiency savings.

Membership and contribution collections require new push as this can bring in substantial income without which much needed maintenance, and capital item purchases would be difficult in the coming years.

Utility bills and other maintenance costs may be covered by hall rent received from Education and external sources. But other capital costs should be met by other sources of income, probably as contributions through standing orders from members and non-members.

It is important to conduct arts events and tours that can generate income.

Breakdown of figures for the year: Total expected income for the year was £114,650, and expenditure £85,150. Final accounts showed that only less than 5% reduction in income this year compared to the forecast amount. However our expenditure increased by 13% compared to the forecast.

Medium or large grants did not materialise manly due to the fact our previous final accounts show substantial funds in reserve. Following recommendations on best accounting and reporting practices, it has been agreed that the capital and operating budgets should be separated to show the real reserves. This will help us to show budget allocation for specific purposes, under restricted and unrestricted funds in our annual accounts. An army of volunteers gave up their time to support all our activities, to achieving the goals set out for this year. It wouldn't have been possible without their relentless support. This means voluntary hours’ (excluding any travel time spent) worth about £52K were contributed during 2016(refer the graph).



FSC also supported with the gift aid reclaim and we expect a reclaim worth £2600 from HMRC early next year. We would like to thank our ex -general secretary, Mr Vijayan Pattathil for his help. Mr Vijayan also helped us with managing the finances for the family funday as finance controller on behalf of all 3 organisations (SNGM of the UK, MAUK and KCA).

Total (estimated) Volunteer effort (days) - 231 Equivalent Contribution in Kind - £52,031

In the year 2016, youth leads repeated the success from the first youth festival. We thank Mr Girilal Sukumar (ex-Youth forum co-ordinator) and Ms Veena Vinodbabu (ex-youth lead) who were instrumental in getting this event a success. Youth group worked with the GDP team delivering some presentations about Guru’s teachings which helped young people to gain more knowledge about the Guru’s Universal principles. The youth group collected around £575 which was donated to Great Ormond Hospital. This was a great success. They also associated with the drama “Brotherhood” for the gurujayanthi celebrations. Ms Shivani and Ms Shalini Sajeev helped with anchoring Gurujayathi celebrations and sale of raffles tickets for Puttingal disaster fund raising. The Croydon group again associated with Day Lewis Pharmacy and brought in donations of around £1500 for the building project for Croydon. They also assisted the Xmas children’s’ party both in East Ham and Croydon. The children’s party as both centres was a great success.
