Mr Sunak and his family have made visits to the temple in the past. Today, Mr and Mrs Sunak were welcomed with the customary tradition of the blowing of a conch shell, and they were garlanded before they toured the Temple, which was donated by George Harrison of the Beatles. The couple were greeted by Her Grace Visakha Dasi, the temple president, who said \u201cWe invite everyone to experience the hospitality of Bhaktivedanta Manor and the spiritual oasis it offers all our guests\u201d<\/p>\n<p>On August 19th and 21st, the Bhaktivedanta Manor  will host the largest celebration of this kind outside India to celebrate the advent of Lord Krishna, culminating with a concert with George Harrison tribute band.<\/p>\n<p>This event will include an ancient forest walk and the re-creation of the beautiful \u2018Vrindavan forests\u2019 where Krishna played as a young boy. But most visitors come to experience the peace offered by the 78 acres of the Manor\u2019s gardens, lake and shrine. Children are delighted by the Manor\u2019s unique playground.<\/p>\n<p>Mr Sunak addressed some of the 1,200 volunteers who will be helping at the festival. Kaushik Patel, one of the volunteers, comments: \u201cI come to serve the thousands of pilgrims with my whole family including my 86 year old mother.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Mr Sunak said \u201cIt\u2019s been a tough campaign, but during the most difficult times I\u2019ve been given the teachings of the Gita, and it\u2019s been the Gita that\u2019s given me the strength to keep fighting for the things I believe in\u201d<\/p>\n<p>His visit culminated in feeding the cows. The Manor has 65 Meuse Rhine Issel cows at what\u2019s been described as the \u2018Hilton\u2019 of dairy farms, which promotes the lifelong welfare of cows and bulls as well as compassionate farming techniques.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/plugins\/post.php?href=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.facebook.com%2Fbhaktivedantamanor%2Fposts%2Fpfbid0WSHGdU1RVGsZDqiazcWTCECGb2hLgBv5qgRuL6FU4T5nBoKwk6dPUAbmt6NpezJwl&#038;show_text=true&#038;width=500\" width=\"500\" height=\"870\" style=\"border:none;overflow:hidden\" scrolling=\"no\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" allow=\"autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; picture-in-picture; web-share\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><img src= \"https:\/\/i.imgur.com\/xkSKxVX.jpeg\" width=\"100%\" \/>Rishi Sunak and his wife celebrated the festival of Janmashtami at Bhaktivedanta Manor in Hertfordshire, near London.
