It was in 1971 that the Oshwals invited Gurudev Chitrabhanuji to perform Paryushana in Kenya, East Africa. Then in 1980, at Chitrabhanuji's suggestion and with his message of world peace and the need to build solidarity in the larger family of mankind, the idea of a Community Center in London was conceived. A spacious and verdant plot of 80 acres was purchased and a Community Centre developed. It is now teeming with activities, providing a place for educational activities, for welfare events, for meeting and mingling, for meditation and peace.

Now in April 2004 during a nine-day festival, thousands of people participated. Pramodaji Chitrabhanu gave lectures on Navapada Aradhana, and Gurudev Chitrabhanuji delivered inspiring talks on various subjects. And during this festival the Oshwal Association of UK announced the start of a magnificent Temple of Mahavir Swami, to be built at the Oshwal Centre with the blessings of Pujya Shri Chitrabhanuji, and inaugurated
it with the laying of the foundation stone. This Temple is the beginning for a variety of new and additional Community Activities: young people's socials, educational and spiritual events, meditation, ecologically maintained gardens, attracting people from all walks of life.
