Change of President

The president of a Triratna Community Centre is a senior Order member who acts as a 'Wise Friend' to the community. 

For many years Cittapala has been Guhyaloka's President and his knowledge of the history and development of Guhyaloka has been invaluable - but for the last several years he has felt that as he lived in the UK it was time to hand onto someone with a closer regular connection.  Fortunately Moksananda who has lived in Valenica for over twenty years, visits Guhyaloka regularly, has lived in the valley himself, and is a senior and experienced Order member wanted to take on a new responsibility - so a new president was available. 

In late January a simple ceremony was held to pass on the responsibility from Cittapala to Moksananda.  The Guhyaloka community and council expressed their gratitude for all the work that Cittapala has done for Guhyaloka over a long time and were also pleased to welcome Moksananda as our new president with confidence that he will be able to contribute considerable to the development of Guhyaloka. Moksananda recieved the Guhyaloka Rock to remind him of the natural beauty of Guhyaloka and the firm foundation upon which our community is based.   We hope that his responsibility will not be as heavy as the Rock!
