Perform Bhakti with Purity This Navratri

As we embrace the divine energy of Navratri, we invite you to join us for an afternoon filled with devotion and celebration. Engage in the vibrant traditions of garba and bhakti, allowing your spirit to be uplifted and purified through sincere worship.

What is Navratri?

Navratri is a beloved Hindu festival that honors the Goddess in her various forms, including Amba Maa, Saraswati Devi, Lakshmi Devi, Ma Durga, and Ma Kali. This festival is a vibrant celebration of power and purity, where devotees come together to express their devotion through prayers, dance, and song.

During Navratri, we focus on performing garba and singing aarti and stuti with the purest of intentions. This practice not only brings worldly peace but also fosters a deeper spiritual connection with Mataji. By immersing ourselves in this divine worship, we can remove our inner impurities and invite Mataji’s grace into our lives.

Why Participate?

When we engage in garba and bhakti with genuine sincerity, we experience a profound sense of inner peace and spiritual upliftment. Our inherent traits (prakruti) align more closely with our true nature, allowing us to overcome worldly obstacles and move closer to liberation (moksha).

A Message from Param Pujya Dada Bhagwan

Param Pujya Dada Bhagwan, the revered founder of Akram Vignan, emphasizes that worshipping Mataji brings peace and aids in the natural development of our prakruti. As we perform garba, our bodies and minds enter a state of natural spontaneity, removing impurities and making space for divine knowledge.

Celebrate With Us

This year, let's renew our commitment to performing bhakti with the utmost sincerity. Join us at Ferndale House for an afternoon of joyful worship and garba, as we honor Mataji and seek her blessings to continue on our path to spiritual liberation.

Event Details:

• Date: Sunday, 13 October

• Time: 3:30 PM – 6:00 PM

• Location: Ferndale House, 830 New North Road, Mount Albert, Auckland 1025, New Zealand

Bring your devotion, your energy, and your love as we come together to celebrate this auspicious occasion. Let’s honor Mataji, and make this Navratri a memorable and spiritually enriching experience for all.

Happy Navratri!

Join us for a profound and transformative celebration of Janmashtami as we honor the birth of Lord Krishna and seek to vanquish our inner demons.

Date: Sunday, 25th August 2024
Time: 3:30 PM to 6:00 PM
Location: Ferndale House, 830 New North Road, Mount Albert, Auckland 1025

Janmashtami is more than just a celebration; it is a time for personal reflection and spiritual growth. As we commemorate Lord Krishna, the symbol of righteousness, we also strive to overcome our inner adversaries—anger, pride, deceit, and greed. These are the true enemies that hinder our peace and happiness.

On this auspicious day, we invite you to partake in a transformative Gnan Vidhi Ceremony, guided by the esteemed Pujyashree Deepakbhai. This powerful and enlightening ceremony will help you discover the answers to profound questions: "Who am I?" and "Who is the doer?" Through this grace, we can unlock the key to inner peace and progress on the path to ultimate bliss.

Come and strengthen your intention to transcend the darkness of ignorance and embrace the light of knowledge.

We look forward to celebrating with you and embarking on this spiritual journey together.

This Rakshabandhan, let's elevate our celebration beyond traditional bonds. Join us on Sunday, 18 August 2024, from 4 PM to 6 PM at the Wesley Community Centre, Timohina Room (740 Sandringham Road Extension, Mt Roskill), for a unique and profound experience.

Rakshabandhan is a time to renew our sacred bond with our siblings, marked by the tying of a rakhi. This year, let’s also embrace the ultimate protection by tying a rakhi to Lord Simandhar Swami, the living Tirthankar. This act symbolizes not just protection in this life but a sacred bond that guides us towards liberation.

With the blessings of Dada Bhagwan, the founder of Akram Vignan, and Pujya Niruma, let us seek their divine protection and guidance. Together, we will create a bond that transcends this life, paving the way towards eternal peace and liberation.

Join us in this spiritual celebration and secure the ultimate protection.
