Invitation to Sahaja Yogis
The Victorian collective is looking forward once again to welcoming yogis from around Australia, and beyond, to celebrate the National Diwali Puja. We will perform Puja on Saturday evening to enable as many interstate yogis as possible to attend with an entertainment program on Friday evening, a Havan on Saturday morning and lots of opportunity to experience the wonderful natural surroundings.
All the information you need about attending this Auspicious event is below.
We look forward to hosting lots of our brothers and sisters and sharing a wonderful weekend together.
With love, The Victorian Collective
Invitation to Shri Mataji
Dear Holy Mother,
On this occasion of Diwali Puja 2023, the Victorian Collective humbly requests Our Divine Mother, Her Holiness Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi to allow us the immense privilege to perform Puja to You in Your Divine form of Shri Maha Lakshmi.
May Your primordial Lakshmi power grant us the wealth of pure knowledge, the welfare and prosperity of the world and the power of evolution for our spiritual ascent.
Jai Shri Mataji!

“I bless you all from my heart, all of you, for a very happy and prosperous Diwali.”
“This is the promise of Diwali to you all, that you will reach highest and the noblest way of life. Every word I say will be there to prove what I say is there. Whatever petty problems you have, they’ll all be washed off. All these are the messages from the Divine, you don’t have to worry about petty things, about money, about jobs, that’s not your job. Your destiny will work it out. You have a promise that you’ll be looked after. I hope you believe in that promise and are joyous in the highest way. I bless you all from my heart, all of you, for a very happy and prosperous Diwali.”
