Invitation to HH Shri Mataji
Dearest Holy Mother, Shri Mataji,
With hearts full of love and devotion, Your Australian children humbly invite You to bless us with Your Divine Presence at the National Navaratri Puja at Your home in Gidgegannup, Western Australia.
During these sacred days, may we gather as one Collective at Your Holy Lotus Feet and surrender ourselves completely to You.
Shri Mataji, please purify our hearts and grant us the courage, strength and fearlessness to stand for the Truth and carry forward Your tremendous work of human emancipation.
Please make us worthy of being Your true Instruments — humble, united and surrendered to Your Divine Will — so that we may spread Your Love, Peace and the light of Self-Realisation throughout the world.
With our deepest love and devotion, we offer ourselves at Your Holy Lotus Feet and worship You as Shri Durga Mata.
Your loving Australian children
and Western Australian Collective
Invitation to Yogis
Jai Shri Mataji
With joy and love the WA collective invites our dear Sahaj brothers and sisters to come together for the 2026 National Navaratri Puja at our Gidgegannup Ashram in Western Australia.
In meditative and joyful togetherness of music and song, it will be a weekend to express our generosity, culminating in the celebration of Navaratri Puja.
We welcome our brothers and sisters across Australia and beyond to take in some sunny days amongst the trees, to share their experiences and aspirations for realising Our Mother’s vision, and to help lift us together, as one family.
It will be a deepening of connection – a filling of hearts with only just joy, the joy of Our Mother.
See you all at Mother’s Gidge.
With all our love
The Western Australian Collective
