Our approach
Seva before fees.
The Foundation exists to keep devotional traditions within reach of every family. We therefore do not set a fixed ceremony price. Families may contribute voluntarily according to their circumstances.
That keeps the conversation focused where it belongs: the ceremony, the family and the tradition being carried forward.
सर्वे भवन्तु सुखिनः सर्वे सन्तु निरामयाः

हमारे बारे में · About Us
Faith, arts and community — together.
Vishwa Shanti Arts and Cultural Foundation Inc was established to make Hindu devotional traditions easier to access for families in Melbourne, while also supporting arts and cultural programs that bring the wider community together.
We want the organisation to feel personal enough that families can simply call us, but structured enough that they know who they are dealing with and what to expect.
Community firstNo family is turned away because of what they can afford.
Tradition explainedHindi and Sanskrit, with English explanations where useful.
