हमारे बारे मेंAbout Us

A foundation for faith, arts & community

वसुधैव कुटुम्बकम् — the world is one family

Many families who move to a new country want the same rituals they grew up with, performed properly, without searching for a pandit every single time. That's what this Foundation exists to make simple.

Our Purpose

Faith, arts and community, together

We give Melbourne devotees a trusted, consistent way to arrange Satyanarayan Katha, Sunderkand Path, Hanuman Chalisa and other ceremonies at home — conducted properly, in a language every generation of the family can follow.

Alongside religious services, the Foundation runs arts and cultural programs that bring the wider Melbourne community together throughout the year — festivals, community evenings and cultural celebrations open to all.

Our promise

No one is turned away from a ceremony for financial reasons. We're a registered not-for-profit, and every ceremony runs on a voluntary contribution rather than a fixed fee.

Mantras & Blessings

Words we return to often

A few of the mantras that shape how we approach this work.

ॐ शान्तिः शान्तिः शान्तिः "Peace in body, peace in mind, peace in spirit" — recited to close almost every ceremony we perform.
सर्वे भवन्तु सुखिनः सर्वे सन्तु निरामयाः "May all beings be happy, may all be free from illness" — a wish extended well beyond our own community.
वसुधैव कुटुम्बकम् "The world is one family" — why our cultural programs are open to devotees of every background.
