Devotees of Shirdi Saibaba will have an opportunity to participate in a daylong festival, paying obeisance to Baba, their God, Idol and Guru (as He is viewed by people of all faiths) on July 25, the actual day of Guru Purnima.
The Festival will be held at the Mahatma Gandhi Centre (145, Great North Road) in Auckland’s Mt Eden Terrace from 630 am.
‘Kakad Aaarti, ‘Abhishekam,’ Vishnu Sahasranamam,’ Guru Pooja, ‘Pravarchana’ (a skit) and other items will form a part of the 14-hour programme.
Sansthan Secretary Bhaskar Reddy Duvvuru said the organisation will celebrate ‘Guru Purnima’ this year on the actual day of its occurrence according to the Hindu calendar, namely the Full Moon day during the month of Ashad (July-August).
“Our members, devotees and their guests have always made the event one of great piety and satisfaction. With our Temple Project gathering new dimension, such events will evince wider interest of the community,” he said.
