A large number of devotees of Shirdi Saibaba participated in the Guru Poornima Festival conducted by the Shirdi Saibaba Temple of NZ Inc at the Mahatma Gandhi Centre in Auckland’s Mt Eden on June 30.

A visiting Pundit from India conducted the prayers, which included ‘Satyanarayana Pooja,’ an obeisance to Lord Satyanarayana, a form of Lord Vishnu and four Aartis.
