Youth volunteers of the Auckland based Yogi Divine Society have announced that they will deliver free food bags to the needy members of the community tomorrow, Sunday, September 26, 2021 at its West Auckland premises.
Youth Coordinator Nick Patel said that the Society will follow the norms of Alert Level 3 regulations including social distancing.
“This is not drive-in facility for everyone. Those in need of food parcels should register their names along with the Registration Number of their car. Each person will be notified of the time at which they can collect their food parcel,” he said.
Prior registration needed
Mr Patel said that while there is no guarantee that every person sending their registration details will be recipients tomorrow, the endeavour is to ensure that more than 500 food parcels are given away tomorrow, he said.
Those in need should send a text message to 020-4247365.
“Deliveries will be made at the complex of the Yogi Divine Society located at 15 Moselle Drive, Henderson in West Auckland. People driving into the complex must ensure that all passengers in their vehicle have proper face covering (masks). They must remain in the vehicle, open the boot of their car and wait for volunteers to drop their parcel. No one should get out of their vehicles while in our complex,” Mr Patel said.
About Yogi Divine Society

It works for the upliftment of all human beings, following the vision of spirituality of its Founder, who advocated ‘Atmiyata,’ described as spiritual harmony that ‘transcends stubbornness, resentment and sense of self.’
The Atmiya Youth Cultural Centre, inspired by Hariprasad Swamiji Maharaj (who passed away on July 26, 2021 aged 88), has adopted the following as its pillars: Unconditional Service (Seva), Rich Hindu Culture (Sanskruti), Spiritual Harmony (Atmiyata), Resolute Spiritual Faith (Nishtha), A Temple for generations to come, Practicing the principles of Indian heritage, Supporting young minds with career and life goals, A place to blossom inner Strengths and Happiness, A path of self-realisation through selfless services to humanity, Engaging in community enrichment programmes, Nurturing families through Spiritual Harmony (Atmiyata), Easy access for senior citizens, Teaching moral and spiritual values to youths and Classrooms for cultural learning (music, language, dance, yoga and other activities).
Swami Maharaj visited Auckland in February 2008 and 2012 (Indian Newslink, March 1, 2008 and 2012).
A multi-million dollar, multi-purpose Centre of the Yogi Divine Society is currently under construction in West Auckland. Indian Newslink will publish details of the Project shortly.
