Formed in 2018, Saranagathi NZ had invited many scholars from India including Vellukudi Sri Krishnan Swami to deliver discourses on Hindu religious matters. During the COVID-19 pandemic period, we invited local spiritual speakers like Dr Rabindranath to Continue our services in enlightening the local Hindu community in their spiritual path.

These are free events, and all are welcome to listen, enjoy, and learn more about our rich Hindu culture and ethics. On Friday, 1 March (6.30 pm) he will deliver his talk on one of the four Puruṣārthas – Dharma. He intends to cover what are the rules/codes of conduct of Dharma and the predicaments that we face in our day-to-day life in observing such Dharmic obligations.

On Saturday, 2nd March (2 pm) he will be taking us to the event – Coronation of Lord Sri Rama – Sri Rama Pattabhishekam.
