Thank You, our beloved, Divine Mother Shri Adi Shakti
for blessing us with the opportunity to welcome and host you
in Cape Town, South Africa on the auspicious occasion and
celebration of Diwali Puja 2024.

 

We, Your children humbly invite Thee, our Holy Mother Shri Mataji,

to the continent of Shri Nirmala Vidya, where You manifested from the

Ocean as Shri Mahalaxmi.

We desire that the divine light brought forth during this celebration, will expel the darkness,

and that the true knowledge reaches all four corners of the earth.

It is with great honour that the Sahaja Yogis of South Africa, African Countries, France, Switzerland, Portugal & Mother Persia (Iran), invite all our brothers and sisters from around the world to join us in celebrating the auspicious and joyful occasion of International Diwali Puja in South Africa.

Cape Town, known as the Mother City, is a jewel at the tip of the African continent and a canvas of rich history, vibrant cultures and breath-taking landscapes. Table Mountain, ‘Seventh wonder of the World’ and powerful Shri Ganesha Swayambhu, stands as a majestic backdrop to the city, and offers panoramic views that stretch over the city and beyond into the horizon.  The magnificent Table Mountain Nature Reserve, which covers the entire Peninsula, offers unspoiled shores and pristine beaches, awe-inspiring vistas along one of the World’s most beautiful coastal roads, and culminates in the remarkable spectacle of Cape Point and Cape of Good Hope. 

Beautiful vibrations spread to the warm azure waters of Langebaan Lagoon, 120 km north of Cape Town. Truly a coastal paradise. Here Shri Mahalaxmi came from the sea  and stepped onto the land, where 110,000-year-old Eve’s footprints, imprinted into an ancient rock, were discovered.

 

Once a year, the Cape wild flowers, one of the natural wonders of the world, reveal their different shapes and vibrant colours after the winter rains, and it was here that, when Shri Mahalaxmi emerged from the sea and looked onto fields and fields of daisies,

She took “Daisy” as one of Her Divine Names.

 

South Africa, a world in one, awaits you in the Mother City.

Jai Shri Mataji
