Puja survey results
Thank you for participating in the survey for Puja day/time in Balmoral. The survey was sent to 500 email addresses in the NSW/ACT collective, and 269 responses were received. The majority (over 40%) of the respondents indicated their preference for Pujas to start at 2pm on Saturday. Please refer to the attached chart below for the breakdown of survey responses.
Following the collective consensus, future Pujas in Balmoral will be held on Saturdays at 2 pm, unless notified otherwise. We endeavour to start Pujas on time at 2pm collectively so that all yogis, especially those in the dismantle and wash-up groups, will be able to make their trip home at a decent time. Thank you for all your feedback.

“And the Mahalakshmi power is that it really makes you the light. You have now become the light.”
Diwali Puja, Lakshmi Principle – Bramham Gardens, London 27th October 1981
“So, once that is little bit established and you feel that peace within yourself and that dignity, then the Mahalakshmi’s power starts acting on you. And the Mahalakshmi power is that it really makes you the light. You have now become the light. Don’t have to have any lights. You are the light. When you go anywhere, when people see you they take guidance from you. They use you as a torch which guides them. They will come and consult you and ask you how to do it. It is you who are the light.
So, this is what it is. One has to know that Mahalakshmi tattwa is represented here as the light. And, you see these lights when enlightened, even a small light, how it reacts and how it shows. And now, you have become the light, you see. Even this light can do it. You see, I put My hand to it and it recognises and knows that because it is now enlightened. It is put before the Photograph, it’s enlightened. It works that way. Now what about you? You are the light now; you are the Diwali of God.”
