Dear Yogis,
Jai Shri Mataji!

Not sure which roster group you’re in? Check here.
Before you attend…
- All yogis (including children) intending to attend the Puja must pre-register using the blue link below.
- Please arrive early to allow ample time to register at the desk and settle down for Puja (this is in addition to pre-registering online).
When you arrive at Balmoral…
- Visit the registration desk upon entering to ensure that we have you listed for the event (this is a government requirement). This applies even if you have pre-registered online;
- You will be asked some screening questions to determine if you are able to attend the Puja. Those who have been to any of the locations during the time and date indicated on the NSW Government list of hotspots should NOT attend;
- Get your temperature checked at the registration desk (contactless). Anyone who is displaying any symptoms or has a temperature over 37.5°C by law cannot be permitted to enter and will be asked to go home, along with their family members;
- Clean your hands with hand sanitiser provided at the registration desk;
- Always maintain social distancing of 1.5 metres.
Please note…
- The Government is now allowing 300 yogis to attend the Puja, however the hall can accommodate 150 yogis only according to the social distancing rule. Once the 150 spots (marked by “X”) inside the hall are filled, yogis will need to sit outside on the grass areas adjacent to the ladies area and at the rear of the hall.
- The Balmoral Remediation Project is ongoing and there are aspects of our property that remain a building site and will be cordoned off for our safety. It is recommended that children be under adult supervision at all times.
- It is important for all yogis attending Diwali Puja to become familiar with the requirements for taking part in this COVID Safe event by going through the safety guidelines here.
We really do appreciate the efforts of all yogis in keeping everyone safe. Please contact us at [email protected] if you have any questions or concerns.
We hope you all enjoy a wonderful Diwali Puja in Balmoral!
With Love,
NSW Councillors
