To find for ourselves, live, and bring to others a Lighter Life, being guided by the Light of our Guru, Mata Yogananda Mahasaya Dharma.
The Dharma Room
The Dharma Room serves as a Meditation room as well as our venue for healing, counselling and various courses, with a regular weekly opportunity to meditate together on Sundays starting from 9:45 am.
We begin these Meditate Together times by playing a recording of an Inspiring Talk by our beloved Guru, Mata Yogananda Mahasaya Dharma. Winged Prayer asking for help for all in need, is sent out at 11am. You are welcome to stay for all or any part of this time, just leaving quietly as you go.
Some Important changes to Meditation time for November 2025:
Sunday November 9 and 16. The starting time is changed to the evening at 7pm.
Sunday November 23 We return to the regular 9:45am start but on this date only, we will finish with Winged Prayer being sent at 10:30am
Spiritual gatherings and celebrations are held at the Dharma Room on Easter Sunday, Christmas Day, Mata Yoganandaji’s Mahasamadhi and Birthday, and on the Matariki public holiday.
