The event was held with support from the Department of Premier and Cabinet, Government of Victoria. The program brought Victoria’s Hindu communities together to celebrate, preserve and share tradition in a meaningful way, fostered cross-cultural awareness, understanding and respect, and showcased the vibrancy and contribution of the region’s multiculturalism.
On being asked about her favourite quotes from Lord Krishna, she shares a few, hoping to inspire readers:
“Perform your duty without becoming attached to the fruits of the work”
“Control the mind and the senses”
“You reap what you sow”
“Karma is a gift that brings you lessons for your soul’s personal growth and will continue to bring these lessons back around until you have learnt them.”
“Hell has three gates: lust, greed and anger”
“Man is made by his belief. As he believes, so he is”
