In celebration of Mother’s Day, a unique workshop titled ‘Mother, The Super Hero’ was held in Melbourne, bringing together over 250 women and girls for a day of reflection, cultural celebration, and spiritual learning.

Organised by Divya Jyoti Jagrati Sansthan (DJJS) under its corporate wellness wing, the PEACE Program, the event was led by three Indian spiritual guides—Sadhvi Tapeshwari Bharti, Sadhvi Parma Bharti, and Sadhvi Shailasa Bharti—all disciples of DJJS founder Ashutosh Maharaj Ji.

Held at the Holiday Inn in Werribee, the all-women event featured a mix of music, mindfulness, cultural activities and inspirational talks, with dignitaries in attendance including Greater Bendigo Councillor Shivali Chatley, Wyndham City Councillors Susan McIntyre and Jasmine Hill, and representatives from various community and professional backgrounds.

The day opened with a soul-stirring musical presentation by Sadhvi Shailasa Bharti, who used Bollywood songs to highlight the pivotal role mothers play in shaping families and societies. One particularly moving song from the film Neerja spoke of a child’s emotional bond with their mother, setting the tone for the sessions that followed.

Sadhvi Parma Bharti then led a discussion on parenting, focusing on the delicate balance between discipline and empathy. The session also included an interactive activity in which participants created flatbreads in various shapes, judged by attending dignitaries for creativity and execution. A cultural segment followed with Garba and Dandiya dance performances, celebrating the many facets of motherhood.

Addressing the challenges of modern motherhood, Sadhvi Tapeshwari Bharti guided a session on Pran-Yog for Super Moms, demonstrating how breathing and yogic practices can help manage stress, improve emotional well-being, and restore mental clarity.

In a concluding address titled ‘Awakening Soulhood for Motherhood’, Sadhvi Tapeshwari Bharti emphasised the importance of inner spiritual awakening. “When the dual energies within—feminine and masculine—are harmonised through Brahm Gyan, a mother becomes a conscious guide for future generations,” she said.

Reflecting on the event, Greater Bendigo Councillor Shivali Chatley said, “A mother’s love is not just emotional—it is divine, nurturing and empowering. To all mothers and women here, you are the true embodiment of Durga’s spirit. My heartfelt gratitude to all volunteers for organising such a spiritually uplifting and well-coordinated event.”

The event was supported by a number of sponsors including Teesdale Family Medical Centre, Trinity Medical Group, Absolut Financial, and Urban Dream Real Estate, as well as community organisations such as Let’s Feed, Sahara Victorian Association, and Vedic Global.
