More than 250 people came together to celebrate Guru Poornima at the Melton Community Hall, hosted by the Melbourne branch of Divya Jyoti Jagrati Sansthan (DJJS). The event brought together devotees, volunteers, and local community leaders for a spiritually uplifting day.
Guru Poornima is a special occasion that honours the Guru, the spiritual teacher who guides seekers from darkness to light. Under the guidance of His Holiness Divya Guru Shri Ashutosh Maharaj Ji, DJJS continues to spread the message of self-realisation through Brahm Gyan, or divine knowledge.
The program began at 11:00 AM with peaceful and devotional bhajans on on Sunday, 13 July 2025. This set the mood for a powerful Satsang Pravachan (spiritual discourse), where speakers spoke about the importance of the Guru in a person’s spiritual journey.
The various speakers explained that true spiritual growth begins with Pratyaksh Darshan—a direct inner experience of God—made possible through the teachings of a realised Guru.
Sacred texts and real-life experiences were shared to show that “God can be seen” through the inner eye opened by Brahm Gyan, which is practically imparted by Divya Guru Shri Ashutosh Maharaj Ji.
One of the highlights of the event was a collective Divine Aarti, where everyone joined in expressing gratitude and devotion. The celebration ended with a Langar, a free vegetarian meal prepared and served by volunteers, which promoted unity, equality, and service.
Thanking the volunteers, devotees, and community members whose support made the celebration a grand success, DJJS Melbourne offcicials said the event offered a message of spiritual awakening, harmony, and collective joy.
DJJS is a global socio-spiritual organisation headquartered in New Delhi, India, with over 350 branches worldwide. It promotes inner awakening and social harmony through Brahm Gyan (divine knowledge). For over 15 years, DJJS Melbourne has been part of Australia’s multicultural community, fostering unity and service.
