Our History
Bharatiya Mandir started as a dream in 1986 and finished as a reality in June 1993. When the houses sitting at the Mandir site were purchased, there were no funds on hand but with the moral and financial support of the devotees, and assistance from the National Bank of New Zealand, the committee was able to complete purchase of the properties at 252 and 254 Balmoral Road.
❝ ॐ सह नाववतु ।
Om, May God Protect us Both (the Teacher and the Student) (during the journey of awakening our Knowledge),
सह नौ भुनक्तु ।
May God Nourish us Both (with that spring of Knowledge which nourishes life when awakened),
सह वीर्यं करवावहै ।
May we Work Together with Energy and Vigour (cleansing ourselves with that flow of energy for the Knowledge to manifest),
तेजस्वि नावधीतमस्तु मा विद्विषावहै ।
May our Study be Enlightening (taking us towards the true Essence underlying everything),
and not giving rise to Hostility (by constricting the understanding of the Essence in a particular manifestation only),
ॐ शान्तिः शान्तिः शान्तिः ॥ ❞
Om, Peace, Peace, Peace
