For the uninitiated, Sydney is often just the Opera House and the Harbour Bridge. But for the 50+ families of Swadhyay Parivar here, Sydney is also the land where they teach their children to touch their elders’ feet, where the Vedas echo through suburban living rooms, and where a Maharashtrian Thali connects a taxi driver in Bankstown to an IT professional in Macquarie Park.

नमस्कार Sydney Swadhyayis,

We are the – a small family with a big heart, gathering regularly to practice Vyaktitva Vikas , study the Geeta , and live the values of Krutadnyata (gratitude) and Abhay (fearlessness).

From the shores of Mumbai to the banks of the Parramatta River, the essence of Swadhyay remains unchanged. 🇮🇳➡️🇦🇺

The biggest challenge here is keeping the Sanskars alive. The "Sydney Bal-Gruha" meets every second Sunday. Kids learn to chant Suktas and also learn the life of Shastriji.
