Swami Sarvatmananda Ma recently visited Fiji to conduct the Kriya Yoga initiation program on 24-26 August. Six people were initiated into first Kriya and some existing disciples also had the opportunity to be initiated into second Kriya.

The Indian community warmly received Swami Sarvatmananda. She had the opportunity to interact with many locals and to attend the "Rakshabandhan" festival. "Rakshabandhan" or simply "Rakhi" is a Hindu festival centred around the tying of a thread or ornamental bracelet on the right wrist as a form of bond and ritual protection between brother and sister. It's celebrated on the full moon day in the lunar month of August. During her stay, Swamiji also met with the Indian High Commissioner to Fiji in a friendly gathering.
