Indian Independence Day celebrations in Carseldine Park by IndoAustralian Seniors Creative Sanatan Sanstha Pty Ltd
IndoAustralian Seniors Creative Sanatan Sanstha Pty Ltd is a Not for Profit
Sanstha (Corporate) that provides Seniors various opportunities for socialising and cultural enhancement. Our members include seniors who are Australian citizens or PR holders.
Once a week, we have a get together in Carsaldine Park, during which the members showcase their talents in music, poetry and singing, share recipes for adapting traditional foods using vegetables that are available in Australia, participate in yoga and meditation for physical and mental well-being, and sharing ideas on how to pass on their traditional knowledge and values with their grandchildren. We also organise cultural programs for Sanatan religious festivals.
We have organised picnics and sightseeing trips to various Australian heritage sites of importance. This helps Seniors appreciate Australia and adapt to the Australian lifestyle while maintaining their Hindu culture.
One of our future programs is to build a Golden Age Carer’s housing facilities for Seniors with special dietary requirements such as vegetarianism and Vaishnav diets. This will also help, to some extent, Queensland and Federal Governments’ in meeting the shortages in housing for Seniors.
On 15 August, we all celebrated Indian Independence Day celebrations and chanted Bharat Mata ki Jai.
