We acknowledge that we work on the traditional lands of the Kaurna people, the original custodians of the Adelaide Plains and surrounding areas. We pay our respects to their Elders past, present and emerging, and recognise their ongoing cultural and spiritual connection to this land. We commit to fostering genuine reconciliation between First Nations and non-Indigenous Australians.
We offer our deepest pranām to the illustrious Hindu forebears—Rishis, Munis, Siddhas, Āchāryas, Gurus, Sadhus, Sants, Warriors, Leaders, Farmers, Businessmen, Artisans, Kings, Queens, Men, and Women—who, through centuries of unremitting foreign incursions, stood as steadfast and unyielding sentinels of Dharma. With unwavering courage, they embraced sacrifice and martyrdom, confronted death with divine resolve, and rose in valiant defence of our civilisation, culture, and people in the darkest epochs of our history. It is through their indomitable spirit, steadfast devotion, and supreme sacrifices that the eternal flame of Hindu Dharma was kept alive—so that we, their descendants, may walk today with dignity, identity, pride, and purpose. With hearts full of reverence and gratitude, we bow before them in eternal remembrance.
