This Center is a spiritual gathering point for devotees of Maa Gayatri and serves as a cultural and educational hub for the worship of The Divine Mother.
Historical Background
Maa Gayatri Worship in south africa, particularly in johannesburg, began with the arrival of indian settlers in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Over time, the devotees brought the sacred teachings and practices of The Divine Mother to the region.
The movement gained spiritual momentum in the 1970s and 1980s through the influence of organizations such as all world Gayatri pariwar. Local branches were formed, and the worship of Maa Gayatri expanded through regular Yajnas, Bhajans, and discourses on the teachings of The Divine Mother.
The Gayatri Peeth in johannesburg was founded to provide a permanent space for spiritual practices, including Maa Gayatri Mantra chanting, akhand deep (eternal flame), and Maa Gayatri Yajnas, which are performed in reverence to Her Infinite Grace.
