The highlight of the tour was encounters with  Sri Ganapathy Sachchidananda Swamiji, who was in  Australia to give 

a concert at the famed Sydney Opera House.

After the concert, Sri Swamiji was presented with his second Guinness Book of World Records Award-- this one for the largest Music Therapy session!  The concert had more than 1800 attendees participating in healing and meditation.

The TriYoga group included people from USA, 

India,  Russia, Germany, and Australia.

KALIJI's Australia trip included workshops at the Kewarra 

Beach Resort and a three-day retreat at Mission Beach,  where 

the Australian Rain Forest meets the Great Barrier Reef. TriYoga Teacher Dagmar Hirsch gathered students from her own community and beyond to join the fabulous flow of Yoga Asana, Pranayama, Mudra, along with chanting, meditation and jnana.

~ Message from Yogini Kaliji ~

  I have just returned from a wonderful visit to Australia and New Zealand. Little did I know in 1991 when I had three dreams in a week with Sri Swamiji, telling me to come to Australia, it would evolve into this. I had only met Sri Swamiji one year prior in Santa Cruz, CA on April 30, 1990. I had 

no further communication with Sri Swamiji until the series 

of trinity dreams emerged. Sure enough, I was being told

in  Sri Swamiji's magical way to join Him in Australia.

 It was my first time traveling to see Sri Swamiji. 

Swami Manasa Datta was the only one from the Mysore ashrama accompanying Sri Swamiji. 

While walking toward the beach, a few young guys 

yelled  out to us, "What is your religion?" I think they were 

laughing at the way we were dressed in yoga-type clothes. 

Sri Swamiji replied "Music."  

This was the perfect answer. 

They appeared to understand too. Their questions ceased. 

While walking along the beach, Sri Swamiji said,  

"There is a gift from Datta in the ocean."  Suddenly, 

Sri Swamiji flipped the coins out of the sand with His toes. Three of us received a coin! Each coin had a picture engraved of either Dattatreya, Lakshmi, or Ganapati. We chanted Datta Stava. We could feel strong energy present. From this beginning in Australia to the present day where, on April 6, 2015, a full hall witnessed Sri Swamiji perform at the Sydney Opera House is a great flow. I feel fortunate to have been part of it. Sri Swamiji was accompanied by master musicians. The musical genius Dr. L. Subramaniam 

played his unique violin sounds to Sri Swamiji's beautiful, healing melodies. The Celestial Message Troupe and other guest musicians demonstrated excellent musicianship.
