Founded in 2019, The Sydney Manidweepam Organisation (SMO) is an ACNC registered not-for-profit organisation based in Sydney, Australia. At SMO, we believe that you are the connoisseur of your own spirituality. We embrace diversity as a strength - as an opportunity to encourage the spirit of harmony across individuals and communities, through recognising that there are countless distinct ways to celebrate joy, creativity, love and most importantly, you.
Hence, we do not intend to create a new denomination for worship. Rather, in keeping with the unique vision that all sincere seekers have the right to practice and learn about spirituality, we're on a mission to foster a universal and expansive outlook towards the multiplicity of creation by enhancing and supporting the previously established spiritual outlook of individuals through the celebration of the feminine divine. That is, the philosophy and practice of Śri Vidya as taught by GuruJi Amritananda, as well as Sri Sathya Sai Baba's five universal human values (Truth, Right Conduct, Peace, Love and Non-Violence).
Armed with the aim of nurturing an equal society free of domination from bondage and aggression, the teachings and rituals we practice are intended to educate, empower and enrich both, women and men as well as LGBTIQ+ individuals. This includes a focus on cultivating a healthy relationship with nature and the environment, which is respectful and reverent of all life - including yours.

"I nourish my negatives, such as fears, lust, anger, greed, possessiveness, pride, jealousy and hatred by containing them, not expressing them. I transform them into fearlessness, love, calm, sharing, letting go, humility, fun and regard respectively by not lending my awareness or thinking to them." |
OUr Happiness Principle
Here at SMO, our core guiding principle is happiness. There is no compulsion or force for seekers to participate in rituals - your spirituality is decided by you - we are simply here to guide, support and share in your smiles and laughter. We are accessible to all and upon joining SMO seekers should feel as if they have come home regardless of faith, gender, caste or creed.
