South Australia: November 2020

Multifaith Association of South Australia

The Multifaith Association of South Australia lists interfaith events, climate events and faith festivals happening both locally in South Australia, and nationally, with internet participation – for the month of November 2020.


Deepavali 2020

Deepavali is observed by Hindus on Saturday 14 November. (It is also a 3 day festival, and for some, longer.)

The Hindu Council of Australia advises that due COVID 19, the plan this year is different to the regular program. They are looking at celebrating more by engaging the community online. Social Media, Webinars, Newsletters and Live telecast over online channels will be the main focus. The Hindu Council of Australia has successfully managed some BIG programs like International Yoga Day, Sri Krishna Janmashtami, Webinars and Online live events. This engagement with community over online has been successful.

There are member organisations affiliated who further have individuals associated with them, this is not limited to India but Hindus across the world who live in Australia. There is a physical celebration planned in major shopping centres, local councils, schools and parliaments via display of art, presentations about culture, broachers and information and display of video and performance (if permitted) without NO gatherings. The same will be telecast online.

Theme: Connecting Conversations Across Culture, Creed, Traditions

Let’s talk about the new Australia!  Who is my neighbour and how do our beliefs and spiritual practices connect or differ from one another?  You are invited to be part of a group exploring different faiths and meet others who have had very similar or different faith-traditions from you?  We are aiming together to encourage friendship across creed, culture and tradition; an opportunity to participate in building new communities; and a chance to share questions and discoveries (in a safe space) as we reflect on our own tradition /transition?

Please RSVP via email to let Liellie know by 22 November  (Sunday): liellie@ozemail.com.au
