"MHA PUJA (Nhu daya 1120) Celebration in Sydney" On saturday 20th November 1999, Guthi Australia celebrated their annual "Mha Puja Day" at 20 Brookfield Road, Werrington Down with the biggest gathering of all its members and their invited guests. All the members present in Sydney that day were all there and we even managed to have a small brief meeting amidst all the various schedules taking place. Surendra the present "guthi nayo" proposed to handover his "thakali" role to Puran Sayemi, but was postponed untill June next year for the "Siti Nakha" ceremony. We also managed to fit in a presentation ceremony to celebrate the birth of Yuva and Madhavi's daughter Priya in the presence of Madhavi's parent. All the happenings and events can be seen on the photographs below: I will be updating with more photos as I get them from various members who send them to me as well as a new newsletter which Surendra is preparing.
