How it all started
On 4th of December 2010, a handful of spiritually inclined, religiously inspired individuals had come together to join hands with the Founder & Priest, Manikanta Sarma Garu, to perform monthly EKAADASA RUDRA ABHISHEKAM according to the SANAATHANA DHARMA principles in order to please Lord Shiva and gain His blessings for their personal and community benefit.
Since then this spiritual group has strengthened month after month and has outgrown everyone’s expectations and transformed itself into its present form, SRI SIVAJYOTHI TEMPLE LTD.
SSJT is formally incorporated as a Non-Profitable Charity Organization on 7th August 2014 in order to meet the growing needs of wider Hindu Community in Sydney, Australia and perform rituals according to the SANAATHANA DHARMA principles.
