Community group ‘Swadhyaya’ to donate blood as a gift to whanau this Christmas Wednesday, December 23, 2020 Rizwan Mohammad
More than 100 members of a community group, Swadhyaya, will come together in Auckland, Wellington and Christchurch on Thursday, December 24 to donate blood at NZ Blood branches, a unique gift for the community this Christmas.
Swadhyaya is a non-sectarian, non-denominational spiritual family inspired by Revered Pandurang Shastri Athavale and is inspired to conduct a blood donation drive by the name of
Twadartham (in Sanskrit and translated to ‘For the Divine) like its counterparts in the United States and the United Kingdom.
Hosted for the second time in New Zealand, this drive is one of many activities organised by Swadhyaya with the goal of expressing love and gratitude towards the Divine.
