What's On: Free Peace Concert
We warmly invite you, your families and friends to join us for an evening of enchanting and deeply peaceful music on this Friday evening, November 4th at 7pm.
The ‘Concert of Inner Peace’ Australia and New Zealand concert tour will feature Eastern, Western, classical and contemporary music by the popular Czech musicians 'Agnikana and Friends' (www.agnikanasgroup.cz/en/).
The singers and musicians, who are travelling from the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Austria and Switzerland, constantly draw praise for their captivating manner, powerful presence and the spiritual depth and purity so evident to all who attend their performances.
The group specialises in the compositions of Sri Chinmoy (1931-2007), a musical and spiritual luminary whose 23,000 compositions, offered globally in over 700 Peace Concerts, have profoundly influenced many contemporary musicians and established him as one the most prodigious composers in history.
‘Sri Chinmoy’s sublime spiritual mastery reveals through music the infinite vastness of the universe as an intimate sanctuary of the soul’ Free Spirit Magazine wrote.
“He has such a tremendous and fantastic creative urge!” India’s greatest sitarist, Ravi Shankar commented.
“Sri Chinmoy’s music is a vehicle for the highest spiritual energy. It is very healing, an experience very deep within my heart and far beyond words” maestro flutist Paul Horn said.
The free concert will be in the Fickling Convention Centre 546 Mount Albert Road Auckland on Friday evening, November 4th at 7pm.
Please come along for a night of enjoyment. We would love to see you there. If you would like to attend kindly call or text Jogyata 022 188 7432 or by obtaining tickets from

Some Choice News!
DOC is rolling out a new tool to help figure out what to tackle first when it comes to protecting our threatened species and the things putting them at risk.
Why does this matter? As Nikki Macdonald from The Post points out, we’re a country with around 4,400 threatened species. With limited time and funding, conservation has always meant making tough calls about what gets attention first.
For the first time, DOC has put real numbers around what it would take to do everything needed to properly safeguard our unique natural environment. The new BioInvest tool shows the scale of the challenge: 310,177 actions across 28,007 sites.
Now that we can see the full picture, it brings the big question into focus: how much do we, as Kiwis, truly value protecting nature — and what are we prepared to invest to make it happen?
We hope this brings a smile!
