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

Poll: Should complete designs be shared with the public, or should the community help shape the designs from the start?
The Post recently shared an opinion piece on the Harbour Crossing and why a more democratic approach might be needed 🚗🚲👟
While most decisions sit within the political arena, many organisations—like NZTA—manage long-term projects that go beyond party lines. Politics can sometimes disrupt progress, and the next Harbour Crossing is a big decision that will affect all Aucklanders.
We’d love your thoughts: Should near-complete, shovel-ready designs be shared with the public, or should the community have a hand in shaping the designs from the start?
-
80.4% Community feedback and transparency is needed.
-
19.6% No. This would be impossible in practice.
Poll: Should the government levy industries that contribute to financial hardship?
As reported in the Post, there’s a $30 million funding gap in financial mentoring. This has led to services closing and mentors stepping in unpaid just to keep helping people in need 🪙💰🪙
One proposed solution? Small levies on industries that profit from financial hardship — like banks, casinos, and similar companies.
So we want to hear what you think:
Should the government ask these industries to contribute?
-
59.3% Yes, supporting people is important!
-
26.2% No, individuals should take responsibility
-
14.5% ... It is complicated
