Who we are
Our story
From two families singing bhajans at home to a Sangh of families across Queensland, now building a Haveli.
Since 2001
Twenty-five years of satsang
In 2001, two families began meeting at home to sing bhajans and do satsang. The same year, Pujya JJ Shri made his first visit to Brisbane and the swaroop of Shreenathji was established, with kirtan, mahaprasad and many devoted Vaishnavs.
In July 2011, under his guidance, the Vaishnav Sangh of Queensland was formally established, with one shared place of worship and regular satsang. Every utsav is celebrated with decoration, music and mahaprasad, and the Nand Mahotsav and Annakut bring the whole community together.
Today we are a registered charity run entirely by volunteers, with no government funding. Our Youth Wing brings bhajans and presentations in English, and our children learn Pushtimarg in free monthly classes.

What guides us
Rooted in Pushtimarg
Our Sangh has grown under the aagya and ashirvad of Pujya Vaishnavacharya Dr. Shri Dwarkeshlalji Mahodayshri (Kadi–Ahmedabad), seventeenth descendant of Shri Vallabhacharyaji Mahaprabhuji.
As part of the Vaishnav Sangh of Queensland, we pledge to uphold the principles of Pushtimarg and strive to embody the teachings of Shri Mahaprabhuji in our daily lives. May our faith and devotion to Shri Thakorji guide us towards spiritual fulfilment and eternal bliss.
Our purpose
What we work towards
