| Honouring Divine Balance | Empowering Youth | Serving Community
At Shiva Shakti Mandir (SSM), located in Johannesburg South, we embody the vibrant harmony of Shiva—symbolizing conscious stillness—and Shakti—representing dynamic, creative energy.
Officially rededicated in January 2023, our Mandir thrives on South Africa’s cherished principle of ubuntu, embracing the idea that "I am because we are."
Our temple is more than a spiritual sanctuary; it’s a vibrant hub for worship, learning, community service (seva), and youth-driven innovation.
Our Vision
