🌸 The Divine Family in Action: Bhakti Marga Sangha Across India 🌸

One of the sweetest things to witness is how devotees are coming together, sharing love, and growing spiritually within their communities. This month has been a testament to the power of devotion and connection, with so many inspiring events happening across India!

From Swamini Vishwamohini visiting the Varanasi sangha, to Rishika Abhirami in Bengaluru, to large, heartfelt gatherings in Mumbai, (and more!) our sangha is truly alive with love and devotion. 🙏✨

The most beautiful part? Many devotees have shared that the sangha feels like family. And that’s exactly what we are – a spiritual family, connected through the love and Grace of our Satguru, Paramahamsa Vishwananda. ❤️

🫶 Paramahamsa Vishwananda wrote about Sangha in one of His tweets:

"Only in sangha one can get true support when it comes to society, community or others. It is a place of many spiritual gifts and space where true growth happen. So the need to be with others fulfill in the company of people who are on the same path and have the same vision of the goal of life. Their opinions become valuable feedback to you, but also true support. Sangha is the place which prepare you to be free and to enjoy being alone. And in this case being alone means being with God and Satguru."

💕Your thoughts and ideas are always welcome! Let’s co-create even more beautiful experiences and opportunities for connection. 💖

The Mumbai Sangha hosted a beautiful celebration last week which featured a blessed puja to Simhachalam Narasimhadev, Kirtan and Satsang. It is so special when Simhachalam visits any city, because His energy and blessings are so powerful. Everyone had the chance to pour water during the abhishekam as well as sing kirtan and the Narasimha Kavacam. Everyone shared that they felt the Divine love of Gurudev throughout the entire event. The puja was followed by a heart touching and thought provoking satsang from Rishika Abhirami. One of the final highlights was receiving Narasimhadev's blessings when Rishika Abhirami put Him on each person's head.

Stay tuned to where Simhalachalam Narasimhadev travels to next!
(Hint: there is a Bengaluru event coming up!)

We are heartedly inviting you for a program with Rishika Abhirami in Mumbai on the 12th of December. The program will include puja for Simhachalam Narasimha Dev, Deity manifested by Guruji, Satsang and kirtan. Rishika Abhirami will be happy to answer your questions and share her experiences and knowledge of the path of Bhakti with Paramahamsa Vishwananda.

Pandharpur with Guruji Day 2
(December 5th)

On this day, an incredible abhishekam on Sri Vitthala and Sri Rukmini of Takpithe Vitthal Mandir was performed alongside Paramahamsa Vishwananda's personal murtis. For over 2 hours, Paramahamsa Vishwananda conducted the puja personally while devotees sang kirtan and meditated on Vitthala's form.

Devotees gathered later at Vishnupad, where the footsteps of Lord Krishna are located, partially submerged in the middle of the river. Sometimes the temple is entirely submerged in water. Nearby is a second pair of footprints of Lord Krishna, where He stood to protect Saint Janabai from being hanged to death under accusation of stealing Vitthala's jewelry. Paramahamasa Vishwananda gave a wonderful satsang about Saint Janabai and Her unique relationship with Vitthala.

Guruji's tweet about Saint Janabai: "Janabai wrote hundreds of Abhangas, singing of her endless association with Vitthal. He would grind grain with her, and the grinding wheel which He personally used to help her is still worshiped in Gopalpur, near Pandharpur today. One can have Darshan of the handprints made by Bhagavan and His dear bhakta on the grinding wheel made of hard stone. But the most incredible part of Janabai’s Bhakti was her boundless desire to serve her SatGuru because it was through Him that she had received closeness with Vitthal."

In the evening, there was a legendary Kirtan in the main Rukmini Vitthala temple of Pandharpur. Paramahamsa Vishwananda poured His sweetness into each Bhajan. His voice along with the chorus of devotees rang through the temple and everyone’s hearts. After Kirtan, everyone took Pad Darshan of Lord Vitthala, having the Grace to touch His Lotus Feet.

Happy Kartik Purnima from Shree Giridhari Dham in Vrindavan - the land where the eternal Ras is happening.

Paramahamsa Vishwananda on Twitter:

"Kartik Purnima celebrates every aspect of Paramatma, Prem, and all the ways to reach Him. The SatGuru shows each of these in the divine right time, one simply needs true Sharanagati.
In Vraj, Kartik Purnima is the day that Radha-Krishna are celebrated with dance and song, to invite the Divine Raas into the heart. Oil lamps are lit and bhaktas gather around this enormous collection of lamps to immerse themselves into the Prem of Bhagavan. The central lamp is Sri Krishna Himself and the surrounding lamps are all the atmas in the universe. All surrounds Him alone and everyone is equidistant from Him."

Happy Tulsi Vivah from Shree Giridhar Dham Vrindavan

Excerpt of Gurudev’s tweet on X - 13 November 2024:

‘Blessings to all on Tulsi Vivah, the day of union between the atma and Paramatma. On Tulsi Vivah, we celebrate the extraordinary Bhakti and Prem between Tulsi Vrinda Devi, and Sri Krishna Shaligram Bhagavan. When Bhagavan turned into a stone to remain at the roots of Bhakti. When the bhakta turned into a small plant to forever offer everything to Bhagavan’s Lotus Feet… We have heard the version of the story of Vrinda Devi when she was deeply hurt by the treachery of Shreeman Narayan and cursed Him, when He came in the form of her husband and tricked her. But that version of the story is so different from the truth, and the reality is so extraordinary. Where there is true Bhakti and Prem, where there is only the SatGuru and His love, such limited things like deceiving and cursing are only a foolish understanding of the outside. The events that people perceive are always limited, no matter how advanced or elevated one seems to be. Only the SatGuru is beyond all limitations… The sweetness of true Bhakti is humility, acceptance, respect, and gratitude for everything as a gift from Bhagavan directly. Don’t let your pride and ego take you away from the truth of Bhakti for even a single moment. Stay in the gentle warmth of His love and there you will receive everything. Let the SatGuru’s help bring you to His reality of unconditional love which is the sweetness of Amrit. Many blessings to everyone.’

Celebrate Gopashtami with us! On the morning of November 9th, we will have morning prayers followed by Gau Mata cow puja next door.

On this auspicious day in Kartik Month, young Sri Krishna went through the rite of passage to become a cowherd. It was the first time that young Sri Krishna and Sri Balaram were sent by Nanda Maharaj to herd the cows in Vrindavan. We honor this day by expressing devotion and honor to the cows that Sri Krishna loves so much.

Govardhan Puja evening celebrations in Vrindavan

Paramahamsa Vishwananda:
“The lifting of the Govardhan Parvat is such a beautiful Leela. It gave Sri Krishna His extraordinary name, Giridhari, the one who lifts the mountain on His little finger. One aspect of the story many people know. That Sri Krishna lifted the mountain to break the pride of Indra and protect the residents of Vraj from the incessant rains. But there are hidden aspects that are not so well known. When Sri Krishna was about to take birth in Vraj, Srimati Radharani was also preparing everything, all that would be needed for the Leelas of Bhagavan. But She couldn’t bear to leave Goloka Vrindavan, Sri Yamuma Maharani, and Sri Govardhan Parvat behind.”

Happy Diwali!

Join us in the ashram tonight for Lakshmi Puja, Satsang, and Kirtan! We will light the temple both literally with oil lamps as well as figuratively through our loving expression to Krishna.

"On the evening of Deepavali, Pujas and celebrations invite Maha Lakshmi into everyone’s home and place of work. After She emerged from the Milky Ocean on the day of Dhanteras, Her subsequent marriage with Bhagavan and Her unconditional love as the Mother of the Universe is celebrated on Deepavali. The bestower of all riches but most importantly the bestower of the ultimate wealth, Prem. On this Diwali, light the inner lamp of Bhakti and Prem so strongly that no wind and rain can extinguish it. Let the Akash Deepam of your life carry you upwards to attain the Lotus Feet of the SatGuru and find ultimate bliss. Many blessings to all."

CHAPPAN BHOG – AN ANCIENT TRADITION

Since Lord Krishna did not eat a single meal during the entire 7 days while He was lifting Govardhan, the citizens of Vraj wanted to offer Him all the food He missed out on. Lord Krishna used to have 8 meals per day so 8 meals x 7 days = 56 dishes! It is an ancient tradition since that time to offer Krishna 56 dishes, called Chappan Bhog, especially on the auspicious day of Govardhan Puja.

Happy Dhanteras to all!

Join us in the ashram tonight and the next nights for Choti Diwali (Oct 30) and Diwali (Nov 1) in the ashram for Lakshmi Puja, Yagna, Satsang, and Kirtan! We will light the temple both literally with oil lamps as well as figuratively through our loving expression to Krishna.

“Dhanteras or Dhantrayodashi is the great celebration of the emergence of Maha Lakshmi and Dhanvantari from the Milky Ocean.
The churning of the Milky Ocean is a Leela that has great significance for those who wish to sincerely walk the spiritual path. It represents the great battle one must fight against one’s bad qualities that are hidden within, the inner asuras and demons. However, never forget that the devas or the good qualities only win because of the direct intervention and will of Bhagavan. One’s efforts are crucial, nothing can work without them. Because it is through one’s sincere and continuous efforts that one shows Bhagavan the deep desire to reach His Lotus Feet. Then He joyfully manifests Himself in one’s life, as the SatGuru comes to collect back to Himself every jeeva that is longing for Him.“

WHAT IS CHAPPAN BHOG?

Why is it customary to offer 56 different dishes of prasad to Lord Krishna? What does the 56 signify? The tradition comes from the Govardhan Leela, during which Sri Krishna skipped 56 meals. As a symbol of gratitude and deep reverence for His protection, devotees offer 56 dishes during major festivals.

At Shree Giridhar Dham, where Giridhari is holding up Govardhan hill on His little pinky, Govardhan Puja is our main festival. We want to offer the best prasad to Him on this auspicious day. Everyone is welcome to participate.

Happy Sharad Purnima and Beginning of Kartik Month!

"Sharad Purnima is also the Raas Purnima. The Maha Raas of Bhagavan Sri Krishna is eternal. It has ever existed and will ever exist. It is not bound to one time or place. Wherever and whenever one sincerely longs for and is devoted to Sri Krishna’s Lotus Feet, He manifests His elixir-like presence there."

“Kartik is a time – this month is a reminder of why we are here. We all know that we are here to attain the Love of God, to attain His Grace, to attain Him, to be one with Him, to be one near Him. But how do we attain that? To attain God, God doesn’t want anything from anybody outside. God has created the whole universe freely for everyone to enjoy. Do you think He needs anything from anyone? No, He doesn’t need anything from anyone. But we need it. We need Him. And the reminder of that is the love which He has put inside of our hearts. And this is the only thing that can link us humans to Him, nothing else. All what we do is an act of loving Him. All the prayers that we do is so that the love inside of our hearts for Him grows so that His Grace can manifest inside of our heart. So this love relationship which we have with Him, that’s what we are celebrating.”

CELEBRATE GOVARDHAN PUJA!
November 2nd
7am-1pm
6-8pm

Govardhan Puja is the biggest festival of the year in Shree Giridhar Dham, where our Beloved Giridhariji is holding up Govardhan and protecting us all! This holy day of Govardhan Puja commemorates the divine act where Lord Krishna, in an extraordinary display of strength and compassion, lifted the Govardhan mountain to protect the inhabitants of Vraj from the wrathful Indra's deluge. This special leela is the reason Krishna received the name of Giridhari, signifying "one who lifts the mountain."

Happy Shirdi Sai Maha Samadhi!

Shirdi Sai is an incredible saint who holds a special place in the heart of our Gurudev, Paramahamsa Vishwananda. He was the first saint to appear to Him when He was a child and since then, Guruji has expressed deep reverence and affection for Shirdi Sai. Every year, on October 15th, Guruji celebrates by performing Abhishekam on Shirdi Sai’s Murti and singing bhajans dedicated to Him.

In Vrindavan, we will also be celebrating by performing a puja to his relic and praising him in bhajans and Satsang.
If you are in the area, please join us for prayers!

Navaratri & Dussehra 2024 Highlights
Celebrations at Shree Giridhar Dham, Vrindavan

The Divine Mother blessed us all for an incredibly powerful and transformative 10 days. We transformed our Beloved Yamunaji each night into each form of the Navadurga and Giridhari stood next to Her, as a reminder of our goal and what She has come to help us achieve. Guruji tirelessly shared deep wisdom and insights of each day, showing us how to go deep within and transform ourselves. As we say goodbye to Maa during this time, we carry with us the lessons we have learned deep within our hearts.

"What have you learned? What are you taking with you moving forward? Have the lessons and experiences at the Feet of the SatGuru gone deep inside your heart? Or, have you just had some fun and the moment that Navaratri comes to a close, your eyes will also close and turn away from the goal? That is the most important question. Have you realized what the goal is?"
- Paramahamsa Vishwananda

Happy Dussehra!
Celebrations at Shree Giridhari Dham

Parmahamsa Vishwananda wrote:

“VijayaDashami, Dussehra, the day of celebrating the victory of good over evil in endless ways.
On this beautiful day, we glorify the incarnation of AdiShakti JagadAmba Ma emerging victorious from Her long war against all the demons. The victory of Sri Ramchandra and the Vanar army over the demon king Ravan and his evil minded followers. The day when the Pandava prince Arjun retrieved his Gandiva bow from the hollow of the Shami tree where they had hidden their weapons. And then in his form as Brihannala defeated the whole Kaurava army single-handedly....
Such an extraordinary day full of blessings. To retain so much grace, what is needed? Humility and sincerity. With humility one never forgets one’s place. Each one is a small particle of dust at the SatGuru’s Lotus Feet. This is the state and nature of all jeevas. And with sincerity one keeps making one’s effort to remain laser-focused on the SatGuru’s Lotus Feet…”
