Get Started

Lord Kṛṣṇa says: In My opinion, those who are forever absorbed in Me with strong faith and worship My personal form with focussed minds, are on the highest path.

Bhagavad Gita 12.2

Bhakti is an exclusive flow of loving consciousness toward Bhagavān that results in a deep feeling of belonging, is expressed as sevā, and puts an end to all suffering.

Paramahamsa Vishwananda

Of all forms of worship of the Lord, love is the highest.

Saint Surdas

Bhakti Marga

Bhakti Marga began in 2005 as a small devotional community dedicated to cultivating a life rooted in love, service, and spiritual practice. Over the years it has grown into a global movement with centres, temples, and ashrams across Europe, the Americas, Africa, and Asia, each offering regular community gatherings and devotional programs. Its international headquarters, Shree Peetha Nilaya in Germany, serves as the main ashram and training hub.

The path is grounded in bhakti, the practice of directing the heart toward the Divine through meditation, chanting, prayer, puja, and selfless service. Bhakti Marga places a strong emphasis on lived spirituality: developing devotion, cultivating inner transformation, and building supportive communities that help individuals bring spiritual principles into daily life.

Activities include courses on meditation and yoga, deity worship, satsangs, music programs, retreats, seva initiatives, pilgrimages, and large international events such as kirtan festivals and sacred celebrations. Many country groups also maintain local temples or puja halls where regular prayers and rituals are offered.

Today Bhakti Marga is active in more than 40 countries, supported by hundreds of volunteers and practitioners who help maintain temples, organise events, and share the teachings. Its aim remains simple: to guide people toward a loving, personal relationship with the Divine and to support a devotional way of living in modern society.

Paramahamsa Vishwananda

Paramahamsa Sri Swami Vishwananda (born 13 June 1978 in Beau Bassin–Rose Hill, Mauritius) is a Mauritian-born Hindu spiritual teacher and the founder of Bhakti Marga. His early life is presented by his organisation as steeped in devotion, with an encounter with his guru, Mahavatar Babaji.

After traveling and giving darshan in Europe in the late 1990s, he formally established Bhakti Marga on 13 June 2005. The movement's international headquarters is Shree Peetha Nilaya in Heidenrod (Taunus), Germany, from which he teaches a path of devotion (bhakti), including practices such as Atma Kriya Yoga.

In recent years, he created the Hari Bhakta Sampradaya, which is a Vaishnava lineage centered around Sri Hari and Guru, and it is only through devotion that we can reach Them.

Paramahamsa Vishwananda incorporated a new philosophy into the Hari Bhakta Sampradaya, called Tadadmya Vedanta, which explains the relationship between God, the material world, and the soul, the qualities of each, and much more.

Bio

Dhanurdhara Das Ananda

Teacher of Spiritual Knowledge, Rituals and Yoga&Meditation

Born in July 1994, Dhanurdhara Das Ananda grew up in a religious family, yet he never considered himself a religious person. As a young man, after experiencing many of the things he desired, he began to feel an inner emptiness he couldn't explain or fill.

Due to his upbringing and also realizing that the knowledge acquired from reading history, politics, and philosophy books, which until then were topics he greatly enjoyed, did not fill this void, he concluded that this feeling could be resolved through self-knowledge and spirituality—a path that led him to Hindu culture.

In January 2017, he met Paramahamsa Vishwananda in São Paulo, where he experienced something profound and transformative — an encounter he later understood as a call from his soul to his Satguru.

In Florianópolis, the city where he was studying, Paramahamsa Vishwananda inaugurated a temple just ten minutes from his home, and Dhanurdhara Das began to attend it regularly. A year later, he traveled to Germany, to the Shree Peetha Nilaya ashram, where he dedicated himself to seva (devotional service) and a deeper understanding of Bhakti Marga and Hinduism. Where he resides there ever since.
