A Celebration of Love, Light & Inner Awakening

On the sacred occasion of Raksha Bandhan, Bhakti Marga warmly invites the Hindu community of New York and beyond to a truly unforgettable spiritual experience — Darshan with Paramahamsa Vishwananda, a living, enlightened Master, making His first-ever appearance in New York City on August 9, 2025.

What is Bhakti Marga?

Bhakti Marga means “the path of devotion.” It is a global spiritual movement rooted in Sanatana Dharma, currently active in 82 countries, with 17 ashrams and 68 temples and centers worldwide. At its heart, Bhakti Marga is about cultivating a deep, personal relationship with the Divine through love and devotion.

What is Darshan?

Darshan is not a lecture, seminar, or religious ritual. It is a sacred moment—a direct, heart-opening experience of Divine Love, transmitted through the gaze of the Master. Many experience deep inner peace, clarity, and a profound sense of spiritual connection with just a single glance.

This event is part of Paramahamsa Vishwananda’s worldwide mission to awaken hearts and help people reconnect with God’s unconditional love. Over the past 25 years, He has given 390 Darshans in 46 countries, blessing more than 335,000 individuals. Now, it’s New York’s turn to receive His blessings.

Why Raksha Bandhan Makes This Darshan Extra Special

This year’s Darshan coincides with Raksha Bandhan, the sacred festival that celebrates the bonds of love and protection between siblings. It’s the perfect day to come together with family and friends in a celebration of both outer love and inner awakening.
