‘When you come for darshan and when I look at your soul at that moment, what I see is your Self, your True Self. And what I see is the beauty of what you hold inside of you. That’s what I want you to see and that’s what I want you to realise for yourself.’

- Paramahamsa Vishwananda 

A blessing from an enlightened spiritual master can change the course of your life.

Darshan with Paramahamsa Vishwananda is a rare, direct, personal blessing from an enlightened Master. In this sacred moment, the veil is lifted, and one can perceive the Divine Love and Grace which is already present within and around us.

Just one moment can have a profound impact mentally, physically, emotionally, and spiritually.

People come away from encounters with Paramahamsa Vishwananda feeling a profound, heart-opening awakening of unconditional love and acceptance such as they have never felt before. Many receive healing from specific ailments, peace and calm of mind, and a feeling of being connected to the core essence of oneself — the soul.

Register today for this rare opportunity. Limited spaces available. 

An Unforgettable Event

  • Enjoy Sacred Music

    One of the highlights of any Darshan Blessing is the amazing kirtan and bhajan! Kirtan is the call and response singing of the Divine Names, and is a powerful and fun way to open the heart and feel the presence of the Divine within and around us.

  • Postive Atmosphere

    Step into a world of positivity & connected with a likeminded community of spiritual seekers from around the globe! Darshan is deeply nourishing for the mind, body, and soul. Find healing, peace, and the joy of celebrating life.

  • A Precious Blessing

    The blessing of a living Satguru is beyond rare. Unique for everyone, it has been described as a showering of unconditional love; a moment with the Divine; a glimpse into your own inner beauty; a deep peace; and a catalyst for spiritual transformation.

Awaken to the Love Within You.

Don't miss this rare opportunity to receive Darshan for the first time in NYC!
