ABOUT THE EVENT
A Celebration of
Divine Love
Join us for a celebration unlike any other as we unveil a new sacred sanctuary of love and devotion – the Rukmini Panduranga Temple, nestled in the heart of Long Beach, California!
This special event will be led by world renowned spiritual teacher and Satguru, Paramahamsa Vishwananda, who is revolutionizing the path of bhakti (devotion) for the modern world.
Enjoy ecstatic live devotional kirtan music, beautiful Vedic rituals, yagna, inspiring spiritual talks, delicious food, and countless blessings at this rare celebration of Divine Love!
Connect to Your Higher Self
– Paramahamsa Vishwananda
A temple opening only happens once. It is the awakening of Divinity both inside, and outside. The Temple Deities and celebrations serve to connect you to your Higher Self, and awaken the Divine qualities within you.
The Rukmini Panduranga temple serves as a sacred sanctuary where all can come and be reminded of the unconditional Love of God, feel and experience His and Her presence, and discover your eternal relationship with the Divine.
Beautiful Vedic Rituals
Experience the power of Vedic ritual to connect & awaken the Divine within! The temple ceremonies include traditional, beautiful abhishekam, pujas, aratis, and more rituals with deep meaning and power.
Live Devotional Kirtan Music
Sing and dance your heart out with the live devotional music! Kirtan, or simply the singing of Divine Names, is a joyful spiritual practice that is a fast, easy, and fun way to connect us to our heart and dive into the bliss within.
Delicious Blessed Food
This joyful day will be filled with delicious desserts, simple nourishing vegan and vegetarian food, and prasadam – sacred blessed food offered to the Divine.
Vedic Fire Ceremony
Yagna is an ancient fire ceremony for purification & transformation. For thousands of years yagnas have been an integral part of spiritual transformation, as the fire represents destruction and ultimately rebirth.
Amazing Community
Enjoy the company of likeminded spiritual seekers on the path of devotion! Co-creating this sacred space, the community uplifts one another and helps to create a positive and loving envirment of love and acceptance.
Spiritual Inspiration
Satsang, or spiritual talks, are an important part of spiritual life. Be inspired by timeless wisdom of the path of devotion, and listen to the glories of the Lord and saints with Paramahamsa Vishwananda Himself!
In the Presence of an enlightened master
Meet Paramahamsa Vishwananda
The temple opening is a rare opportunity to meet fully enlightened spiritual Master, Paramahamsa Vishwananda! Don’t miss the chance to receive a personal blessing, called Darshan, from Him on February 11th!
WHO IS PARAMAHAMSA VISHWANANDA?
Paramahamsa Vishwananda is a revolutionary Satguru of our time. Beautifully unifying the devotional traditions of India, He goes beyond dogma to religion’s real purpose: knowledge of who we truly are and our relationship to the Divine within.
He is a Kriya Master, reviving Atma Kriya Yoga, as well as the founder of the Hari Bhakta Sampradaya, which honors various Bhakti traditions from the heart of India.
His mission is to open the hearts of humanity.
ABOUT RUKMINI PANDURANGA
When Krishna went to find His wife, Rukmini (an incarnation of Maha Lakshmi) after She left Dwarka, He took the form of Panduranga Vitthala.
When they reunited, the Divine couple decided to visit a devotee named Pundalik: a former sinner turned saint. Once abusive, Pundalik became totally devoted to his parents after a life-changing realization.
His devotion was so focused that he told the Lord to wait while he finished serving his parents. He even threw a brick out the door for the Lord to stand on.
The brick represents devotion, bhakti, fully-absorbed, single-pointed love and service to the Divine, which goes far beyond external acts of worship.
When bhakti awakens inside of ourselves, it helps us grow ever closer to the Lord. Panduranga is shown keeping His arms over the waist, shows His readiness to take His devotees across the ocean of death and rebirth.
CONNECT TO THE SAINTS
The auspicious pilgrimage place of Pandharpur, in the state of Maharashtra, India is a most sacred shrine of Lord Panduranga and Mata Rukmini Devi. Saints like Sant Jnaneshwar, Sant Namadev, Sant Tukaram, Sant Ekanath, and many more had taken birth in and around this place during the 13th century.
All these great saints spread the movement of not only Bhakti but also equality in human beings irrespective of caste, creed and religion.
The Long Beach Rukmini Panduranga temple will feature 18 of the most relevant Maharashtran Saints in beautiful ornate wood carvings honoring an era of rare and infinitely blissful souls who shared a deep and humble dependence of the form aspect of God as Vitthala Panduranga.
