      ABOUT BHAKTI MARGA

      Paramahamsa Sri Swami Vishwananda is a fully realised spiritual Master, whose international mission, is known as 'Bhakti Marga', the path of devotion. He travels the world to encourage all people to recognise the universal Love that lies within each human being, and to awaken their innate ability to express that Love in their daily lives.

      Effortlessly connecting principles of eastern spirituality with elements of western spiritual tradition, Paramahamsa Vishwananda reveals the underlying oneness of the Divine and inspires a unique experience of spirituality, regardless of culture, religion, gender or age.

      The simple yet transformational spiritual practices he teaches are designed to help each individual move toward more peaceful and inspired life experiences. Accessing the wisdom of the heart, these practices help change the way you relate to yourself, others and the world around you.

      Giving Darshans and Satsangs tirelessly as he travels throughout the year, Paramahamsa Vishwananda introduces simple but profound concepts in a very personal way, answering questions about love, life, death, healing, and faith.

      Most recently, his commentaries on supplementary Vedic texts and on the Shreemad Bhagavad Gita, one of the most popular sacred Hindu scriptures in the world, help a worldwide audience gain a deeper understanding of the universal messages they contain, and make ancient wisdom accessible and applicable to contemporary life.

      PREFACE

      Many of us understand that we live in auspicious times. There is a shift of consciousness taking place and the world is undergoing a massive global awakening.

      As romantic as that sounds, this is not an easy road to travel, and those who are caught in this rising wave may find it challenging and somewhat difficult to manage. All around us, seemingly stable careers are vanishing, long-time relationships are dissolving, health conditions are changing, and even the Earth seems to be changing Her patterns.

      On the other hand, the Higher Divine Consciousness, or the Supersoul commonly called
