Ireland & UK country week at Shree Peetha Nilaya

Take time to step away from your daily routines and step into bringing the Divine into every moment of your life. Making a pilgrimage to Shree Peetha Nilaya for a Country Week provides you with an amazing opportunity to dive deeper into what it means to be on the Bhakti path and to be inspired by others on the journey.

What you receive from God is not for you only, it is also for sharing with others, and to remind people of the Love of God.– Paramahamsa Vishwananda

Paramahamsa Vishwananda often speaks of the importance of learning more about our spiritual path and having a clear understanding about the real purpose of life. When you are strong on your path, it inspires others to change and it helps to uplift all those around you. Living bhakti means placing the Lord first in all that you do and it is done by having a clear aim, expanding your knowledge, engaging in consistent spiritual practise, and being strong in your commitment.

WHAT TO EXPECT

Country Week is designed to give you an experience of the joy and ease of living bhakti on a daily basis. During the week, you will be introduced to a variety of ways to experience, express and cultivate bhakti as well as how to incorporate it into your lifestyle.
In addition to time with Paramahamsa Vishwananda, you will be able to expand your horizons through classes in each of Bhakti Marga’s four devotional arms: Knowledge, Yoga & Meditation, Devotional Arts, and Rituals. The knowledge and skills you learn will help you realise and nourish your own uniquely personal relationship with the Divine.
