What is Bhakti Yoga
Â
Â
Bhakti Yoga is the yoga of love and devotion. It awakens the heart and deepens our relationship with the Divine, helping us to experience God’s presence in every aspect of life.
Passed down through the ages, this wisdom is now publicly available and has been shared with us by Paramahamsa Vishwananda in a way we can truly understand. Bhakti Yoga is a timeless path that transforms the way we see ourselves and the world around us.
Through chanting (kirtan), prayer, seva (selfless service), rituals, meditation, and connection with the Guru, Bhakti Yoga guides us to live in constant awareness of the Love that already resides within us.
Bhakti Yoga, to re-unite with God.
Â
In the Bhagavad Gita, Lord Krishna explains that the knowledge of yoga was given to humanity many thousands of years ago. Over time, however, this sacred wisdom was forgotten. To restore it, Krishna revealed the path of Bhakti — the yoga of love and devotion — as the highest way for the soul to return to Him.
For centuries, saints, sages, and devotees have carried this knowledge, keeping alive the eternal relationship between the soul and God. Bhakti is not something invented in modern times; it is the most ancient and natural path, eternally available to every being.
Today, Paramahamsa Vishwananda is reviving and sharing this timeless wisdom, bringing it back to the forefront of spiritual life. Through His grace and guidance, the pure essence of Bhakti Yoga is made accessible to us once again, opening our hearts to the direct experience of Divine Love.
Swami Aniruddha and Rishi Aditya, as His disciples, carry this living tradition forward. Through their service, teachings, and personal example, they help seekers connect with the same flow of Divine Love, making the path of Bhakti Yoga tangible and alive in the world today.
MEETÂ THE MONKS
Swami Aniruddha
Practical Wisdom for a Meaningful Life
Swami Aniruddha offers a grounded and practical approach to spirituality—where ancient wisdom meets real-life transformation. For over 17 years, he has lived under the direct guidance of his Satguru, Paramahamsa Vishwananda, serving in his ashram and sharing his mission of divine love and inner awakening.
Driven from childhood by the questions “Who am I?” and “Why am I here?”, Swami Aniruddha explored many paths: studying mechanics, philosophy, psychology, and alternative healing; practicing various yogas; working across diverse fields; and traveling extensively in search of truth. Though deeply touched by India’s spiritual richness, it was only upon meeting his Guru in 2008 that his inner quest found its true home.
Born and raised in the Italian Alps, he carries a deep connection to nature and people alike. Swami Aniruddha teaches in five languages across the world, always making spiritual knowledge accessible, transformative, and relevant to daily life.

 Swami ShridharÂ
In 1994, long before meeting his Satguru, Swami Shridhar founded Goofy Foot Surf School in Lahaina, Maui, where he shared his love for the ocean and teaching as a surf instructor and waterman. Nearly two decades later, a surfing and photography expedition through India in 2013 brought him to the Maha Kumbh Mela, where he met his spiritual master, Paramahamsa Sri Swami Vishwananda whose loving bhakti wave broke over the shores of his heart, forever affecting the course of his life,Â
Â
Since then, Swami Shridhar has had the blessing to travel extensively with his Satguru, documenting His worldwide mission and teachings. He is currently working on a documentary that reflects these transformative experiences.
Â
In 2015, Swami Vishwananda initiated him as an Atma Kriya Yoga teacher, and in April 2021, as Swami Shridhar, dedicating his life fully to the spiritual path. Most recently, in February 2024, Guruji inaugurated the Nitya Mahima Panduranga Mandir in Long Beach, California, where Swami Shridhar now serves as resident Swami, guiding and supporting the local community in their spiritual journey.
Rishi Aditya
SHARING TRANSFORMATION THROUGH DEVOTION
Originally from Argentina, Rishi Aditya began his journey in 2015, seeking deeper meaning beyond material success.
After building a thriving business and traveling the world, his life was profoundly transformed in 2017 when he met his Satguru, Paramahamsa Vishwananda, and experienced the transformative power of a life dedicated to God.
Observing the profound changes in his own life through the practice of Atma Kriya Yoga and Guruji’s teachings, he became an Atma Kriya Teacher in 2024 and has been sharing this powerful technique with spiritual seekers ever since.
