DARSHAN

PERSONAL BLESSING

Darshan means to see and be seen by the Divine. Receiving Darshan from a fully-Realised Master who lives in constant union with the Divine is a rare and special event, and Darshan with Paramahamsa Vishwananda is a personal experience that no one should miss.

‘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

WHAT IS DARSHAN?

Darshan means ‘divine sight’: the experience of seeing, and being seen by, the Divine. Receiving darshan from a fully-Realised Master who lives in constant union with the Divine is a rare and very special treasure not to be missed.

The moment of Darshan is unique: it’s just between you and Him. As He looks into your eyes, Paramahamsa Vishwananda showers unconditional Divine Love upon you. He often says that He is cleaning off dust and dirt from the mirror of your soul, so that you can reflect the light of God more and more. Each one receives something different, perfectly designed for them.

EXPRESS YOUR GRATITUDE

Darshan blessings are truly priceless and are always given freely by the Master.

Paramahamsa Vishwananda generously makes darshans available to everyone free of cost, however dakshina is greatly appreciated. Dakshina is a financial gift given to a spiritual Master in gratitude for a blessing. It is a voluntary gift and is not required in any way.

When dakshina is given in the spirit of love, without any expectation or obligation to pay, it grants you the full benefit of the Master’s blessings.
