Time for Questions
Faced with a world that is unstable, chaotic and hectic, more and more people are asking themselves questions about the meaning of life.
A new consciousness is developing that seeks answers to the central questions in life:
Where do we come from? Where are we going? Why are we here?
Paramahamsa Vishwananda emphasizes that more and more people today are asking themselves exactly these questions and choosing the spiritual path.
The Individual Path
Paramahamsa Vishwananda offers answers for spiritual seekers that allow a clear direction and at the same time freedom of the individual path.
The spiritual practice He teaches is so versatile and at the same time so easily accessible that people in search quickly achieve positive experiences and results. They find the answers to the questions of life within themselves.
Space for Experience
This is exactly what Paramahamsa Vishwananda wants to offer with this ashram: Space for more possibilities of a strong and ever growing spiritual community.
For some people it can be a one-time visit to the ashram, for others regular visits. Each person finds the framework and the program to choose the best support for their own development.

The Capital
How is the Ashram financed?In order to provide the necessary capital for the purchase of a suitable property, we established a public limited company on the 3rd of August.The current financial and world situation with strongly declining production and a drop in value is making many people insecure to make investments.
Bhakti Marga has a well-founded and functioning concept, which allows us to expect value preservation beyond inflation, system crash and currency reforms.
The Capital
Everyone can participateThe purchase of a share in the ashram project is not only a sustainable, solid and ethical investment, but also offers you the security of a direct, unlevered and non-cyclical asset. You now have the chance to acquire your freely tradable share in the ashram project with one or more shares.
The ashram will then belong to all of us together -the whole Bhakti Marga family in Germany!
Join in - it's your project too!
How can you get involved?The larger the community is that gets involved financially and practically, the faster our vision for Bhakti Marga Germany becomes reality and we fulfil the wish of Paramahamsa Vishwananda.
You can already reserve your share(s) now with obligation.
We are pleased about your interest in our German ashram.
