DISCOVER YOUR TRUE SELF

Bhakti Marga first time in the Dominican Republic

A 40 cm journey: from the mind to the heart

March 6–8 | El Valle • Samaná • Las Terrenas

For the first time in history, the path of devotion through Bhakti Marga arrives in the Dominican Republic. From Friday, March 6 to Sunday, March 8, in three magical locations in the Samaná region, we will have the opportunity to experience activities, ceremonies, and sessions of authentic spiritual value.

India in the Caribbean.

The gatherings will be guided by Rishi Adityananda and Swami Aniruddha, two Hindu monks and devotees of the Satguru Paramahamsa Vishwananda. The practices and teachings shared have one main purpose:

To awaken unconditional love within us.
To purify the heart.
To remember the purpose of the soul.
To experience the presence of the Divine.
To free ourselves from the suffering of the mind.
To gain knowledge and practices to develop a personal relationship with God.

This is not a retreat or a religious event.

Bhakti is a spiritual path that transforms life, guiding consciousness from the ego to the heart.

Namasté.

📅 Location & Program

🌴 Friday – March 6

📍 El Valle Leisy’s Garden

🕚 11:00 a.m. — OM Chanting & Satsang

We will open this spiritual portal with one of the most powerful tools to transmute negativity into positivity: Om Chanting (one of the ATMA Kriya Yoga practices revealed by Mahavatar Babaji through the enlightened master Paramahamsa Vishwananda).

This group meditation not only brings profound benefits to participants, but also extends its vibration up to 2 kilometers around, impacting nature, hospitals, schools, businesses, neighbors, animals, and more.

You are welcome to bring a photo of a loved one, a personal object, and a bottle of water to charge it with the creative vibration of the Universe: OM.

Rishi Aditya and Swami Aniruddha will also share a satsang — a space of spiritual teaching and wisdom where you can ask your questions.

🌊 Friday – March 6

📍 Samana / Las Flechas (on the way to Las Galeras) – Casa Mandakini

🕓 4:00 p.m. — Vedic Rituals, Puja, Abhishekam, Satsang & Kirtan

In the home of one of the oldest devotees of Paramahamsa Vishwananda (whom he encouraged more than a decade ago to stay and live in the Dominican Republic), we will open the doors to a deep event of purification and devotion.

This afternoon gathering will focus on traditional Vedic temple rituals. Participants will experience Puja (devotional offering ritual), Abhishekam (ceremonial bathing of sacred deities), followed by Satsang and Kirtan (devotional chanting of divine names).

Once your participation is confirmed, we will send you the exact location of Casa Mandakini.

✨ Saturday – March 7

📍 Las Terrenas – Soul Dream

🕓 4:00 p.m. • Yagna (Sacred Fire Ceremony) • Satsang • Kirtan

🌞 Sunday – March 8

📍 Las Terrenas – Soul Dream

🕓 4:00 p.m. OM Chanting + Spiritual Talk • Kirtan

Saturday will be a day of deep immersion combining spiritual teachings, devotional chanting, and the sacred fire ritual.

The Yagna (Vedic fire ceremony) is a divine opportunity to offer our limitations, attachments, suffering, desires, and identifications into the fire. Powerful, luminous, and expansive, this ritual symbolizes purification and surrender to the Divine.

There will be satsang (sacred knowledge based on Krishna’s teachings in the Bhagavad Gita to transform our daily lives) and kirtan (devotional music from India). Chanting is a call of the soul to create collective spiritual connection and open the heart.

If you feel it, you are welcome to bring instruments to accompany the monks.

We will close these three days immersed in devotion with an Om Chanting (group meditation to transmute negativity into positivity) on the rooftop of Soul Dream. Feel free to invite friends, family, and anyone who wishes to elevate their vibration.

Rishi Aditya and Swami Aniruddha will also share their final satsang of this magical journey.

Topic: How to master the mind through Krishna’s teachings.

This session will focus on practical spiritual tools to work with the mind, emotions, and daily life challenges through Bhakti wisdom. You will also have the opportunity to ask your most authentic questions.

Meet the Monks

Dedication. Expertise. Passion.

The monks visiting are devoted spiritual practitioners who have dedicated their lives to the path of Bhakti, the path of Divine Love, under the guidance of their Satguru, Paramahamsa Vishwananda, founder of Bhakti Marga. Through years of spiritual training, study of sacred scriptures, devotional practices, and service, they share authentic teachings and living wisdom with seekers around the world. Their presence offers a rare opportunity to experience sacred traditions, spiritual guidance, and heartfelt inspiration.

Swami Aniruddha has been on the spiritual path for more than 20 years. In 2008, he met his Satguru Paramahamsa Vishwananda, which deeply transformed and strengthened his spiritual journey. Through over a decade of close guidance, intensive personal experiences, and in-depth study of ancient Hindu scriptures, he shares the teachings of Divine Love and supports people worldwide in discovering deeper meaning and purpose in their lives. Swami Aniruddha travels internationally, speaking at seminars, festivals, and spiritual gatherings.

Rishi Aditya was born in Argentina and met Guruji, Paramahamsa Vishwananda, in 2017. Shortly after, he chose to dedicate his life to the devotional path and moved to the Bhakti Marga ashram Shree Peetha Nilaya in Germany, where he later took monastic vows and was initiated as a Rishi. Today, he is based in the Bhakti Marga ashram in New York and travels internationally, sharing Guruji’s message and guiding others through the path of devotion and spiritual practice.
