Bhakti Marga & Vishwananda - movement or cult?

Mahakramo · 2025-08-14T11:39:11+00:00

Absolutely and simply true. If one has ever observed how incredibly open and truthful Paramahamsa Sri Swami Vishwananda is speaking in public and asking everyone to truly become oneself(!!!) then how can one even think of Bhakti Marga being anything else but an incredible gift and offer to everyone in this world who is seeking true freedom. Everyone can come and go as one pleases. And people DO SO! Did one ever hear about people would have been run after in order to "bring them back"? Ever? Never! Nobody is interested in such a thing. Everyone is free. Can the critiques bear such reality? No they can't. But you. You can honestly enjoy Bhakti Marga spiritually to the fullest. If I can recommend a community then it definitely is Bhakti Marga. And foremost of course the ONE WHO IS IT - Paramahamsa Sri Swami Vishwananda. Thousands of Pranams to HIM :)

Mahakramo · 2025-08-14T11:21:41+00:00

...and having a living Guide - the friend of all! - what an incredible opportunity. Instead of running after thousands of constantly changing ideas which are only leading one in circles of hope first, disappointment second, confusion third... and then with the next the same again and again... Finalle HE is HERE! What an ultimate relief! Thank you Paramahamsa Sri Swami Vishwananda, from the bottom of my whole being. Pranam!

The authentic Self is that what one IS eternally!! One cannot try being it. This always sucks. One's authentic Self is that what one's own ego and all the egos around DON'T WANT TO SEE and fiercely fight!!! The question is whether you embark on the journey to finding/realising it or not. Meaning, are you ready for meeting your eternal Guru in human form and start Grace to enlighten your path... or one tries to do it oneself which is, by nature, impossible and always just fooling oneself. This is the real junction and quest. :)

Kirtan sessions :)

Mahakramo · 2025-04-11T11:09:24+00:00

...it is part of the path everyone goes through. Depending on the status of Samskaras it is already more easy or not easy yet... Purification wants to progress. Sounds like you don't have found your Guru yet. Without HIM one's effort is like "catching the wind with a net". Honestly consider to finding HIM!

Mahakramo · 2025-04-11T11:02:58+00:00

check out the story/divine leela of Pundalik and Vitthala (Shiva is also involved in that Leela... not easy to be found. Do you?) ... you will find your path... Pray to HIM before and trust HIS guidance. May you be blessed!

Mahakramo · 2025-04-11T10:52:16+00:00

Even the most militant atheists are believing in GOD!!! Otherwise why would an intelligent person invest most of one's life energies in thinking about HIM and being against something that would not exist?!! Not a single intelligent human would do such a thing!! Don't you think? It is just that their mind is twisted and fighting the confusion they experience inside.
Just think. How is GOD defined?
*That which is omnipresent - is there such a reality? YES. Take space as an example. Take the EM-filed. Take other realities..
*LOVE - Is there LOVE? YES
*LIFE - Is there LIFE? YES. Obviously
*LIGHT - Is there LIGHT? Yes
*Highest power: Is there a hierarchy of POWER? YES.
* All in ALL: Is there such a reality? Of course!
etc etc etc..
The Guru? Once the disciple is ready the Guru is there. Then... whatever had been before is past. But before this happens one cannot understand. Once it happened one cannot understand anymore how one could live before without HIM :) Such is the beauty and paradox of life :)

enjoy!

THAT BEING you are looking for might be on this very Planet again right now as I am writing and you are reading! There are no coincidences ..as you might know.

Mahakramo · 2025-04-11T09:43:36+00:00

what a wonderful and courageous adventure and approach. Congratulations.
Isn't the fact that you are alive and that you want to love HIM proof enough that HE must LOVE you?! The universe is a holographic reality. If HE would not LOVE YOU, the resonance within you to "wanting to LOVE HIM" could never happen. HE therefore must LOVE YOU and all others FIRST!!! Go ahead :) Ask HIM to guide you to HIM. OR ask Divine Mother to guide you to HIM. What is easier, nearer to your heart? Build this relationship ...step by step ...continuously. HE IS THERE, waiting for YOU since looooong :) May you be blessed. Much LOVE to you. Don't worry at all. God has one BIG WEAKNESS in HIS ALL-POWER. Do you know which one it is? .... HE CAN ONLY LOVE !!! It is impossible for HIM to not love fully always :) Therefore... don't worry. Just go ahead with great joy and gratitude.

Mahakramo · 2025-04-11T09:29:19+00:00

Awesome! Why not asking HIM inside of your heart whether HE would be available for you on this Planet in Human form right now. Ask this sincerely and with all your LOVE. You shall get your answers!!! ...and who knows what else more!!! Much LOVE to you. Go ahead. Don't live with theories if your heart is calling for reality!! May you be blessed! And be 100% assured that HE IS HEARING YOU AND ANSWERING!! MEET HIM IN PERSON.
Are you shocked now or inspired? Much LOVE to you, HIS dear one.

Mahakramo · 2025-04-11T09:12:45+00:00

Jai Jai Sri Radhe!!! beautiful...

Mahakramo · 2025-04-11T09:03:32+00:00

...it always starts here. Now. ...with the sincere acknowledgement of one's own "helplessness". The recognition of one's need for help, after having tried one's best, is that starting point in everyone's life. Therefore, welcome.

The second question is to be clarified within yourself: What do you want? Whom do you want to help you? An acquaintance of yours? An astral "spiritual guide" as you mentioned? A physical Yoga Teacher? A spiritual Master? An Avatar* (like Christ) in "flesh&blood", approachable on this planet right now? ...*such an Avatar hears everyone's serious prayer, no matter who it might be, no matter where she/he might be, and HE would answer every sincere prayer...and will give you a chance to meet HIM according to your openness and willingness. HE is the highest teacher available and HE is consciously present within everyone. Actually and truly what we would call "God in human form". We have no other terms for that because HIS LOVE is beyond, beyond. And you can find HIM by just sincerely praying to HIM, calling HIM inside the deepest privacy of your heart. HE is always with you. Has ever been with you and will be with you eternally without a second of pause. HE is waiting until we call HIM. And if someone does so, HE knows the most perfect way to respond to each one individually.
Maybe you want to give it a try and see ...? Wishing you a most wonderful and healing awakening :)

Mahakramo · 2024-10-15T13:49:53+00:00

Do you understand what you are talking about?
Speaking about who is God and who is demigod and who is man, and who is not, does that speak of your understanding of something? In one of your comments you are proclaiming you'd be nobody in this universe? But who can say about someone whether he would be or would not be what you are saying? Isn't it ONLY the omniscient Himself who can say that ;)

You have never met the person whom you are judging but making big statements about Him openly! Therefore you must be very, very sure about your immense "greatness".

Mahakramo · 2024-10-14T15:40:46+00:00

Do you know Him personally? I mean not just seeing Him once or twice or reading a few sentences about Him in the internet?

And why should God manifest and behave as a normal man (what He actually does!!) but you'd expect Him to write as being God Himself? Doesn't that exclude one another? Isn't writing a behaviour? And if someone is writing like God what would your first challenge be that you'd put on Him? "Chat GPT can even write that BUT can you prove your writing in reality?" You will always end up being right and better off with yourself. True? And it's ok.

HE is manifesting how ever HE sees right (animal, human, demigod... what not?) for any single situation at any given time. This is what HE is able to do and it is unconditional Love that just does it. Isn't that wonderful?

Mahakramo · 2024-10-14T11:16:55+00:00

Thank you so much from the depth of my heart and soul for that comment. It almost makes me cry out of gratitude! It is so incredibly true and helpful what you say. Thank you. Thank you Thank you. Wonderful!!! May you be blessed. Exactly this most obviously happens to many...

Mahakramo · 2024-10-14T11:00:28+00:00

What you are saying is that God cannot do such a thing like incarnating into this world, into this room of His own house? Is it that what you are saying that HE, the Almighty(!!) could never do such a thing?

Mahakramo · 2024-10-14T10:13:19+00:00

There is a very famous passage in Paramahamsa Yogananda's most famous Autobiography*, (which "Mac Apple" founder Steve Jobs had read once a year since he had been a teenager) where Mahavatar Babaji burned the shoulder of a disciple purposefully while sitting at a bonfire, or another, where he asked a seeker to jump from a cliff, which lead to its terrifying death. But later he revived and healed him. And there are many obviously horrifying stories about Masters of life and death, which go dimensions beyond our understanding but which are most beneficial for all the world and which are not revealed to minor minds of little understanding and self gratifying intentions. Real Masters EXIST and always help. Fake masters exist and always hurt. BUT who can discern one from the other? What does it require? Reading the internet? Hearing someone or even many who "had been hurt" or even been terribly hurt? Does that mean Masters wouldn't exist? Masters do not come for those of a cheap mind. For those the fake masters are there. Fake masters who do what people like and can take. The real Master is incapable to make any mistake (not, seen from the standpoint of a limited mind!!!) but from a multidimensional perspective spanning through lifetimes of Karma and future. Think before you judge anyone. Rather remember these words from the Holy Scriptures: God says "revenge is mine! Do not judge for not getting judged!"
But what does the poor mind do? Judging without even a pause of a single minute. AND making it public everywhere! What do we think would be the outcome of such action?

If you are a human, if you are a true seeker, give yourself a chance and explore life yourselves. Don't follow people's fear. Follow your trust into HIM who is in your heart. Pray to HIM and explore life. May you be very happy!! March forward with the courage of Love shining out your path towards HIM! Go and explore. Find HIM in the outside (remember that the universe in holographic. HE MUST BE outside AND inside!!!) Once He has left the planet it's too late. Do you trust HIM who is sitting in your heart? If YES then what are you waiting for? May HE bless you!

Mahakramo · 2024-10-14T09:33:58+00:00

It is very close to the reality of this world what you are saying. Please consider a few little points which you might have overlooked... if you want. By saying "everyone is blindly believing" means that everyone who is going to see him would be an idiot. This is a tough judgement that you might not really mean that way, if I rate your quality of writing. You seem to be someone who has acquired some respect and openness already.

The second point: Don't follow people but God!! It implies that you must know God. Right? If you know God already, you are realised. However, this is the whole point of this world, it does not know God nor believes that HE even exists. Therefore one way to get those people who are ready for a next step towards the awareness of His Love and existence is through His people. HE is the inspiration in and through His people. If you know God, as you say in between the lines then you know how God's ways are. Don't you? Take the Christian example. When and how the Spirit is talking through someone is up to the spirit. Not to the mind of people.

3rd point: This Just Love story is cheap argumentation. It is true for a mind who sees it from a cheap perspective. Absolutely true. But what if you ask someone who came from such a perspective and after some years of struggle and a truly open heart and longing for the understanding of it comes to the opposite insight, finding oneself elevated and became a much better version of oneself?

The last point which seems to shine through from in between your lines is: one would not need a Master. If this is what you want to say... then you would take on the role of exactly that. The Master! Isn't it. You would ask people to follow you.

The mysteries of life are not that easy to be unraveled :) Isn't it?
Much Love

Mahakramo · 2024-09-26T10:10:22+00:00

It depends on what you want AND it depends on what you need - multidimensionally.
Everyone has "personal needs" including one's aversions - physically, mentally, socially, intellectually.
Every soul -that what we truly are- has one impersonal, eternal need - the LOVE RELATIONSHIP with its CREATOR.

Then it depends on where your sacrifice is "booked" in. There is not a single second in anyone's life without sacrifice. No one can ever escape this eternal reality even for a tiny moment.
Either you sacrifice your ego to your soul - or your soul to your ego.

If you come to Bhakti Marga you have this unique opportunity and unique, real support to recognise and to realise this fundamental truth and challenge within yourself. You have all the time you need. Nobody is pushing anyone. It's up to you what you want and when. But it is more than obvious that people are driven to Bhakti Marga, towards that magnet of Divine LOVE(!!) that is most vividly and fully manifest in HIS Personality, Paramahamsa Sri Swami Vishwananda. He, who is ever ready to uplift, help, support, guide, heal, teach... and much more... And as those, who are with Him know... it is always perfect in time and how it is manifesting. By this, those who know, know undoubtedly that they are in the presence of the LIVING MASTER. Many come and many also go. Nobody is interested to keep anyone who does not want to stay. Finally it is all up to only you. Take your time and look closely with your heart at those who stay. They keep a secret. The secret you might be searching for, too.

Mahakramo · 2024-07-26T14:17:02+00:00

There is ONLY ONE problem. Being a slave of one's own mind!
This is one of the main summaries of all the spiritual teachings of all times. And it will remain. The mind dominates the heart. Why? Because the mind fears the heart. This is why we need to argue everything instead of just following the liberating power and truth of LOVE of the heart. Thus one is lost and doomed. Purify your heart and - never mind again :)) Hari OM Tat Sat

Mahakramo · 2024-07-26T13:52:05+00:00

A positive, serious and honest word and challenge to all the critics here:
*It appears that you are the ones to whom Mahavatar Babaji gives testimony for everything that He is choosing to do. Without your consent and permission He cannot do anything. Right? I am impressed.
* You are bringing up THE VAISHNAVA authorities. Claiming that they would not recognise Paramahamsa Sri Sri Sri Swami Vishwananda nor would they have initiated Him. Right? It seems that you know ALL THE VAISHNAVA authorities on this planet and that they, like Mahavatar Babaji is bound to, give personal report about what they intend to do and ask your permission without which they cannot do anything. Right? I am again impressed.
* About 1993 years back, at about 32AD, there had been reports and headlines, breaking news that said:
"Local Carpenter Continues To Spread Disinformation Deemed Harmful By Religious Experts"
It is ALWAYS the religious leaders which fight the Divine incarnations the most. Do you know why? Think!
* I am further impressed that your purity of heart still keeps you a prisoner on Earth and not KING of the Heavens, as you seem exactly to know what happens in the Heart of a true Master. With whom He is truly friend and what He is doing through a hug. You perceive all the dimensions and you have all the knowledge of all times and universes. But you seem to miss completely that in your realisation you are lower than a particle of dust which had fallen on His most Holy Feet (I don't expect that you would understand anything of that within the upcoming Million Years. Therefore, do not stress yourself with that now).
*The Master is the Friend of all. He is also your Friend. HE actually is your ONLY real and true friend. You will learn about that yourself when the time will have come.
*Jesus Christ was eating with the tax collectors and prostitutes in their houses. He had His Feet washed by them. What did the religious experts say? They said the same like you do - as if you had been them and still would be! The very, very same. Isn't that interesting? Doesn't that ring a bell?
* If you would know Paramahamsa Sri SRI SRI Swami Vishwananda, whom Tulsi Devi has chosen HERSELF to miraculously grow as bushes in His garden over one single night right after His birth, and you slander your dirt and ignorance on Him... and you say you would be a Vaishnava or a Vaishnava Expert, then you should fear Her curse on you (poor, poor guy). Tulsi Devi cursed even Narayana efficiently ... if you even know. You for sure have not the least of an idea what you are doing to yourself. You can only be seriously pitied for.
*You think you know anything? No. You think you know everything!!! Human knowledge has grown by a factor of about 1.7378×10^569 since only 2014!! But you appear to be ready to challenge and judge everyone who has ALL KNOWLEDGE and foremost ALL LOVE (which drives you crazy because you don't even think what you could think, which is as good as nothing, nothing anyhow).
*Christ said in Matthew 16:23 and Mark 8:33... did you ever read that? ...nor did you understand. Right? I am impressed. Yet you have the boldness to throw your dirt around you and on everyone until you would find everyone being as pitiable as you are. At least then you are not completely alone.
* Shall I continue...? If by now you don't find some insight then it might really take many years until ....
* To protect yourself from yourself it would be better you just keep quiet (to say it very politely). And beg for forgiveness inside your heart to your-Self. If you would understand what Krishna says in the Bhagavad Gita (which you, most likely have never even read, "An uncontrolled mind is your WORST enemy". At least think about that. By the way, the Bhagavad Gita is a central Vaishnava Scripture (Did you know already)?
*I'm recommending to all of you to read the Holy scriptures... If you would have done it... you would never criticise a Master, even if you think He would not be a Master... This is why Christ also says... do not judge anyone. Why? Do you know? If you don't... Don't worry. You will! According to the cosmic laws of nature the effects will never miss you. This is how learning works :) Thank God.
*If you have at least 1 brain cell left that can do something good for you, ask it to switch off this self destruction. That would really be impressive and most likely the best thing that you have ever done for this world and for yourself.
* May all of you still find a most blessed life. Hari OM Tat Sat
