The former ‘Brücke’ in Vienna, now a Yoga-Center (thanks to the new owners Tammy and Mario), was bursting at the seams with devotees and with people who came for the first time to a Darshan with Sri Swami Vishwananda. Like in Prague the room was far too small and many devotees were kind enough to give their places to the many newcomers who met Swamiji for the first time. Dharmananda supported the bhajan music group as they played in between wonderful, insightful speeches given by the Pandit, Dr. Satya Narayan Das. Once again a most heartfelt thank you to all who participated!

It was crowded and hot – and therefore for sure a huge challenge for some to accept the Indian-like conditions. But everybody who looked into the eyes of our Guru experienced the pureness and love which spread out into the whole room and unity was not only a word but became a living reality.
Of course it was of little surprise that after the darshan, Swamiji gave spontaneously satsangs for the several different groups present: one for the Czech, one for the Polish, one for the Croatian and finally the Austrians. It was improvised but wonderful!
We want to thank for the hospitality we encountered in all the visited countries during this tour. Swamiji is full of praise and is looking forward to undergoing several more tours in the years to come.
Jai Gurudev! In the name of Bhakti Marga and Bhakti Event:
