Dublin Darshan with Paramahamsa Vishwananda
Event Information
About this event
The word Darshan is derived from the Sanskrit root ‘drsh’, which means ‘sight’ or ‘having a glimpse of’ the Divine. Darshan with Paramahamsa Vishwananda means not only seeing the Divine, but also receiving a personal blessing. To receive a personal blessing (Darshan) from a Realised Master is one of the greatest gifts given to mankind.
The Darshan Experience
The Darshan programme includes devotional music and songs from various traditions, inspirational talks and, of course, the Darshan blessing itself. Musicians will sing and devotees may tell stories throughout the entire Darshan. The event closes with arati, which is an offering of light to the Divine.
Darshan consists of spending a few personal moments gazing into Paramahamsa Vishwananda’s eyes while He holds His hand on the top of your head. Paramahamsa Vishwananda may or may not speak with you after He removes His hand from your head. If you have a short question for Him, please ask before He moves on to the next person. You may also hand Him photographs, books, prayer beads or murtis to bless. Once you return to your seat, take time to sit quietly and go inward to reflect upon your experience.
Cost
Darshan is open to all and free of cost. It is Guruji’s wish that everyone has the opportunity to receive Darshan. Darshans and other free programs like festivals are made possible through the generous donations of those who have been touched by Guruji’s love.
