Śrī Viṭṭhala Giridhāri Parabrahmaṇe Namaḥ: The Mantra of the Hari Bhakta Sampradaya

About this ebook
In the past, many sādhanas were needed to purify the human mind, body and heart: intense study of the Vedas, extreme austerities, and long periods of meditative absorption. Fortunately for us today, it’s different: the easiest and quickest way to purify ourselves is to chant the Name of God given by the satguru. Simply chanting the Divine Name is enough to end all our suffering.
On 8 April, 2020, an extraordinary event took place. On this day, Paramahamsa Vishwananda received the mantra, śrī viṭṭhala giridhāri parabrahmaṇe namaḥ, as it was revealed by Bhagavān Himself. This mantra has now become the mūla-mantra, the main mantra, of the Hari Bhakta Sampradāya.
For everyone (whether a devotee or follower or simply curious about the bhakti path) who wants to deepen their spiritual experience, this booklet will help provide a more profound understanding about the nature of this Divine Name in the form of this extraordinary mantra.
And now, since we have been graced to receive this Name of Śrī Hari, then the only thing that is needed is our willingness to make it part of our lives, and to chant it throughout our day—no matter what we’re doing—with love.

ABOUT PARAMAHAMSA VISHWANANDA
Paramahamsa Vishwananda carries the grace of two lineages which emphasise bhakti: loving devotion to God.
He is an ācārya of the Vaiṣṇava tradition, which promotes bhakti through ritual and service. He is also a kriyā master and direct disciple of Mahāvatāra Bābājī in the kriyā-yoga lineage. With the blessing of His guru, He introduced Atma Kriya Yoga which promotes bhakti through meditation.
Paramahamsa Vishwananda expertly weaves these two traditions together, one external and one internal, with the bhakti teachings of scriptures and the inspiration of bhakti saints to show everyone how to cultivate a uniquely personal, loving relationship with the Divine.
Since Paramahamsa Vishwananda is a satguru (one who can bring devotees to the level of God-realisation), the glory of God can be revealed through Him. Still, remaining humble and humorous, He makes the unfathomable, unknowable Lord not only real, but practical, tangible and personal. He brings the most profound and subtle truths down to earth, so that the same path that, traditionally, was pursued only by the few, is now accessible to all.
Dedicating His life to uplifting humanity, Paramahamsa Vishwananda’s teachings can be found in His books, videos, spiritual practices, livestream satsaṅgs (spiritual Q&A), online Darshan blessings, and His worldwide mission and organisation known as Bhakti Marga (the path of devotion).
