Some Bio: http://www.vishwananda.org/swami.html Shri Swami Vishwananda was born in 1978 in a Hindu family, on the Island of Mauritius. At that time, he was given the name 'Visham'. >From an early age he showed a keen interest in Spirituality. At the age of 15, He went into/experienced the state of Samadhi (meaning: experiencing intense union and direct communion with God). >From that day forth he has dedicated himself to the spiritual upliftment and transformation of mankind by guiding people to focus on love and forgiveness, through Patience and Unity to reveal and experience our Divine Reality. Shri Swami Vishwananda started off his mission by erecting a temple in Rose-Hill which is his place of birth - with this followed a calendar of spiritual activities to be accomplished: Volunteers heartily co-ordinated projects at both the Spiritual Level and Community Service level which included Human Moral Value Classes for children and adults, Study Circles, devotional singing, support and visits to orphanages and homes for the aged, blood donations and the organisation of multi-faith programmes. In 2002 Swami Vishwananda also constructed a 'Shirdi Sai Baba Temple' in Quatre-Bornes, Mauritius, where daily spiritual activities are carried out all year round. These activities amongst other programs are personally led by Swami whenever he is in residence. Shri Swami Vishwananda embraces all religious paths, all cultures and all races. He has a deep affinity with Jesus Christ, Shri Shirdi Sai Baba* and Mahavatar Kriya Babaji*. He says, "There have been many misquotations and misunderstandings of what Jesus actually said. His true message is a message of love and acceptance, not of criticizing and condemning others." Swami Vishwananda, his name signifies "The Bliss of the Universe": is here to uplift, inspire, and help people realise the 'Divine Light' that resides within themselves. He says: "you have to look within yourself, and not outside, for God is within each one of us as Love." Sri Swami Vishwananda is therefore here to bring the message of Love to everyone and will travel "wherever God sends him". Swami Vishwananda is not looking for disciples, He says, "I do not want people to depend on me, depend on the God/Guru within you. It is a great miracle that God, the Divine Self, is within you. The Divine Spark is within all equally, but only those who realise this are awakened. When realisation comes, the veil of illusion drops. God is always here, like the sun shining through a window. It is we who choose to draw the curtains. God has given me the blessing that I can uplift people spiritually and bring them to God realisation, which is to realise God within. God does not have a form, but He or She is within each one of us as Love. Today Swami is providing help to people in various parts of the world such as Mauritius, South Africa, Kenya, France, Italy, Switzerland, Germany, England and Wales.
