Three sacred days at the Nitya Mahima Panduranga Mandir in Long Beach. This retreat blends deep spiritual practices with the living presence of the temple and the guidance of Swami Tulsidas.
Yajna
Participate in a traditional Vedic fire ceremony. Offer your intentions into the sacred flame and let the smoke carry your prayers to the Divine.

Daily prayers and temple puja in the presence of Panduranga — the living heart of Bhakti Marga's California community.
Satsang
Receive direct spiritual guidance from Swami Tulsidas in intimate group satsangs designed to open the heart and deepen your connection with the Divine.
Deep Meditation
Extended guided meditation sessions to help you go inward, cultivate stillness, and access the silence beneath the mind.
OM Chanting
Harness the primordial vibration of OM. Group chanting inside the sacred temple space purifies both the participants and the environment.
Devotional Music
Let the holy names fill the temple. Live kirtan and bhajan sessions awaken joy, dissolve the mind, and naturally open the heart.
Downtown LA Visit
A mindful excursion into the heart of Los Angeles — bringing the Bhakti spirit into the city and experiencing the Divine everywhere.
Vegetarian Food Included
Nourishing, sattvic vegetarian meals prepared with love and offered as prasad — food that supports your practice and honors the body.

Meet your guide
Swami Tulsidas
Swami of Bhakti Marga North America
Swami Tulsidas is a direct disciple of Paramahamsa Vishwananda and the appointed Swami for
Bhakti Marga North America. For 12 years, Swamiji lived at Shree Peetha Nilaya, the main
ashram of Bhakti Marga, where he learned directly under the guidance of his Satguru. In 2011,
he was initiated as a Rishi and given the name Rishi Tulsidasananda, honoring his deep love
and connection to the Divine Mother Tulsi. In October 2018, he was appointed as a Swami of
Bhakti Marga.
He currently serves at Paranitya Narasimha Temple in Elmira, New York, guiding devotees and
seekers through bhakti, spiritual practice, and the teachings of Paramahamsa Vishwananda.
His presence carries a deep devotion, humility, and a heartfelt commitment to helping others
experience the living path of Divine Love.
Rishi Aditya
Bhakti Marga Centers, California and New York
Originally from Argentina, Rishi Aditya began his spiritual search in 2015, looking for
something deeper than the material success he had already built as an entrepreneur running
a hotel and a tourism agency. In 2017, meeting his Satguru, Paramahamsa Vishwananda, changed
the direction of his life entirely, and within three months he chose to step into a life of
devotion and renunciation.
He moved to Shree Peetha Nilaya, the main Bhakti Marga ashram in Germany, where five years of
monastic life and study led to him being given the title of Rishi by his Guru. In 2024 he
became an official Atma Kriya Yoga teacher, and today he divides his time between the Bhakti
Marga Centers in California and New York, teaching and sharing the path of devotion with
seekers on their own spiritual journey.
