Bhakti Marga Order community
In 2005, under the guidance of Sri Swami Vishwananda, a Brahmachari community was founded. Brahmachari is a Sanskrit word which means to surrender completely to God and to make him the centre of ones life. Those who chose such a way of life strive, similarly to monks and nuns, for a life of both simplicity and chastity. To detach oneself of worldly needs shouldn't be an end in itself, but a means, to experience joy within the heart and to take on one's duties in life together with God.
The Brahmacharis and Brahmacharinis of Bhakti Marga vary greatly in age, culture, origin and background. Some live in a monastic community with regular daily routines and prayers in which they undertake certain tasks, according to their talents and abilities, or they work outside.
God always forms the centre of community life, and during prayer times all work stops.
Those who don't live in a community work in their professions and fulfil their individual duties. For them too, prayer and spiritual practice form a central part of their lives. Within their own means, they commit themselves to the work of Swami Vishwananda and to the wider community.
