Bhakti Marga Center Springen
In September 2007, Bhakti Marga purchased the former seminar center of the trade union (ver.di) in Heidenrod-Springen (Hessen, Germany, near Frankfurt). The center is presently being thoroughly renovated and it should become a lively regional and at the same time international center of attraction for people who feel connected with the path of devotion. Many people will be touched and inspired thanks to the work of the Bhakti Marga center. The center should enable encounters between East and West both in terms of spirituality and religion, but also in terms of music and culture. A vast range of seminars (yoga, meditation, singing, art, advising, etc.) is planned to be offered there.
Naturally, Swami Vishwananda's activities will play an important role in the Bhakti Marga Center, such as Bhakti Kriya courses, darshans (blessings), satsangs (spiritual discussions, lectures), retreats (seminars) 
etc.
A separate web page about the «project Springen» will be posted soon providing
detailed information

Donations / Seva
In order to make the new center a reality, Bhakti Marga relies on help and dedication from many people. The center was standing idle for five years due to which it has to be renovated in a costly manner. Upon request we can equip you with a detailed list of what investment steps lie ahead.
