Paramahamsa Sri Swami Vishwananda was born in 1978 and connected to his spirituality from a very young age. By age 14, he had experienced the state of ‘Samadhi,’ or enlightenment, and soon after that, started his devotional mission in the world. In 2005, Sri Swami Vishwananda founded the spiritual order ‘Bhakti Marga’, whose main ashram, Shree Peetha Nilaya, is based in Germany. In 2015, he became the first spiritual leader based in Europe to receive the Mahamandaleshwar title.

The Mahamandaleshwar title represents spiritual leadership and is one of the most prestigious honors to be awarded to a spiritual leader. People with this designation are considered to be guardians of the Hindu faith. The great ancient guru, Adi Shankaracharya created this post sometime in the ninth century to protect Hindu traditions from religious threat.

The Mahamandaleshwar ceremony took place during the 2015 Kumbh Mela festival in Nashik, India. The ceremony was attended by many spiritual devotees from Hindu traditions and Paramahamsa Vishwananda received acknowledgment from the leaders of all four of the Vaishnava Sampradaya lineages--a remarkable endorsement.
