September 12 and 13, 2024 - 50 years of Vishwaguruji and 'Yoga in daily life - Salzburg'

Vishwaguruji has been coming to Salzburg for 50 years and he has held countless seminars, lectures and satsangs there. He is the reason why a yoga group was formed and an ashram was created in 2009. He received honors from the city and state of Salzburg for His services to Salzburg.

First day celebration accompanied by Swami Avatar Puriji and with a Skype visit from Swami Premanandaji from India. The slide show offered a look into the 50-year history of the yoga group with pictures of activities and events from the past years: exciting world peace festivals, charity-flea markets, the planting of wild fruit trees, interreligious peace prayers, international yoga days, yoga in the park and many other beautiful memories.

To great joy for Salzburg YIDL group, Vishwaguruji was present on the second day of the festival. In the beginning everybody enjoyed a performance by Bhakti Devi, who performed classical Bharatanatyam dances. Young yogis participated in celebration with a spiritual story and a video clip and moving words and songs have given everything a special feel.

Vishwaguruji welcomed and blessed each and every participant. In His speech He said  “We are all one.” Like the song that was sung  “To leave the sun is he fate of a ray. Wherever you go, whatever you do still sun and ray are one not two.”

Croatia also received a blessing in a form of short visit to Split area.The devotees of Split were overjoyed because this beautiful city is many kilometers away from Vienna or Strilky, so Gurudev's darshan is rare oportunity for them. Warmly welcomed to Croatia were also Swami Avatarpuriji, Mahamandaleshwar Swami Phulpuriji and Swami Umapuriji.
