Sacred Temples of South Africa Pilgrimage

01 to 07 September 2025

South Africa holds a profound connection to Sanātana Dharma, woven through the history and culture of its people. Yet, much has been lost or misunderstood over time.

This pilgrimage is an invitation to rediscover, celebrate, and honor that sacred tradition. It is a journey of devotion, remembrance, and awakening, reminding us of the privilege we have to walk a path rooted in bhakti (loving devotion) and surrender to the Guru.

Join Swami VishwaParanthapananda and Parvathy Baul on this divine journey as we visit the historic temples built in South Africa. Through prayer, music, and sacred rituals, we reconnect with the essence of our spiritual heritage.

A pilgrimage of the heart. A journey of the soul. Come be a part of it.

Experience devotion, culture and heritage as we pay homage to these sacred sites, connect with tradition and engage in spiritual practices.

“Each pilgrimage you are going through a curtain of light where all your batteries which are inside of you, get energised. Each pilgrimage that you do, you are purifying yourself, you are eliminating lots of unwanted karma“. “ – Paramahamsa Vishwananda

Swami Vishwaparanthapananda was initiated by his Satguru, Premavatar Sri Swami Vishwananda in 2008 into the Bhakti Marga Order. Throughout his travels around the world, he is constantly sharing love, support and understanding to all he meets, about the nature of the mind, emotions and unconditional love.

Parvathy Baul is a Baul folk singer, musician and storyteller from Bengal and one of the leading Baul musicians in India.[1] Trained under Baul gurus, Sanatan Das Baul, Shashanko Goshai Baul in Bengal, she has been performing both in India and other countries since 1995.
