For users located outside the European Union (EU) and the European Economic Area (EEA), audiovisual content may additionally be distributed or made accessible by Bhakti Marga America acting as an independent controller under applicable non-EU laws. No joint controllership pursuant to Article 26 GDPR exists between Bhakti Event GmbH and Bhakti Marga America. Recordings may furthermore be published worldwide through official Bhakti Marga channels and platforms, including the Bhakti+ App, Bhakti Marga websites, YouTube, Facebook, Instagram, Flickr and other official media channels. Some service providers or platforms may be located outside the EU/EEA. The processing and publication of photo and video recordings are generally based on your voluntary consent pursuant to Article 6(1)(a) GDPR. In certain cases, recordings may additionally be processed on the basis of contractual agreements concluded with participants, speakers, teachers, performers, volunteers or other contributors pursuant to Article 6(1)(b) GDPR. Participation in the event is possible without granting consent to the publication of recordings, unless the creation or use of recordings forms part of a separately agreed contractual activity. Any consent granted may be withdrawn at any time with future effect. Further information regarding the processing of personal data, international data transfers and your rights as a data subject can be found in the applicable Privacy Policy.

I agree that Bhakti Event GmbH may take photos and videos of me during the event and use them for publication on Bhakti Marga’s official channels — including the Bhakti Marga website, Facebook, YouTube, Flickr, the Bhakti+ App, and other Bhakti Marga media platforms — for documentation or promotional purposes. Some of these platforms (for example YouTube, operated by Google LLC, USA) are based outside the European Union. This may involve the transfer of personal data (e.g. video, audio, user interactions) to a third country where the level of protection may not be equivalent to the GDPR. In particular, US authorities may have access to such data without providing the same enforceable rights and remedies available in the EU. My consent is voluntary. I understand that I can refuse to give consent or withdraw it at any time with future effect, without affecting the lawfulness of processing based on consent before its withdrawal. To exercise my data-protection rights, I can contact dataprotection@bhaktimarga.org.

I agree that Bhakti Event GmbH may livestream the event, including images and sound of me as a participant, on Bhakti Marga’s online platforms and social-media channels such as YouTube, Facebook, and the Bhakti+ App. Livestreams may be hosted on third-party platforms such as YouTube (Google LLC, USA). This may involve the transfer of personal data to a country outside the EU where the same level of protection under the GDPR cannot be guaranteed, and where US authorities may have access to such data. My consent is voluntary. I understand that I can refuse to give consent or withdraw it at any time with future effect, without affecting the lawfulness of processing based on consent before its withdrawal. To exercise my data-protection rights, I can contact dataprotection@bhaktimarga.org.

I agree that recordings of me may be edited, archived, and later made available as video-on-demand content (making recordings available to the public at times and places of the user’s choice). These recordings may be published on the Bhakti Marga website, YouTube channel, Facebook page, the Bhakti+ App, or other platforms operated by Bhakti Marga or its media partners. I consent to the editing, publication, distribution, and making publicly available (in whole or in part) of such recordings. Some of these services may be hosted by providers located in the United States (e.g. YouTube, Google LLC). This may involve the storage or processing of data on servers where the GDPR level of protection does not apply, and public authorities in such countries may have access to the data. My consent is voluntary. I understand that I can refuse to give consent or withdraw it at any time with future effect, without affecting the lawfulness of processing based on consent before its withdrawal. To exercise my data-protection rights, I can contact dataprotection@bhaktimarga.org.

Frequently asked questions

What is Darshan and what can I experience at the event?

Darshan is a personal blessing received from Paramahamsa Vishwananda. Each registered attendee will have the opportunity to receive a personal one-to-one blessing from Guruji. Please remain at the venue and follow the guidance of the Darshan team until you have received your blessing. Along with Darshan, enjoy uplifting kirtan, explore the Bhakti Marga shop and vendor stalls, connect with fellow devotees and visitors, and share a meal included in your registration fee.

Is the Darshan blessing free and what does the registration/event contribution cover?

Yes. The Darshan blessing itself is freely given by Guruji. The registration/event contribution assists with the costs associated with organising and hosting the event. Final pricing and applicable terms will be displayed before payment.

What registration categories are available and what do VIP/VVIP include?

The categories are General Entry, Pensioners, Children under 10, VIP and VVIP. Prices, eligibility requirements, seating areas and the exact benefits of VIP/VVIP are still being confirmed. What each category includes, and does not include, will be shown here once confirmed.

How do seating, priority access and wristband colours work?

Check in at Registration to confirm your booking and receive your wristband. VIP/VVIP does not guarantee earlier Darshan. Elderly attendees, wheelchair users/persons with disabilities, those who are sick, pregnant women and parents with young children will receive priority, subject to final national confirmation. Proposed wristband colours are Green for priority/special guests, Red for VVIP, Purple for VIP, Blue for General Entry and Black for the no-photo/no-video area (to be confirmed). The event team will guide attendees according to the confirmed seating, priority and Darshan movement plan.

Can I register my family/group together, and will everyone receive their own QR code?

Yes. One person can add multiple family/group members, select each attendee's event(s) and category, and complete one checkout. Each attendee is registered individually and receives their own confirmation/QR code.

What if I do not receive my booking confirmation or QR code?

First check your email inbox and spam/junk folder. If confirmation or a QR code is still missing, contact the Darshan registration support team at info@bhaktimarga.co.za. Your booking can also be verified against the attendee database at the on-site registration desk; please bring your booking/payment confirmation.

What time should I arrive, and can I register or pay at the venue?

Please arrive at least 45 minutes before the Darshan start time to allow sufficient time for parking, registration/check-in and receiving your wristband. On-site registration/payment will be available; however, advance online registration is recommended to minimise waiting time at the venue.

What accessibility and priority assistance is available?

Attendees requiring wheelchair or other accessibility assistance should indicate this during registration. Venue-specific accessibility, parking/route and contact information will be shared once confirmed. Priority assistance follows the process described above.

Can children attend?

Yes, children may attend subject to the final event registration terms. Children under 10 attend free (age rule to be confirmed). Please add each child as an attendee and choose the "Children under 10" category.

What if I need help, need to change/cancel my registration, or do not want to be photographed/filmed?

For registration, payment, confirmation or QR-code queries, please contact info@bhaktimarga.co.za or the relevant Cape Town, Durban or Johannesburg local contact listed above. The change, cancellation and refund policy is displayed before payment. Darshan events may include photography, videography and/or livestream coverage; media consent options are part of the registration form, and a designated no-photo/no-video arrangement will be confirmed.
