Pujya Swami Avatar Puri Ji’s Autumn-Winter Journey through Austria, Czech Republic, Slovenia & Croatia

As the leaves turned and the days grew colder, Pujya Swami Avatar Puri Ji began a heartfelt spiritual journey across Europe - one that carried the living light of Om Sri Alakhpuriji Siddha Peeth Parampara through satsangs, seva, and moments of unity in Austria, Czech Republic, Slovenia, and Croatia. From the first evening in Vienna to the final farewell satsang in Ljubljana, every step reflected the deep presence of tradition, inner growth, and the joy of spiritual family coming together in the light of Sri Vishwaguruji and the Parampara.

Each gathering became a space where hearts opened, wisdom was shared, and devotion was lived.

A Joyful Arrival – Satsang in Vienna

The European journey began with a beautiful evening satsang in Guruji Ashram, Vienna, where bhaktas gathered to welcome Pujya Maharaj Ji. The evening flowed with bhajans, blessings of Vishwaguruji, and reflection - a gentle beginning filled with unity and peace.

“Where hearts gather in devotion, every evening becomes a blessing." Pujya Swami Avatar Puri Ji

It was a perfect start to the programs ahead, setting the tone for a journey not only across countries, but deeper into the inner path.

Mahasamadhi Day - Darshan at Mahaprabhuji’s Ashram in Vienna

Before continuing to the weekend seminar in Strilky, Pujya Swami Avatar Puri Ji visited Mahaprabhuji’s Ashram in Vienna on a special occasion — the Mahasamadhi Day of Sri Deep Narayan Mahaprabhuji, according to the sun calendar.

This ashram holds historic significance, as it was here that Sri Vishwaguruji lit the first Deepak in Europe over three decades ago - a moment that continues to shine as a symbol of Sat Sanatan Dharma spreading in the West.

By visiting the ashram on this sacred day, Pujya Maharaj Ji continued the tradition lived by Gurudev Sri Vishwaguruji - a visible reminder of the love, reverence, and continuity that defines Guru Parampara.

“When tradition is lived with devotion, it becomes a living flame that shines across generations." Pujya Swami Avatar Puri Ji

Weekend Seminar in Strilky – Honouring Sri Mahaprabhuji

The Weekend Seminar in Strilky began with deep spiritual feeling, as bhaktas from many countries came together to honour the Mahasamadhi of Sri Deep Narayan Mahaprabhuji.

Pujya Swami Avatar Puri Ji led a powerful evening satsang, full of remembrance, prayer, and reflection on Mahaprabhuji’s life and teachings.

“Remembering the saints keeps their light alive within us.” Pujya Swami Avatar Puri Ji

The following day brought even more blessings, as all present received Darshan of Sri Vishwaguruji via video call - a moment that uplifted every heart and reaffirmed the unbroken connection between Guru and disciple, no matter the distance.

“Where there is devotion, distance disappears - only the Guru’s grace remains.”

Farewell from Strilky – A Spiritual Family United

Before continuing on to Slovenia, a farewell satsang was held in Strilky, bringing together all the bhaktas one last time in that space of devotion. The evening was heartfelt - filled with gratitude, bhajans, and shared joy.

As always, satsang did not mark an ending, but the beginning of the next step forward - strengthened by unity and the blessings of Parampara.

“Every ending in satsang becomes the beginning of new blessings on the path ahead.”

Sat Sanatan Dharma & Community - Meeting with the Hindu Religious Community in Slovenia

In Slovenia, Pujya Maharaj Ji met with leaders and members of the Hindu Religious Community, to discuss future spiritual programs, community development, and Sat Sanatan Dharma projects across the country.

This meeting reflected the growing presence of Sanatan Dharma in Europe, and the shared intention to bring more opportunities for spiritual learning and service.

“When hearts come together for Dharma, new pathways of service naturally unfold.”

Conscious Living – Opening of Plantea Restaurant in Zagreb

In Croatia, Pujya Swami Avatar Puri Ji officially opened Plantea, a new vegetarian and vegan restaurant in Zagreb, created with devotion by Narsing Puri Ji of Slovenia under the guidance and inspiration of Sri Vishwaguruji.

In his speech, Pujya Maharaj Ji said:

“It is wonderful to see a vegetarian and vegan restaurant in today’s world of Maya. Gurudev has always encouraged this lifestyle, and it brings joy to see more places supporting it. The design here also reminds me of the gobar walls in India - warm in winter, and full of purity.”

The opening was a joyful celebration - attended by Mahamandaleshwar Swami Vivekpuriji, Swami Anandiji, and many bhaktas, all enjoying delicious sattvic food prepared with love and care. It was more than a restaurant launch; it was a celebration of compassion, conscious living, and Gurudev’s vision coming to life.

A Graceful Closing – Final Satsang in Ljubljana

The final satsang of the 2025 European Tour was held in Ljubljana, Slovenia. It was a peaceful and beautiful gathering - filled with light, gratitude, and devotion.

Many bhaktas came to offer their thanks, and to receive Pujya Maharaj Ji’s blessings of the Om Sri Alakhpuriji Siddha Peeth Parampara before his return. The evening was a reminder of the strength of satsang, the light of Sri Vishwaguruji, and how deeply the path of Dharma connects us - even across countries and languages.

“Thank you for everything. Until we meet again - may your hearts stay in the light of Vishwaguruji." Pujya Swami Avatar Puri Ji

Returning Home to Gurudev – The Source of Every Step

After completing this short but deeply fulfilling UK and Europe tour, Pujya Swami Avatar Puri Ji returned to the divine presence of Sri Vishwaguruji - carrying with him the blessings, love, and prayers of countless bhaktas from across the continent.

Upon his return, Pujya Maharaj Ji lovingly offered a mala to Gurudev - a silent, humble expression of gratitude, surrender, and devotion. It was a moment full of quiet joy and emotion - a visible reflection of the invisible thread that connects disciple and Guru beyond time and space.

“Distances dissolve where devotion lives - the Guru and disciple are never apart.”
