Barsana Dham

Bhakti Yoga is for Your Whole Being - Body, Mind and Soul. Come practice yoga at Barsana Dham.

According to Vedic knowledge, every soul has a very specific desire: to experience supreme happiness and perfect love. We search for that perfection in our careers, families, hobbies, and intellectual pursuits. But the fact is that perfect love is not material; it is Divine. Only experience of the Divine can give us perfect happiness. The prime reason of discontent in our lives is our failure to recognize the persistent desire of our soul for spiritual fulfillment.

The wisdom of the Bhagvad Gita and the teachings of Divine personalities help us to understand the true nature of our self. They guide us to realize that we are "body, mind and soul" not merely physical beings. Yoga can help us to enhance our physical and mental well being, and satsang (association with the Divine) nourishes our soul gracing us to experience the truth that every soul is essentially Divine.

The Spiritual Masters of the rasik tradition of India teach us how to open our heart and experience the omnipresent power of Divine love. They explain the path of divine-love-consciousness, a natural process that helps us to gradually become more calm, peaceful, and contented. Divine-love-consciousness is not something that is separate from life. It makes life worth living, because it appears as a sweetness that can be tasted in every step of life.
