What is Soul Awakening?
Soul Awakening is an intensive training ground that helps you remember who you truly are. It's a sacred immersion. Under the close guidance of Paramahamsa Vishwananda, this 4-day retreat is your chance to sail beyond your imagined limits and realign with your power and purpose.
Book my spot
You took birth. Then growing up, you forgot who you were. And the suffering started. You've read the books, sat with the teachers. You had the experiences — some mystical, some spontaneous, some so ordinary you almost missed them. And you're still looking for the answer. But now you’re ready.
Meet your guide
Paramahamsa Vishwananda
Kriya Yoga was never meant for the masses. For centuries, these sacred techniques were passed down in secret — from Master to disciple, through Kriya, knowledge, and transmission of energy. Today, that unbroken chain lives through Paramahamsa Vishwananda.
Receive initiation from Him
Disciple of Mahavatar Babaji
Paramahamsa Vishwananda received the knowledge of Kriya directly from the immortal Mahavatar Babaji.
Kriya with a realized Master is different
You can read about Kriya, watch videos, or even learn techniques from well-meaning teachers.
“Without transmission from a realized Master, we're just holding a map without the key”
Don't miss the opportunity to experience
Ready for real transformation?
Break the cycle of fear & doubt
Fear thrives on the illusion of separation. Through Atma Kriya Yoga, you gain experiential proof that the Divine is closer than your own breath. And fear dissolves.
Master your mind
You cannot fight the monkey mind and win. Instead, learn to harness its power using breath and mantra. Transform mental noise into single-pointed spiritual focus.
Lift your limitations
Strip away the shaky labels of success and failure. Through direct inquiry into the nature of the Atma (Soul), rediscover the authentic self that knows no limits.
Atma Kriya Yoga
Techniques you'll learn
With Satguru Vishwananda, you learn a lot more than just techniques - the Master awakens the energy within you that makes it work.
This is the difference between practicing for years with modest results and experiencing transformation from day one.

What participants say
The Depth We Crave
Longing for something real and authentic, my 16+ year journey as a yogic practitioner and teacher lead me to Atma Kriya Yoga and Paramahamsa Vishwananda. In a world where we press a button, instantly gaining access to things, I think many are craving more depth, more sincerity in life. The way Paramahamsa Vishwananda transmits this ancient , timeless yoga is that rare and real gem I think every soul is calling for. Soul Awakening is beyond just a one time offer but becomes a life long companion which keeps us attuned with our deepest purpose.
Transformation That Lasts
Atma Kriya Yoga isn't just techniques, it is a living blessing that will change your life. This ancient yogic system has been revived for modern times and infused with Bhakti - Kriya-yoga was created by Masters who had done just that, mastered themselves inside and out, and it has the capability to change us from the core of our being, and those changes are permanent. Kriya-yoga has the capability to change our core beliefs and reality by giving us control over ourselves, and our minds, even in the most difficult of times. The transcendental wisdom of Bhakti Yoga transmits something deep into our being. Bhakti is what our world needs today, in order to transform. The sacred practice is given with the blessing of Shaktipat - a direct transmission of grace from a living Master. It carries a sacred lineage that is very, very rarely found on earth today.
A Transformative Teaching
In over 17 years of personal practice and study of Yoga, I haven't come across more powerful teachings than those imparted by Paramahamsa Vishwananda. His teachings have gifted me with knowledge that has truly shaped and transformed my life. Atma Krīya Yoga has shown me how to live with deeper trust, confidence, more clarity and a sustainable balance in life that supports a sense of greater purpose.
Clarity From Within
Atma Kriya Yoga came into my life through the grace of Mahavatar Babaji and my meeting with Guruji. Before that, Kriya Yoga was only something I had read about, never practiced. Through Atma Kriya Yoga, I experienced deep purification and inner clarity. The practice helps me calm the mind, open the heart, and become more aligned with my true self. It gives me the strength and awareness to serve God more sincerely in daily life. For me, Atma Kriya Yoga is a powerful and loving path of transformation.
It's a weapon
It keeps me in good health, keeps me good on the inside, and I use these techniques to keep my personal life on form. I took the course and do the exercises every day. If you don't, the stress starts... I feel the difference. Inside, to be well, it's a weapon that I have.
Space of deep connection & purpose
Atma Kriya Yoga has given me so much inner peace and serenity. My mind used to be overactive and I would often feel stressed or anxious without actually noticing it because I was so used to this state of being. My practice helps me to find calm and just pure enjoyment of the moment. It opens up this space of deep connection, purpose and light for me and puts everything else into perspective. It has changed me as a person and I can see that in everything that I do, how I respond to situations and the energy that I feel around me.
Shaktipat
Transmission of grace and power
Shaktipat is the moment when the Master awakens the dormant energy within you. During Soul Awakening, you'll receive Shaktipat from Paramahamsa Vishwananda directly.
Shaktipat does what decades of practice alone cannot. It activates the dormant energy within your soul that supports your spiritual evolution for the rest of your life.

Soul awakening is for everyone, from those just starting on their spiritual journey to seasoned practitioners.

The online Soul Awakening does not include access to the physical venue, meals, or in-person shaktipat initiation with Paramahamsa Vishwananda.
