Description
Welcome to this most unique Retreat with Paramahamsa Vishwananda – in which He will teach the Guru Gita and provide His commentary in a personal and most relatable manner in Bali. Palau Dewata is the only Hindu-majority province in Indonesia, where 90% of the population adheres to Balinese Hinduism, often referred to as the “Land of Gods.”
During your 13-day stay, you will be accommodated alongside Paramahamsa Vishwananda, in a wonderful hotel nestled in nature. Those applying for this package will explore the island during the first two days (without Gurudev) using minibuses and on foot, visiting some of the most ancient temples of the island and exploring world heritage Hindu sites that are unique to Bali. You will also join a Kecak Dance featuring traditional Balinese music.
For the following 10 days, we will be in the presence of Paramahamsa Vishwananda, staying in the same hotel, sharing lunches, dinners, and evenings together. During the day, we will join His Guru Gita teachings in a specially chosen location.
Only around 100 people will be able to stay in that proximity to Paramahamsa Vishwananda, sharing the same accommodation and travel back and forth in mini buses.
Please note: there is also an option to join the Guru Gita Teachings only, without staying with Paramahamsa Vishwananda himself in the same place. To choose this option, please join our “Guru Gita Teachings 2025” website.

Teacher
Paramahamsa Sri Swami Vishwananda
Paramahamsa Sri Swami Vishwananda is a God-realised Master who lives in constant union with the Divine. His mission is to ‘open the hearts of humanity’. He does this through His spiritual guidance, wisdom teachings, and divine grace and blessings.

Location & Accommodation
While staying near Denpasar, we will find ourselves in a region often referred to as the cultural heart of Bali. The presence of 900-year-old murtis adds to the beauty of this natural area, making it the religious focal point of the island and drawing thousands of pilgrims each year.
