In today’s world, where there’s so much noise, finding a moment to just be is more important than ever.

On the 18th of April, we were blessed to host a special seminar in Vienna called 'Mindfulness Amid Mayhem'. It was a beautiful evening filled with reflection, peace, and spirituality.

We are truly grateful to Pujya Paramtattva Swami for sharing such heartfelt guidance and practical wisdom on how we can find inner stillness, no matter how busy life becomes.

Swami drew from the sacred teachings of the Shrimad Bhagavad Purana, Bhagwan Swaminarayan, and our beloved Gurus, offering us simple tools to stay balanced. He encouraged us to see life in three ways:

• Antar Drashti – insight into the soul, helping us connect with who we truly are
• Ant Drashti – foresight of the world, guiding us to act wisely in our daily lives
• Anant Drashti – seeing God all around us, reminding us of His constant presence

This evening reminded us that, even in the chaos, peace is found when we stay anchored in faith and connected to God. ✨️

On Saturday, 7 March 2026, the BAPS Mahila Mandal in Vienna gathered to celebrate International Women's Day around the theme Celebrating Women: Give to Gain. 🪔

Inspired by the teachings of Mahant Swami Maharaj, we spent time with Ek bija no mahima samajvo, beautifully brought to life through heartfelt prasangs. A quiet guided reflection and an interactive guna-sharing activity invited everyone to pause and genuinely appreciate the people around them. The Share a Skill session was a highlight of the afternoon, with participants generously sharing threading tips and the art of making tiramisu balls 🍫, while a soulful kirtan brought a beautiful note of devotion to close the day.
