Darshan Guidelines

Please read the guidelines below before attending Darshan.

On meeting Swami

When greeting a spiritually divine soul such as Swami, it is customary to place your hands together in the prayer position – “Namaste”.

Silence

Please maintain silence or meditate while waiting for Darshan with Swami.

Dress

Dress modestly in clean, comfortable clothing, with long trousers or long skirt.

Children

Swami warmly welcomes children. Parents and carers are asked to encourage children to sit quietly.

Photos

In general, please do not take photos of Swami without his permission.

Touching Swami

Please refrain from touching Swami.

Mobile phones

Please switch off or mute mobile phones.

Alcohol & cigarettes

It is requested that you do not drink alcohol, smoke, or take recreational drugs before Darshan.

Publication

Photos and videos may be taken during events for publication on Swami’s websites. Please let the organiser know if you do not wish to be in these.

During Darshan

Each visitor who comes to see Swami is given adequate time to talk. Visitors can ask questions of a spiritual nature, work or family related questions, or ask for a blessing.

After Darshan

You are welcome to sit in the common area in silence or meditation.

Donations

There is no charge for Darshan, but donations for Swami’s humanitarian work are always welcome.
