About Us

A Spiritual Home In the Heart of the Finger Lakes

Nestled in the quiet town of West Elmira, New York, the Paranitya Narasimha Ashram and Temple is a spiritual hub for seekers across America. The ashram is home to monastics and community members living a life in service to the Divine.

Offering daily prayers, lively spiritual discussion, dynamic devotional music, and space to learn or deepen the spiritual aspects of your yoga and meditation practice, the ashram is an oasis of spiritual nourishment amidst the landscape of our often busy lives.

The ashram is the focal point of Bhakti Marga America (a 501C3 religious corporation) founded by Paramahamsa Vishwananda, an enlightened Master whose mission is to ‘open the hearts of man’.

SPIRITUAL LIFE

The Largest Narasimha Temple in the USA

The new Paranitya Narasimha Temple was inaugurated in September 2023, and is now open to the public for daily prayers (see below for schedule). The temple is a testament to the Grace of the Divine which is present in each moment of our lives.

Temple Deities include: Paranitya Narasimha, Maha Lakshmi, Rukmini Panduranga, Ramanuja Acharya, Mahavatar Babaji, and Tulsi Devi. We pray all who visit the temple come closer to the Love of the Divine in their own heart and lives. Personal pujas available upon request (see contact form below).
