BANGALORE:
It’s a posh locality, reflected neither in the house nor its interiors
at Sadashivnagar. For many a skeptic, it discloses the child-like simplicity
and modesty of a globe-trotting 50-year-old Guruji Vishwanath.
Miracles
continue to happen in the lives of his followers. “That is defying
the forces of nature, what’s wrong in taking up the challenge?”
the articulate guru declares.
There
is nothing spiritual in his teachings, nothing to be followed blindly.
Guruji Vishwanath will even agree there is nothing called ‘spirituality’
- seeking solutions for your problems in life itself is spirituality.

He could
even tell you, “No one wants God...God is nothing but a concept of
reality.” About religion, “Truth can create any number of religions.
It is a means which has given us intelligence to survive.”
Simple
thoughts for a reasonable living. Guruji Vishwanath is seen as a bridge
between traditional values and jet age living. His centre - Manava Seva
Kendra - has been working since 1985 towards realisation of the self,
through physical, mental and intellectual faculties.
A hospital
and research centre for alternative medicine, Institution for Globalisation
and Human Values, free yoga camp for women, relaxation and awareness
workshops are the many projects taken up by the Kendra.
An auditor
by vocation, the Tirunelveli (TN)-born Guruji moved to the city decades
ago. Mystical experiences during early life impelled him to become a
sincere seeker of truth.
