Welcome

A family of souls, not merely a congregation

The Great Hindu Sabha UK is part of the Hariprabodham Parivar — the global spiritual family established by HDH Hariprasad Swamiji Maharaj through the Yogi Divine Society, and today guided by HDH Prabodhjivan Swamiji Maharaj.

Our mandirs in London, Leicester and Bristol are places where scripture is studied, festivals are celebrated with joy, young people find their roots, and every visitor is received as family. The heart of everything we do is atmiyata — the recognition that all souls belong to one another.

Whether you have practised for a lifetime or are simply curious, you are warmly welcome to join us.

Our Foundations

Three principles that shape our sabha

Taught by our gurus and practised in daily life, these ideals turn a place of worship into a family.

Bhakti

Devotion

Daily worship, aarti, kirtan and scripture that keep God at the centre of everyday life.

Atmiyata

Divine kinship

Seeing every soul as our own family — the founding spirit of the Hariprabodham Parivar.

Suhradbhav

Goodwill of heart

Choosing understanding over judgement, so homes and communities remain harmonious.
