WELCOME TO SHREE PEETHA NILAYA

“…this place, when we moved here, Maha-Lakshmi blessed this place and said, ‘I shall reside here.’ That’s why it’s called Shree Peetha Nilaya, the place where Maha-Lakshmi resides, where Sri resides. And where Sri is, Narayana is also. Narayana can’t be away from Sri.”

– Paramahamsa Vishwananda
