SATSANG—COMMUNION WITH TRUTH

The major program at every ashram is Satsang, where devotees gather to imbibe Master’s transforming spiritual discourses. The words of the Master resonate within the mind and heart of the listener, awakening the inner wisdom that liberates the soul. Literally “communion with Truth” (from the Sanskrit), Satsang is the direct and awakening communication of the Satguru with each soul to realize our oneness with the Divine. In the Light ascreen-shot-2016-10-17-at-8-58-01-pmnd solace of His truth, we emerge purified, renewed and inspired on our spiritual journey.
