Satsang means ‘to keep the company of Truth’. In Swami Shankarananda’s (Swamiji or Guruji’s) company we hear the universal teachings of the great beings and the inner Self. Satsang is a program dedicated to higher consciousness, ancient wisdom for daily life, and connecting with the clear space of good feeling within everyone.

What is satsang?
Go the way of the shakti
Speaking generally, spiritual practice involves two movements – affirming the highest reality on the one hand, and addressing practical problems in everyday life on the other. Although the ashram honors each of these approaches, satsang is a time to leave personal dramas behind, and bask in the Self and the great Shakti (spiritual energy) of our tradition. In any case, satsang is extremely elevating, and from an expanded state of consciousness, we might find that we are in a better place to deal with the challenges of life, or perhaps these challenges might dissolve altogether.
Whether you have never visited the ashram before, you’re a Learn to Meditate graduate or a long-time member of the ashram community, we invite you to attend this program as a way of continuing and deepening your meditation and spiritual practice.
Enjoy Swamiji’s illuminating talks on the philosophy of meditation and yoga, as he draws on a variety of traditions, texts and Great Beings, including:
- Baba Muktananda
- Bhagavan Nityananda
- Ramana Maharshi
- Nisargadatta Maharaj
- Anandamayi Ma
- G. I. Gurdjieff
- Sri Aurobindo
- Suzuki Roshi
- Yoga Vasistha
- Epictetus
Satsang begins at 7:15pm with some relaxed music or chanting. An MC will introduce and guide us through the evening’s program, including a chance to meet Swamiji and Devi Ma. Swamiji will share his talk on a great being, and then lead us into meditation.
