What is Satsang?
Satsang (सत्सङ्ग sat-saṅga) means association, coming together, or connection with “sat“. The word “sat” means several things: good people, fellow travelers on the spiritual path, a saintly person, a teacher, or it can refer to Truth itself.
So satsang means gathering together of mumukṣu-s, spiritual seekers, with a teacher for the sake of understanding and assimilation of the vision of Vedanta. It is unstructured time to ask questions of a teacher to remove doubts and vagueness. This process of clarifying one’s understanding is called mananam and is an integral part of Vedanta sādhana or spiritual practice.
