Satsang is a group of like-minded seekers of the Truth forming a spiritual community. At Arsha Drishti, we have been meeting bi-monthly for satsang with Swamiji’s students at different homes. Keeping in mind the spiritual upliftment of the aspirant, the objective of satsang is to ask the teacher questions to clarify and remove doubts and vagueness in an informal setting.
Since we have seen questions related specifically to Swamiji’s classes or any general topic on Vedanta, the topics of our satsangs have a great variety – from adhyāsa, how to handle issues we encounter on the path of our spiritual development, the workings of spiritual practices, questions regarding spiritual texts, and more.
In addition to this, our satsang sessions also includes devotional activities such as sharing musical talents or kirtans and bhajans lead by the group. Then session continues with vegan potluck bhikṣā lunch.
The answers Swamiji gives to address the Satsang questions provides food for the mind, the beautiful Carnatic music and bhajans provides food for the soul, and the yummy bhikṣā lunch provides food for the body.
Since April 2023, we have met a number of times at different homes in San Diego, and in Lake Forest/Irvine, California. Almost 20 students of Swamiji’s regularly join us in person, with more joining online. Overall, we become recharged after being in the company of Swamiji and like-minded seekers.
On top of our spiritual growth, it’s also about being part of Arsha Drishti family! These sessions open up our heart, quieten our mind, make our detachment process from the worldly life easier, and help us to lead a humble, selfless life in peace. In satsang, one always seeks to embrace the Truth. Please join us in future satsangs, either in-person or on-line. Don’t hesitate to ask questions as we all grow together getting more clarity.
