1:30 - 2:02 (32 min)

Evening satsang with Vishwaguruji from Jadan Ashram, Rajasthan, India. Swami Gyaneshwar's report from Jadan. You know, I've been living in India for a while now. If you come to Jadan from Jaipur, you will feel the special atmosphere, the peace of the place. In the minds of Indian sages, secular and spiritual knowledge go hand in hand. Karma yoga is selfless help. In Jadan, there is always the possibility to continue the work. In the West, people are used to being alone at any time, so it is difficult to work together with others. Chanting bhajans creates the emotional basis for karma yoga.

"Satsaṅg means together... We should think only one, only one, and how? We are so many, and that is only one, yes, because that is yours for all."
Swami Avatarpuri (Swāmījī) addresses a gathering, explaining the profound meaning of satsaṅg by breaking it into sat (truth, purity) and saṅg (togetherness).
