Satsaṅg: The Union of Bhakti, Rāja, and Jñāna Yoga

Satsaṅg is the union of bhakti, rāja, and jñāna yoga through singing truth.

Kīrtans repeat God’s name many times, connecting to devotion and surrender. Bhajans contain many truths, Ātmā Jñāna, and the path. One bhajan declares that time passes without God’s name. The mind must repeat the mantra to avoid stress. This is a healthy way of life. The webcast serves social health, leading to spiritual health. Collectively singing “Juga Juga” helps the health of a revered one. All wish first for health, then to see that one. Satsaṅg means sitting with truth by singing it. Groups from many regions contribute their voices. The teacher speaks little, allowing the singing to prevail. The truth is sung, not merely spoken. This union of yogas is practiced here. The way is yoga in the Indian tradition. Kriyā Sanātan Dharma lives through this practice.

“Your time is passing without God’s name. Oh my mind, repeat my mantra.”

Satsaṅg means to sit with the truth, and it means that we can sing this truth.”

Guruṁ Viṣṇu, Guruṁ Devo, Maheśvara, Guruṁ Sākṣāt Parabrahma, Tasmai Śrī Gurave Namaḥ. Oṁ Śāntiḥ, Śāntiḥ, Śāntiḥ. Hari Om, dear brothers and sisters. Hari Om, dear brothers and sisters. This is for the one who is sitting here in this beautiful ashram, the Śrī Mahāprabhujī Foundation in Strilky, Czech Republic, and to all those who are sitting before monitors or computers around the world through the webcast. For this evening, for this satsaṅg, we have chosen something very simple, but also very, very powerful. After so many Dhyāna yoga lectures and so many Rāja yoga disciplines, this evening we will somehow have bhakti, rāja, and jñāna yoga all together. This means we will have bhajans and we will have kīrtans, so we will be singing. Satsaṅg means to sit with the truth, and it means that we can sing this truth. With the kīrtans, we are singing God’s name and repeating it many, many, many times. This connects more with bhakti, with surrendering. And on the other side, we will sing bhajans in which there are many, many truths—again, jñāna, Ātmā Jñāna, and, of course, the path. So the bhajans contain the great truth, Jñāna, Ātmā Jñāna, and the path of truth. We will begin, so I will not talk so much. We will begin with our Mira from Brno, a very near city. Oṁ Śrī Dīp Nārāyaṇa Bhagavān, Akī, Chāyā. I’m calling someone else, please change your number. A little quicker, because we have only one hour. But in the meantime, I can say, "Guru Deva Mere, Jabba Pa Sakkare, Me A Sakkaru, Ki Sakki, Ki Sakki." Here is my guru; to whom should I hope? I will see when I find the one who is already in my heart, who is thanking my hair, and who is with me. To whom should I wait for? Oṁ Śrī Dīp Nārāyaṇa Bhagavān Kī Jaya, Śrī Paramahaṁsa Yogīrāj Maheśvarānanda Viśvaguru Deva Kī Jaya. Thank you. And now, a group from North America, Canada, and the USA. But until they begin, I would like just to say—is not this bhajan the one which talks very shortly about everything that Swāmī Chidānandjī and again Swāmī Gajānandjī were talking about this morning? It is. Thank you very much. Your time is passing without God’s name. Oh my mind, repeat my mantra. This is the way to be without stress, or better, living a healthy way of life. And now from Hamburg, Savitri. Oṁ Bule Śrī Dīp Nārāyaṇa Bhagavān Kī Jaya, Svāmī Madhavānandajī Bhagavān Kī Jaya. Thank you, Sāvitrī. And now, Pushpa from Mexico, representing Mexico. Oṁ Śrī Dīp Nārāyaṇa Bhagavān Kī Jai, Śrī Mādhav Kṛṣṇa Bhagavān Kī Jai. And now, Slovenian group. I would like to call all groups together. Yes, only one in the end. And now, sorry, but we have little time, so I will invite the Croatian representative and the one from New Zealand, both together. Together, here, now. So, until they are coming, I would like to say a few words. No, no, wait. And it is that, however, whatever we have today and many other days as a webcasting, it serves for social health and, in the end, for spiritual health. But anyhow, he is with us because we are thinking of him, and I think that he is thinking of us too. And it was said that when we are singing "Juga Juga," then we are all helping his health. As we are so many and our strength is very strong, we will all sing "Juga Juga" to you, Swamiji, and of course, every one of us wishes first to be healthy, and then to see you. On the second place, it is for us to see you. This is a spiritual lecture about Yoga in the Indian tradition. Kriyā Sanātan Dharma kī Jai. Thank you that you were with us. Hari Om. Good night.
