Sat sanga
The power of satsaṅga lies in gathering in truth. The recent global hardship was a manifestation of Kali Yuga, a dark age where everything breaks. I was traveling but was sent to my home country. Through it all, we were with God, who provides. "Sat" means truth. A Satguru embodies this truth. Many practice yoga and follow gurus, each with a name and lineage. We are all human, yet distinctions exist through names and relationships. In the ashram, you become family. Satsaṅga is the company of truth, where we are all together in goodness. This gathering is a satsaṅg. Maintaining this truthful connection requires constant practice, or it is lost when you leave. The physical body is temporary and turns to dust. The name, however, endures beyond the body, like a memory that remains after a person is gone. Therefore, hold to the truth of the name. Satsaṅga is truth together.
"Sat means truth, and this truth is like that."
"The body will slowly, slowly go... but your name will not go anywhere."
