The Power of Satsaṅg: Finding Joy through Divine Name and Daily Practice

The power of satsaṅg brings joy through the divine name and daily practice.

Every living being desires happiness, yet material wealth and high positions bring only restlessness, not lasting peace. Saints incarnate to offer the tool of satsaṅg, which immediately grants peace and joy. Chanting God’s name is easy—the tongue is given to all—yet humans still wander toward suffering; this is the greatest wonder. Satsaṅg has two forms: live gatherings with saints and masters, and personal practice at home with sacred books and bhajans. As food is needed daily for the body, daily bhajan is needed for the mind. Devoting one hour to God each day removes mental distress, tension, and depression. The mind is restless and requires constant good occupation; without satsaṅg, it leads into delusion. A story illustrates: a demon must be kept busy climbing up and down a bamboo, or it destroys. Similarly, the mind, if not given satsaṅg, strays into harm. Following the Guru’s every instruction is essential; mere belief without obedience blocks progress. The glory of the name is supreme, and chanting the mantra given by Gurudev becomes the central practice. Then life fills with joy and purpose, and the divine path unfolds naturally.

“Sulabhaṁ ca Bhagavannāma jihvācāvartinī, tathāpi narakaṁ yānti kim āścaryam ataḥ param.”

“Dholat aur mahal kha jānā, sab yahī rah jāve re... anta samay jīva jāya akelā, sāth nahī āve re.”

Saccidānanda, Ānandakanda, Parabrahma Paramātmā, who is the very form of the cause of the entire creation, who dwells in every particle, the knower of Brahman, the illuminator of that divine tradition—at the holy feet of that supreme, best of the supremely divine tradition, the great divine being, I bow. Ever worthy of morning remembrance, worship, and salutation, the knower of Brahman, the crest jewel of supreme detachment, Viśvaguru Mahāmaṇḍaleśvara, supremely worshipful Śrī Gurudeva Bhagavān—with salutations at His holy feet. This sacred and auspicious occasion on which we have all gathered, this holy day, has come bearing a deep inspiration for all of our lives. In this event, our dear Gurujī, Swāmī Avatārapurī Jī, all the saints, the saṅkīrtan parties, the mātṛ-śaktis, and all the devotees from across the world—welcome. Look at the world: from a tiny ant to an elephant, every living being desires happiness. Tell me, does it desire happiness or not? Yes or no? Even an ant, what does it do for itself? In winter, it gathers grains—whatever grains come to it. Mahārāj, how will happiness be attained? What effort should be made for happiness? We too, when we sit here, we put on a fan to get a little breeze, we arrange nice lights, a sofa, and a beautiful carpet. So what does every creature need? Happiness. But how will happiness be attained? Can it be attained through the material objects of the world? Can anyone, by acquiring great wealth, a high position, or vast knowledge, find lasting happiness? However high a post one may attain in the world, one always remains restless. Who is a greater wealth-owner than Ambani in India? Tell me. Yet, I doubt that he sleeps peacefully even for a second, thinking constantly, “How to earn money?” So what is the solution? That is why Dādā Gurudev Bhagavān says that to bring happiness to every living being, saints and great masters incarnate. And after incarnating, what do they tell us? They give us the tool of satsaṅg, through which one truly experiences happiness. Now, tell me, how much joy are you feeling right now? Is there any joy or not? Any experience of happiness? These are the effects of satsaṅg—the influence of satsaṅg that grants a person peace. So you have come to satsaṅg, but what must you do after coming? You must not merely talk or sit; you must chant the name of God. In the satsaṅg that is happening, either sing bhajans; if you cannot sing, then at least… Look, let me tell you a surprise. What is the surprise? You all know the wonders of the world, right? There are eight wonders, but what is the wonder of Paramātmā? Sulabhaṁ ca Bhagavannāma jihvācāvartinī, tathāpi narakaṁ yānti kim āścaryam ataḥ param. Look around: Has God not given everyone a tongue and the power of speech? Say “Rām,” say “Jai Dīp Nārāyaṇ Bhagavān.” The tongue is given to all. So taking the divine name is easy—sulabhaṁ ca Bhagavannāma. Is it easy or difficult to chant God’s name? You can chant “Rām Rām,” can’t you? Sitting, standing—does chanting “Rām Rām” cause any pain? I feel that even someone suffering bodily pain will find that pain relieved by chanting Rām’s name. Thus, taking God’s name is easy. What is the tongue’s function? To speak. If you come to satsaṅg, you will listen to bhajans and sing bhajans. But if you go to a drunkard, you will hear abuse and criticism. Yet the tongue is the same. With this tongue, you can sing the devotional songs of God, praise the saints, chant the divine name—or you can criticize and abuse. But the greatest surprise is this: Taking God’s name is so easy, it is the very work of the tongue, and yet, having come into the world, humans still travel to hell. Nothing could be more astonishing. That is why we must avoid hell. And what must we do to avoid hell? The name that Gurujī and Bhagavān have given us, we must continually chant. That is why great masters come. Why do they come? When Dādā Gurudev Bhagavān came into the world, we celebrate His holy anniversary. Why do we celebrate? Is it only to eat a feast? To partake of prasāda? To have darśana of Gurujī? That is not the only reason. The special purpose is: what inspiration do these great masters bring into our lives, and how do they transform our lives? Dādā Gurudev Bhagavān has said: “Dholat aur mahal kha jānā, sab yahī rah jāve re. Dhan, dholat aur mahal, sab yahī, anta samay jīva jāya akelā, sāth nahī āve re. Chet, chet, abh jīvā gyānī avasar jāve re, rosam jāve re.” Everything in the world, Mahārāj, will remain here. Everyone knows this, but even knowing, what must be done? Satsaṅg. But, Mahārāj, satsaṅg here happens only two or three times a year. What to do at home? You don’t come here just to be told. So should I give you a simple solution? If you want to follow it, I will tell you. The great ones have given a simple solution. See, satsaṅg is of two types. How many types? One is Chetan Satsaṅg, the other is Jaḍ Satsaṅg. What is Chetan Satsaṅg? Right now, in this divine gathering, the saints and great masters are speaking, and we are sitting, listening, and absorbing. That is Chetan Satsaṅg—the live satsaṅg. And what is Jaḍ Satsaṅg? After this program, in two or three days you will return home. And once home, what should you do? Take the divine books of the Mahāpuruṣas, the bhajans written by them, the sādhanās given by Gurudev Bhagavān, and with your whole family, sit together daily and sing two or three bhajans. If you do this at home with your family, your entire life will become satsaṅg, not just one day. Tell me: do you eat daily, or only once in a while? Maharaja, just as food is needed daily to sustain this body, similarly, to keep the mind healthy, the bhajan of God is needed daily. If a person devotes one hour to God every day, then, O Mahārāj, he will never be affected by mental problems. He will not be sad, restless, depressed, or frustrated. He will have no tension in life. Today, why is everyone in the world so distressed? Why are we unhappy? Why do we have tension and depression? Because we have stopped visiting saints, stopped doing bhajan of God, stopped satsaṅg. When these things enter your life, I guarantee you, sitting on this platform, that there will be only joy in your life. Now tell me, why is there joy in the life of saints? Are saints happy or not? Are they blissful or not? Why? Because they have the largest family. Your family may consist of two, four, or ten people, but how large is their family? “Vasudhaiva kuṭumbakam”—not just India, but the entire universe is their family. This teaching is being given to you to see directly. It is tapasyā, spiritual practice. By the grace of Gurudeva Bhagavān, we are here, my child. So remember, Chetan Satsaṅg and Jaḍ Satsaṅg. Adopt both in your life, and definitely there will be joy. Now, I could speak all night, but I must also allow others to speak. They too are seated here. Oṁ Śrī Alakh Purī Jī, Siddha Pīṭha Paramparā. I bow at the holy feet of His Holiness, beloved Gurudev, Viśvagurujī, and on this divine occasion on which we are gathered to celebrate. This divine occasion bestows upon us spiritual energy, positive energy, and the blessings of our paramparā. Our holy Gurujī’s anniversary we are celebrating here, and all the dear bhaktas listening through digital media, sitting here or having traveled from afar, come to receive something, to achieve spiritual things in life. This divine place that Viśvagurujī has created, the center of Yoga in Daily Life—the Om Āśram—I welcome all devotees of Mahāprabhujī and Viśvagurujī to this divine space. You are having satsaṅg, listening to beautiful bhajans and enjoying. I would like to share something about what holy Gurujī mentioned in his lectures and why we always celebrate these anniversaries of the divine masters and divine seekers. Why do we celebrate? What do we gain by celebrating? Holy Gurujī always emphasized that this entire world is suffering from many kinds of sadness, depression, tension, frustration—all are unhappy. They are burning at heart. Why? Because they live life only in the materialistic world, without spiritual life. So what should we do? He said there is only one pure thing: you can enter spirituality, get positivity, enter the spiritual kingdom. And the only thing that gives us power, peace, happiness, and love is satsaṅg. That is why we should always have satsaṅg in our life. I was explaining how to have satsaṅg daily in your life. There are two kinds: Chetan satsaṅg, what we are doing now, and Jaḍ satsaṅg. What is the difference? When you go to divine masters, saints, and great teachers, and listen to them live, as we are doing in this program—many saints, Viśvagurujī giving lectures—that is Chetan Satsaṅg. “Chetan” means live. We get this only on special occasions like celebrations, Guru Pūrṇimā, Holī, Gurujī’s anniversary, or Mahāprabhujī’s anniversary. But how to have daily life satsaṅg? You know, Viśvagurujī created a divine thing: Yoga in Daily Life—not just for one day, but every day. If you practice daily, you reap the benefits. Similarly, how should we take satsaṅg daily? Viśvagurujī has not only created yoga; he has given a new life through Yoga in Daily Life. So, when you are at home, what should you do? Jaḍ Satsaṅg. You have many books of Mahāprabhujī’s bhajans, holy Gurujī’s bhajans, and Viśvagurujī’s lectures. When you read yourself, or with your family, brothers, sisters, friends—that is satsaṅg. The mind has many desires. How to control them? Only through satsaṅg, only through what Viśvagurujī has given: the mantra, divine bhajans, divine chanting, divine sādhanā. Because if we don’t do satsaṅg, what happens? Holy Gurujī told a beautiful story about the mind. A disciple, a farmer, went to Gurudev and said, “Please, Gurudev, give me something to control a demon in my field.” Gurudev gave him a mantra, saying, “If you chant this mantra, he will come under your control.” The farmer went to the field, chanted the mantra, and the demon was controlled. The demon said, “Now I am your servant. Whatever you command, I must do. But there is one condition: if you ever fail to give me work, I will eat you. So always keep me busy.” The farmer agreed. He set the demon to work on his large field. The demon, being very fast with an air-body, finished everything in minutes and came back, demanding more work. The farmer had no more work, and the demon threatened to eat him. So the farmer ran back to Gurudev, saying, “Gurudev, I have another problem. The mantra works, but if I don’t give him work, he will eat me.” Part 2: The Restless Mind and the Power of Satsaṅg Gurudev explained that this is why you always need a guru. You must always come to the guru. Then Gurudev will give you the way. He said, “Alright, I will tell you something. You just take a big bamboo, put it in the field, and tell the demon, ‘Just go up and down.’ Just go up and down until I give you something else to do.” So the man went, placed a large bamboo, and set him to work. The demon kept climbing up and down, repeatedly. This is a story, but how should we apply it in our life? It is a story about our mind. Our mind is always going here and there. It is always doing things; it never stops. It is restless, unable to rest. If your mind is running, you cannot find rest. So the mind is restless. What to do? If you do not give it work, if you do not give it satsaṅg, if you do not give it good company, then it will carry you into bad company. It will take you into the hall of delusion. That is why, to control your mind, we have to follow the Guru Vākya; we have to keep satsaṅg. This means you must offer some good things to your mind. Then, if you give it good things, it will not wander here and there; it will move in the right direction, it will travel on the highway. How will it go? Look, I will give you another example. Everyone has seen a river. We see the Gaṅgā river. She comes from the mountain. Many people try to stop the river by building huge dams. But if you only block the river and never allow it to flow on its way, what will happen? Sometimes it will become full and burst. It will flood everywhere, and we will all be swept away. So what to do? We have to control the water. We have to provide a beautiful channel. We have to create a riverbed. If we do not make a proper channel, the water will still come. But when it comes, it will carry us away and cause our death. Yet if we create a divine river, if we give a path to the river, then it will flow to us. It will provide us with a divine field; it will give us sacred water. Everything will be beautiful. We can use the water, can we not? In the same way, the mind is always running, running, but you simply have to give it a path. If we give it the right path, it will travel on the highway; otherwise, it will wander through the villages, and from those villages you will never reach the highway, and you will never reach your destination. That is why, for the mind, just as a healthy body needs good, wholesome food, a healthy mind needs satsaṅg, bhajans, and mantra chanting. If we do not do this, our mind will also become full of disease. Many kinds of diseases exist. So Holy Gurujī was always saying, “To control your mind, have satsaṅg every day.” That is why we keep satsaṅg in our life. Through satsaṅg we can transform life—not only our own, but everyone’s, as many of you have experienced in your own lives. I was in Europe in December with the blessing of Viśvagurujī. He brought me to Vienna for the first time. In Vienna there is a Mahāprabhujī Āśram. When I entered Mahāprabhujī’s Ashram, I felt a divine, sublime positive energy. I saw the sacred belongings of Mahāprabhujī—his pādukā, his clothes—and the real, essential thing that Viśvagurujī has brought to Europe. This is called the divine light of Mahāprabhujī. That divine lamp has been burning there for forty-eight years. I was astonished when I saw this divine light that Viśvagurujī brought to Europe to illuminate each and every bhakta from Europe. Viśvagurujī is always giving us light. He is always showing us the divine way, the divine path. He is always guiding us. Therefore, thank you. As we celebrate Holy Gurujī’s divine anniversary, I would like to say one thing more: why do we celebrate the divine events and anniversaries of great masters? We celebrate because we need to take a message from them—what they accomplished in their life, what good we can draw from their life. Holy Gurujī devoted his entire life to sādhanā, to chanting mantra, to writing bhajans—not for himself, but for us. He performed sādhanā for all of us, and that is why we now enjoy a divine life. Why? Because of Holy Gurujī. So again and again I offer Praṇām to Holy Gurujī and Viśvagurujī, and I welcome all dear bhaktas with many, many blessings from Divine Oṃ Śrī Alakhpurījī, Siddha Pīṭha Paramparā. Deep Nārāyaṇa Bhagavāne Kī, Devpurīśa Mahādeva Kī, Alakhpurīśa Mahādeva Kī, Mādhav Kṛṣṇa Bhagavāne Kī, Viśvaguru Mahāmaṇḍaleśvara, Parampūjya Paramyogīrāja, Paramahaṁśrī Svāmī Mādhavānanda Purī Jī Bhagavāne Kī, Pūjya Śrī Satguru Dev Bhagavāne Kī, Satyasanātana Dharma Kī, Nama Pārvatī Patae Hara Hara Mahā. Now we will continue with some bhajans. We will listen and enjoy. Thank you. In our midst, Pūjya Saṅgrāmdāss Jī Mahārāj is coming from Chandāwal. He will offer your Madhur Kānt through the divine līlā of Bhagavān in his bhajan. Pūjya Saṅgrāmdāss Jī Mahārāj. After that, other saints from Raipur will also share your Madhur Kānt through the bhajans of Bhagavān. In this way, the satsaṅg will continue. You have all come; therefore, listen and make this night a satsaṅg. Sleeping is always available. If you do not sleep, life is over. But if a night is spent in satsaṅg, life becomes successful. Come, Saṅgrāmdāss Jī Mahārāj. Satguru Bhagwan Kī Jai Ho. Mahāpuruṣa has explained that the glory of Guru Bhakti is unparalleled. Even if we tried to describe it with all our words, we could not describe the glory of Gurū Mahārāj. It is the glory of Gurū Mahārāj. Those who have good fortune go to the Guru’s shelter and achieve their kalyāṇ. In the words of the great beings: jo guru bhakti kai cheez veve guru kai veve guru gyān kai veve ibād kovanā kai pato konā thā konā hai pāpī hai avār kroor janam kā pāp śir par jai. Ke padhāyā hai ve guru bhakti tak nahī̃ pahunch pāte, jīvan kyõ hai? Gherī gherī nadīyāṁ nām purāṇī ar satguru kar deve pār. A sansār sagar kī gherī nadīy hai, ima apar dukh hai. In sārī nadīy se, sāre dukhoṁ se. In this world, apart from the Guru, apart from Gurū Mahārāj, no one can save you from the ocean of worldly existence. And you have to walk on the edge of a sword. Jo khaṇḍa kī dār para khelatā hai, to hoī jāegā. Only by taking refuge in Gurū Mahārāj can one attain mokṣa, kalyāṇa, mokṣa and so on. There is a very, very deep meaning that we cannot fully describe. It is like a spider’s web that runs on this thread. Only then can this path of devotion become true devotion to the Guru Mahārāj. Then it is said: Ket Kabīr suno bai sādhu, sādhu sevā se, guru sevā se uttaro la pār. Agar kare sevā to pave mevā. Agar guru sevā ke binā koī gyān sīkhnā chāhtā hai, aur keval guru kī bāt karte, unse pār na pātā hai. Guru sevā kis prakār kī jātī hai? Mahāprabhujī kī Karatā... Tattvaśat Pāppūjī Garg ve bhī apne bhajano ke madhyam se āpko lābha prāpt karāyeṅge. Mangalāgiri yuketahain, amar basāvodhān, Saṅgat kī jai santakī, kyānugārān sekhān. If we want to do satsaṅg, what must we do? We must keep the satsaṅg of the saint, that is, the satsaṅg of the Guru. These days, many people believe in Guru Dev. They keep a picture of the Guru, worship Him, offer garlands, and bow to Guru Dev. They believe that Gurujī exists, but they do not believe in the Guru’s words. The Guru says, “Bīḍī, jāṛā, tamākū, bhaṅg, gañjā, and other intoxicants—do not take them,” and yet they continue. Then do they really accept the Guru’s words? Do they believe the Guru? If you do not follow the Guru, then you cannot move forward. The Satguru says, “Listen to the Guru; accept the Guru’s words; then you will progress.” If you do not follow each and every instruction of the Guru, you will not advance. Serve Guru Dev, and you will progress. Even the smallest service to Guru Dev enables one to advance. I recited a bhajan; our manjīrā player is accompanying very well. Brother, the dholak player is also playing beautifully. Dharthī ne ākāś bhi dambedh udvān de iti joru innī deve. Sītā Rāmacandra Bhagavāne kī, so Rāma Prasāda Jī Mahārāja has given the same name and the same work. What is the name? Rām Prasād. So, Maryādā Puruṣottam, Rām Prakāś. See, there is Rām Prasād Jī and Rām Prakāś Jī. And in the world too, there is the light of Bhagavān, there is the light of Rāmjī, and there is the prasāda of Him. So, you have recited the bhajan in the glory of the name of the great divine. And in the glory of the name, the saints have also said the same thing. Goswāmī Tulasīdāsa Jī Mahārāja has also said the same thing: Kalyug Keval Nām Ādhāra Sumer, Sumeranār, Uttarahī Para Jai Siyarām, Jai Jai Siyarām... The glory of Bhagavān’s name is supreme. Until the name enters a person’s life, until the grace of the name descends, until one makes the mantra form of the name given by Gurudev Bhagavān the central practice, a person’s life remains incomplete. Anyone who is tired and would like to sleep can do so, no problem. Bholī Bhagavān Śrī Diviśvar Mahādev Kī Jai, Vedasāra Śivastavaḥ. In the form of the Lord, Śrī Śaṅkarācārya, Vedasāra, Śivastava, Śivarāpanna, Stohu, Kī Jai, Har Har Mahādev. Very beautiful. Bhagavān Paśupatināth, Bhagavān Kailāśādhipati, Kailāśanāth, Śrī Śaṅkar Bhagavān’s stuti, Suresh Jī ne hamāre madhya meṁ prastut kiyā, jismeṁ Bhagavān Śiv ke divya rūpoṁ kā varṇan kiyā, Bhagavān ke svarūp kā varṇan kiyā. And now it is time for our divine paramparā. Oṁ Śrī Alakh Purījī, Siddha Pīṭha Paramparā. Is paramparā meṁ jitane mahāpuruṣa, jitane siddha-koṭi ke mahāpuruṣa ho haiṁ. Jeevan kā sār hai bhajan, us bhajan ko jino ne granth badh kiyā, kishale kiyā, hum sabhī ke liye to unhī bhajano ke madhyam se, Pāpujī amāre madhyahe, bhajano kā divya sundar sundar madhur vāṇī se, hamein śravaṇ karāyeṅge. Now Pāpujī Garg will sing the beautiful divine bhajans of our divine Oṃ Śrī Alakh Purījī, Siddha Pīṭh Paramparā—some Mahāprabhujī’s bhajans, Holy Gurujī’s—which they were writing not only for themselves, but for all of us, for any human who desires satsaṅg, who desires liberation, who desires the divine path, who wishes to attain mokṣa. For them, they wrote the divine bhajans so that human beings might receive a divine way, a divine path. So now we are listening to Papūjī. He is a very good singer. He is always coming here to offer sevā at the divine holy feet of our divine paramparā, Papūjī Garg. Devpurījī, Mahādev Kī, Bhagavān Śrī Dīp Nār Mahāprabhujī Kī, Viśva Hindu Samrāra, Śrī Satguru Bhagavān Madhavānandajī Mahārāj Kī Viśva Satguru, Bhagavān, Viśvagurujī, Mahāmaṇḍaleśvar, Jagatguru, Paramāṁśī, Yogīrāj, Svāmī, Śrī Meśvarānandajī Mahārāj Kī Satguru Ke Darbār Mein Pratīk Varṣ Kī Bhāntī Har Sol Ullāś Ke Sāth Gurudev Ke Mahā Prayāṇ Divas Swāmījī Beṭā Ho Ne Kī Uplakṣ Mein Usso Manāye Jātā Hai Mañchasin Virajit Satguru Pram Pūjhne Pram Ādranīya Pram Śraddhe Satguru Swāmījī Avatārpūrī Jī Mahārāj Satguru Swāmījī Rājendra Purī Jī Mahārāj.

Jog, jog jiyo Maheśvarānandajī... Bolo Sant Guru Bhagwān Kī Jai Ho. Very beautiful. You have awakened everyone. This is the bliss of Guru Dev Bhagwān’s divine bhajan, and in this bhajan, the life of Guru Dev Bhagwān has reached its fullness. Gurudev Bhagavān kī, Gurudev ne kis prakār se apne śiṣya ko likhā kī kyā karī kiyā hai? Such great beings descend upon this earth, and those with whom Gurudev is so pleased that he personally lifts the disciple into his own writing—such great beings appear only rarely. The proximity of such great masters has been granted to all of us. We are all very fortunate. So come, let us now take shelter in another bhajan. Jai ho! Wow! Very beautiful! Very beautiful! This is a very joyful bhajan, the one that awakens us, the one that reminds us of Sadguru Dev Bhagwan. Dada Gurudev Bhagwan has written this bhajan very clearly, and with a sense of unity with his Paramātmā, Sadguru Dev Bhagwan. So by listening to such bhajans, we also receive love, reverence, faith, and an enthusiasm, an inspiration toward our revered Gurudev Bhagavān. Bhoot Sundar. Nam Sumariya Par Uttariya Jaye Pauncha Nijadhām... Nāma sumariyā, ātmā anādi. This is done, right? Bolo Sadguru Bhagavān kī jai ho. Very beautiful, very beautiful. Sadguru Bhagavān Swāmī Madhavānandajī Mahārāj expressed in the first verse: Śakal kāmanā siddhi datā aura sapala kare sab kāma, Gurū Dev kā nāma japane se sāre kāma ban jāte. Śvāso śvāsa kī mālā karale aura jala kate tamām, kale kalpanā duḥkha kī mete pāve parama viśrama. Alak Niranjan Antariyāmī Ghaṭme Pau Rām Amar Khazānā Sej Milsī Nai Lage Kuch Dām.

Gurudev says, “Ātho Yām.” If you remember Āṭho Yām, you will remember Gurudev’s name. Say Sadguru Bhagavān Kī Jai.
