Satsangs

Teens & Young Adults Satsangs are opportunities for young people to get together and explore the practices, connect with other people of the same age, and discuss the Siddha Yoga teachings as they relate to our lives. These satsangs includes chanting and meditation. We invite you to join other young adults on this path and share our journey as students.

Satsang literally means "the company of the truth." It also means the company of saints and devotees; a gathering of seekers for the purpose of chanting, meditating, and listening to scriptural teachings or readings. These practices lead us to an ever deepening awareness of our true selves and support us in living our lives as great beings! As Kishors and Yuvas, we come together to support each other in our quest.

Here are some reasons young people give for coming together with other Siddha Yoga young adults to do the practices:

We are all reflections for each other, which helps us see what we need to work on. We have the same intention and goal and so it is magnificent to be with others who have the same interests. Coming together with my peers . . .helps me every day to achieve my goals and overcome my challenges.

I am constantly reminded of why I am here. I am reminded of my goal and it helps me stay focused and one-pointed on what I truly want. At one retreat, the Kishors and Yuvas helped to create the New Year's Eve Satsang. Afterwards, one of the young people shared, "The retreat was super cool. I really loved being a main part of things and doing seva. I also loved meeting new people. I think it should have been longer though."

"I felt completely guided in a very open and accepting space that allowed us all to shine. The participation in the New Year's Eve program was so fun."

Great questions for us to contemplate:
How can we step into our own greatness?
How can we continue to put forth right self effort?
How can we unite more?
