Start here
New to satsang? Welcome.
You don’t need to know everything to begin. Here is a gentle starting point and a few practical first steps.
What does “satsang” mean?
Satsang is a Sanskrit word often explained as keeping the company of what is true and good. In everyday life it usually means coming together to learn, sing, listen and reflect — at home, at a mandir or with friends.
The best way to understand it is to experience it: spend time with people who are learning, listen, ask questions and join in at your own pace.

Four easy first steps
Begin small, keep going
01
Choose one quiet moment a day
Five calm minutes is enough — before school, after work or before bed. Our weekly planner helps you keep track.
02
Ask, listen and learn
Questions are welcome. Ask a parent, grandparent or volunteer to explain one thing you would like to understand better, and write down what you learn.
03
Visit in person
Learning is easier together. Visit your local mandir or centre, and ask about classes or gatherings for your age group.
04
Bring the family along
