Satsangसत्संग

The company of the wise and the true — a gathering for spiritual discourse, chanting, and shared practice.

Detailed Explanation

Satsang (sat, truth or being, and sanga, company) means keeping the company of truth — whether a teacher (guru), fellow seekers, or sacred teachings. In practice it refers to a gathering for spiritual discussion, scripture study, bhajan, and kirtan. Tradition holds that association with the wise gradually purifies the mind and strengthens the seeker on the spiritual path.
