Guest guest Posted September 26, 2001 Report Share Posted September 26, 2001 Namaste: The purpose of Gita Satsangh is to read the Gita, commentaries from knowledgeable people to get the full meaning and its relevance in today's world. Also it is an opportunity to exchange other view points and clarifications of our questions. Satsangh is the company of a good person. 'Sat' stands for godliness, 'sangh' for company. When we are totally happy we may not have the urge to come to Satsangh. It is this need, a fear of uncertain future, a lacuna in life in spite of having everything, an in explicable void despite being wealthy or powerful, that makes us to come to the Satsangh. When we are totally happy and contented and need nothing, we do have the duty to come to a Satsangh to share our happiness with others. Happiness and Sorrow are our own creations and they occur frequently and our goal to make everyone to be happy all the time. Satsangh is the right medicine to take us to the right direction. Satsangh sustains the prevailing atmosphere of nobility, understanding, generosity and love through our expression of compassion for the fellow beings. Our noble qualities take charge and drive out baser instincts and feeling. All satsanghiis (people who attend satsanghs) learn to like each other and ever willing to help each other. When we first started the fire, most of the logs were wet and only one or two a bit dry; these kept the fire alive and exposed other wet logs to the heat of the fire. Slowly but surely, all logs started drying up and the fire started burning brightly. Any passer-by could come and get the warmth. I strongly request everyone to participate in the on-going Gita Satsangh with enthusiasm. warmest regards, Ram Chandran Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
