This experience of guided meditation under a spiritually enabled is capable of bringing a sense of calm and peace to anyone who wants to join. All sessions are free.

a.     Online Events

For several years, the NPO has been promoting online participation for people who are unable to attend satsang events in-person.

In order to deal with the challenges posed during the pandemic, we have extended the online events and presence to a broader audience with an increased outreach using the technology platforms.

This was realized through

• Daily online sessions which are held on weekdays one in the morning and other in the evening.
• Participants have a range of options to participate in these events
  • interactive video conference through WebEx
  • interactive audio conference through WebEx audio bridge
  • view live video broadcast on Youtube and facebook live
  • listen to audio broadcast on MixLR internet radio
• Special sessions are planned for weekends
• Several bhandaras (annual events in India) including Jaipur and Hazaribagh have leveraged these technology platforms and online collaboration tools to provide the spiritual service to people despite maintaining the social distancing measures.
• Through the relentless efforts from volunteers, we have supported 1000+ concurrent connections on all the online platforms together during these sessions
