Satsang and Kirtan with Shambhavi

Satsang = Being in Reality Together

Come learn, LAUGH, find community, sing, and remember who you really are.

Satsang is a lively, ancient spiritual practice from India. People gather for a relaxed, "anything goes" conversation about the nature of reality, self-realization, spiritual life, and all aspects of human experience from the most ordinary to the most cosmic.

Shambhavi holds satsang (almost) every Sunday at 3pm Pacific. Kids are always welcome. Satsang is casual. Feel free to arrive and leave whenever you like. Find full access info for the space at jayakula.org/attend-teachings-at-jaya-kula

Exactly what happens in satsang?

We chant some chants. Then Shambhavi leads a free-flowing conversation during which people ask questions about anything. The conversation is followed by open-mic, community kirtan.

What is community kirtan?

Kirtan is call and response singing accompanied by musical instruments such as harmonium, drums, bells and whatever other instruments people like to play!

We play kirtan together as a community. Anyone can lead the singing or play an instrument. The emphasis is on having fun and feeling the joy of singing together.

Cost: Satsang is offered on a “Give What You Can” basis. We ask that you offer an amount within your means. You donation supports Jaya Kula to continue providing teachings, resources, opportunities to practice, and community in all the ways that we do. Thank you!
