What we’re about
This meditation course will introduce you to a simple, but effective century old practice. It starts with calming your mind and takes you through a journey to lasting inner peace! This 60-minute guided meditation course starts with subtle meditative music and guidance on how to meditate on transcendent light. The core of the meditation is a 30-minute session that begins with transcendent light permeating the body and is practiced with complete silence. The session wraps up with another round of meditative music to transition out of meditation followed by Q&A.
This meditation practice is based on Satsang, a unique guided meditation practice, perfected by my grandfather Guru Maharaj Dr. Chaturbhuj Sahay. Satsang has its strong footing in ancient yoga and meditation practices. It has been refined and simplified to allow people to integrate meditation into their busy lifestyles seamlessly. Satsang is easy to do and understand. It is a truly non-intrusive practice that can be molded to suit your lifestyle and faith. This unique meditation practice can begin at only one hour daily and it is up to the individual to decide what they are comfortable with.
Please join us in Satsang to benefit from this simple, effective, and modern path to an enlightened, stress-free, healthy and peaceful life.
No prerequisites.
Our founder:
Guru Maharaj Dr. Chaturbhuj Sahay perfected a guided meditation system on transcendent light. He refined and simplified ancient yoga and meditation practices, so it is easy to do and understand. It is a truly non-intrusive practice that can be molded to suit any lifestyle or faith. This unique meditation practice can begin at less than an hour daily to get some transformative results.
He established Ramashram Satsang Mathura as a nonprofit in 1930, that has freely helped millions of people and promoted a healthy and peaceful lifestyle through Satsang since then. He started a monthly Journal in Hindi in 1931 and wrote many books that includes a seven volume book describing his spiritual journey.
His heart was always flowing with unconditional love for everyone. He served anyone and everyone who came to him and he always paid attention to anyone who sought his help.
He was habitually found in a meditative mood. Tranquility was writ large on his face.
He lived the life of a family man. He set an excellent example of how to combine spiritual idealism with domestic life. Serving his wife and children to the last breath, and mindfully attending to all domestic duties.
Session facilitator:
Mr. Sanjiv Kumar will facilitate the guided meditation sessions. He has been practicing meditation for over 40 years. He was impressed with the effects of meditation in his life and has been facilitating guided meditation sessions in the DMV area and across the nation for the last two decades. He feels meditation should be an integral part of everyone’s lifestyle to reduce stress, anxiety, depression and their toxic effects both on the mind and the body.
Sanjiv is also the president of the nonprofit organization, Ramashram Satsang Mathura, Inc. which promotes a healthy and peaceful lifestyle through Satsang. Satsang is a unique guided meditation practice, perfected by his grandfather Guru Maharaj, Dr. Chaturbhuj Sahay.
Satsang has its strong footing in ancient yoga and meditation practices. It was refined and simplified by his grandfather in 1930 to make it viable for modern day, busy lifestyles. Millions of people have taken advantage of this practice in India and Sanjiv is now promoting the benefits of this practice in the USA.
Apart from conducting guided meditation sessions, Sanjiv is an IT executive. He has been happily married for about 30 years and has 3 kids. He travels extensively to promote this guided meditation practice and to bring Eastern knowledge to Western culture. Ultimately, allowing followers of this practice to reach spiritual enlightenment and enjoy everlasting inner peace.
