The Purpose of Satsang

The whole purpose of any Satsang is to receive the flow of divinity. If you have attended any Satsang in Guruji's physical presence, Then you will be able to relate better. It starts with om chanting. Then a Ganesh Bhajan generally. Then Guruji goes into meditation. And After some time you feel a horizontal upliftment happening. Its because all different minds are settling down & their is only one common thing in all the minds. After that a vertical upliftment happens & gradually you will see all the small mind starts to dissolve & big mind dawns. And that's the point, Guruji opens his eyes & most often saying Hmmmm... and at that very moment singer stops singing without even finishing the word they have started to spoke (That also depends on who is singing) & then divinity flows through Guruji in form of some very relevent knowledge to you (In fact to all of us together). Some days, Guruji just does not speak at all, cause Silence is the best mode of communication & in those Satsangs, you can feel the divinity around at its peak. People just come to feel that relief one gets at the end of the satsang because of experiencing that divinity.

So Satsang is not about singing skills or performance. The whole thing is to make everyone involve in the satsang & then everything just follows. But sometimes when people get to lead you know what all they do, they forget all these things and forget about the others over there. So very important bhajans should be simple, so that every one can follow. For satsang Guruji says 'bhajan gao, or bhajan ke beichmen ankhen band karke batho or observe karo ki kya ho raha ha!!'  And those who did that became superb singers (I guess need not to be named here). Also satsang should be call & response based. i.e. when one who is leading is singing, others don't & once he stops then others should sing. Why to do that? So that not just people close to him but everyone else can also listen to the person who is leading. If you have seen Ramnik Bhaiya leading then you can see him taking care of all this superbly. And More will follow in next post....
