Saturday Satsang with talk by Br. Rishi Chaitanya, live from Amritapuri - In Person

Mar 23, 2024 5:30pm-8:00pm (ended)

On Saturday evenings, our community comes together for satsang (spiritual talk), chanting and bhajans and to connect informally with old and new friends.
All are welcome to join us on Saturdays, an RSVP or pre-registration is NOT required.

This Saturday we have a special satsang by Br. Rishi Chaitanya, live from Amritapuri, on the topic “Inner Communion: Experiencing The Divine Mother Within”. Countless sages have experienced communing with 'Ma' the Divine Mother within. Amma says that 'through Love we can dissolve into silence'. In this talk Br. Rishi Chaitanya will explore Amma's teachings on developing a devotional inner relationship with the Divine each moment of our lives.

Br. Rishi Chaitanya has been living in Amma's Amritapuri Ashram for the last 27 years. In the ashram he leads retreats on meditation, as well as being involved in many of Amma's Green Friends and environmental projects.

Group chanting and prayer is very powerful. It can change anything. The lost harmony of the human mind can be restored only through a selfless attitude supported by prayer, meditation and chanting of mantras.– Amma
