Satsangs

|
"Satsang is the shelter from the changing times and its harsh influence on life. Satsang is the nest in which you can rest" (Sri Sri Ravi Shankar from An Intimate Note to the Sincere Seeker, Volume 2).
In Sanskrit, Satsang means the gathering together of like-minded people. Satsang also means to be in the company of truth. It is a time to practice Sudarshan Kriya (which is taught on the Art of Living Course), pranayamas (breathing techniques), meditate, sing, discuss knowledge and share food. Every week people gather in Los Angeles to rejuvenate and re-energize through Satsang, and Satsangs like this are happening all over the world. If you have completed the Part I Art of Living Course please contact the host of the satsang for location details.

| Monthly MAHA Satsangs |
The first Sunday of every month at 4pm
Maha Satsangs literally mean "Big Get Togethers" and they are a chance for Art of Living members from all area satsang groups to come together and do practices, meet each other, and celebrate!
The Maha Satsangs begin at 4pm with pranayamas and Sudarshan Kriya.
After kriya, we will have a Knowledge Talk from 5:30 to 6:30pm. This talk is open to the public, so please invite family and friends to come join us at 5:30.
The talk will conclude with Questions and Answers, followed by a Vegetarian Potluck Dinner at 6:30 — please bring a vegetarian dish to share — no meat, fish, or egg ingredients.
