The Teachings of Bhagavan Sri Ramana Maharshi will open the unalloyed happiness within.

The Power of Guru

This flow of power from the Guru can be received by anyone whose attention is focused on the Self or on the form of the Guru; distance is no impediment to its efficacy. This attention is often called sat-sanga, which literally means ‘Association with the Being’, Bhagavan Sri Ramana wholeheartedly encouraged this practice frequently said that it was the most efficient way of bringing about a direct experience of the Self. Traditionally it involves being in the physical presence of one who has realised the Self but Bhagavan Sri Ramana gave it a much wider definition, He said the most important element in sat-sanga was the mental connection with the Guru; sat-sanga takes place not only in His presence but wherever one thinks of Him.

Our weekly Satsangs are conducted on Saturdays from 6.30pm onwards. Recitation of Akshramanamalai and reading from Talks with Bhagavan Sri Ramana Maharshi and other spiritual works are part of the Satsang
