Evening Satsangs
Satsang is a gathering of seekers for the purpose of meditation, chanting, listening to scriptural teachings, and discussing spiritual topics. Satsang means the company of the good, the company of spiritual seekers; by extension, the company of the Truth. A seeker can also have satsang by keeping their own good company through doing the practices, entertaining good thoughts, and cultivating the virtues.
