Satsang and The Art of Living

Satsang is the most obvious exemplification of The Art of Living’s commitment to make life a celebration. Many of the activities of The Art of Living are more overtly ‘serious’ – humanitarian projects for the less fortunate, stress-management programs for all segments of society, Yoga and Meditation programs. In fact all these activities also serve the same goal of making life a celebration – one cannot live life to the full with a stressed mind, regardless of whether that stress is caused by a natural disaster visited upon one’s family or whether it is the stress of a demanding career. Satsang completes the celebration once our stress is removed – we sing and dance and reflect on the deeper questions that give meaning to life.

Satsang and Wisdom

On a more subtle level, Sri Sri Ravi Shankar explains while carrying out our daily activities, each mind has a different thought. However, by singing or chanting together the thoughts drop and the individual minds unite, therefore participants in a satsang experience a a higher state of consciousness. It is a common experience that parties relax you after a hard week’s work, satsang takes this to the next level by being more healthy, and therefore more relaxing.
