Guru Maharaj, Dr. Chaturbhuj Sahay Ji, ignited a spiritual revolution in 1930 by founding Ramashram Satsang Mathura (RSM)—a movement born out of deep reverence for his Guru, Lalaji Maharaj Shri Ramchandra Ji.
The word Satsang comes from two Sanskrit roots: Sat, meaning “Transcendental Energy” or “Truth,” and Sang, meaning “to be with.” Thus, Satsang signifies being in the presence of Transcendental Energy—a sacred alignment with truth, peace, and divine guidance. Traditionally, this path was followed under the close, personal mentorship of a Guru, often in small, intimate groups. But Guru Maharaj expanded this vision.
Through books, newsletters, and tireless travels across northern India, Guru Maharaj transformed a personal, one-to-one process into a spiritual movement. Yet, at its heart, Ramashram Satsang Mathura remained a family—a Satsang Parivar—bound not by rituals or dogma, but by love, guidance, and the shared quest for the “Ocean of Peace.”
Guru Maharaj connected with every seeker as if they were part of his own family. His mission was inclusive, universal, and deeply personal. Everyone—regardless of background—was introduced to the same spiritual practice that had led him to self-realization at a young age.
Now, nearly a century later, Ramashram Satsang Mathura continues to shine as a beacon of spiritual light in an increasingly material world. What began in Mathura has grown into a vibrant global community—a sanctuary where seekers find purpose, joy, and health through the pursuit of inner peace.
The Satsang family warmly welcomes all who seek to embody light, love, and peace—walking together on the timeless path to the Ocean of Peace.
Guru Maharaj’s home—and more importantly, his heart—was always open to anyone seeking peace and calm in a turbulent world. He welcomed all with love, offering guidance and support on their inner journey, no matter their background or life circumstances.
Inspired by this spirit of openness and universal love, we are introducing a new way for seekers to connect: a “virtual home” for those beginning their spiritual journey.
This online space is designed to reflect the same warmth, inclusiveness, and guidance that Guru Maharaj offered so generously in person. Here, beginners can:
-
Learn the foundational principles of Satsang
-
Begin their personal practice with step-by-step guidance
-
Interact with experienced Satsangees and fellow seekers
-
Ask questions, share reflections, and grow together as a spiritual family
In today’s busy and often chaotic world, this virtual home offers a sanctuary—a place to reconnect with your inner self, find community, and take the first step toward lasting peace.
As always, Satsang welcomes everyone who wishes to walk the path of light, love, and peace. Whether you are just starting or continuing your journey, this new home is for you.
This new home aspires to be what every true home should be—welcoming, inclusive, and filled with care. It is open to all: longtime practitioners who have walked this path for decades, and new seekers taking their first steps. It is a space where wisdom is shared freely, hearts are open, and help is always just a conversation away.
Here, seasoned Satsangees stand ready to welcome newcomers with compassion, humility, and the spirit of service that lies at the heart of our tradition. Just as Guru Maharaj did in his time, we aim to nurture a living, breathing community—rooted in practice, but also in connection.
This year, our vision is to create a vibrant virtual Satsang family—a global community that supports one another in developing a deep and sustainable spiritual practice. A community that not only meditates together but also learns, grows, and uplifts one another to live purpose-driven, joyful, and healthy lives.
To support this evolution, we are offering the following foundational resources:
🌿 1. RSM Global Satsang Community
