Monthly Satsangs - Coming Together as Community

Satsang” is a combination of two sanskrit words: sat meaning “Truth” and sanga meaning “in company of”. So when we gather for satsang we are coming together in the company or community of Truth.

The Yoga Academy of North America (YANA), are delighted to be hosting these monthly informal gatherings of spiritual reflection, discussion, meditation and other practices to support each other on the journey of living yoga from moment to moment.

Each month we will invite master teachers (acharyas), aspiring yogis/yoginis, sevaks and devotees of the Satyananda Yoga community to offer support & inspiration on the path of yogic living.

Satsang with Swami Shankardev:

"Awaken the Higher Mind - a discussion on Eastern and Jungian Perspectives”

In this 75 minute satsang session, Swami Shankardev will discuss developing mental and emotional resilience through yogic philosophy and Western psychotherapy approaches. 

Those in attendance are invited to ask questions and share their own strengths/weaknesses as it pertains to their personal development of resilience, especially in these turbulent times.

The goal of the session is for all who attend to walk away with inspiration and light to sustain a more positive expression and manage the many challenges that life may bring. The satsang will end with a short meditation practice.

Every Saturday, at the Bihar School of Yoga and other Satyananda Yoga centers around the world - in homes, yoga centres, or ashrams– people gather to chant a healing mantra called the Maha-mrit-yun-jaya mantra. 

This mantra is chanted 108 times, completing one round of a mala. It is a universal mantra from the Vedic tradition, and is chanted for health, healing, wellbeing and support during challenging times.

This mantra is often combined with an ancient fire ceremony,  known as Havan. This ritual amplifies the effects of the mantra and helps to purify the environment.

With the repetition of each mantra Samagri and ghee are offered to the fire. Samagri is a mixture of aromatic herbs, grains and seeds that cleanse and purify the environment.

As per the tradition, we will read out aloud the names of individuals, intentions, or reasons for remembrance, along with their location, before we begin chanting 108 rounds of the Maha-mrit-yun-jaya mantra. 

Throughout the practice we hold the intention of health, happiness and wellbeing for all in our hearts while chanting,
