What is a satsang?
The word means something like "in the company of truth". In practice it is
simply people gathering to sit with a teacher and ask what is on their minds — no ceremony,
no ritual, nothing you need to know beforehand. If the word is unfamiliar, "a conversation
with Mohanji, in a room of people who came for the same reason" is close enough.
I have never done anything like this. Where do I start?
Watch a whole session first — there is one further up this page, unedited
and free. If it speaks to you, take a single week before committing to anything longer;
the Weekly plan is one session, with nothing to keep up. Most people know within a session
or two whether it is for them, and there is no rhythm you have to keep until you are sure.
What exactly happens in a session?
Two hours, live on Zoom, in three parts: 45 minutes with Mohanji on that week's theme, 60 minutes of questions answered one by one in real time, and 15 minutes of blessings and personal wishes. There is no script and no fixed sequence.
Do I have to ask a question?
No. Plenty of people never ask anything and find that the answer to someone else's question was the one they came for. Sitting and listening is a complete way to attend.
Should I keep my camera on?
Mohanji encourages it. In a satsang a great deal passes through the eyes, and
the connection runs both ways — he is looking at the room as much as the room is looking at him,
and that meeting is part of what the two hours are for. It is an encouragement rather than a
condition. If your circumstances, your surroundings or your connection mean the camera stays off,
you are entirely welcome as you are.
How do I get the joining link?
By email, ahead of each session, for as long as your subscription runs. If it has not arrived by the day of the talk, write to
events@mohanji.org.
Is it the same day and time every week?
Not always. Mohanji travels constantly, and each session is set around where he is that week — so the day and the hour can move. Whatever has been settled for the coming session is at the top of this page, in your own timezone, and it goes out in the weekly email as well. If the time is awkward where you live, subscribers can watch the recording on
Mohanji TV for the week that follows.
Can I subscribe for my whole family?
Yes — the Family plan covers everyone in one household under a single subscription. Choose it in
the subscribe section above.
Do I have to commit for a year?
No. The Weekly plan is a single session, so you can come for just one week. Beyond that you can subscribe monthly, quarterly or annually — whichever rhythm suits you. Nothing renews on its own.
Do I need to have a practice, or share a particular belief?
Neither. The sessions are open to everyone — no prerequisites, no required beliefs, nothing to sign up to beyond the session itself. People come on their first week and people come having sat for twenty years.
Is this a religion? Do I have to follow Mohanji?
No, to both. Mohanji describes himself as a guide to yourself rather than someone to be followed — in his words, “you do not follow him; you follow yourself.” There is nothing to convert to and no belief you must hold; people take part while keeping their own faith, or none. As he puts it, humanity is the best religion — kindness, honesty and non-violence, lived consciously. You are welcome exactly as you are.
What happens when my subscription ends?
It simply stops, and the joining links stop with it. We send a reminder two weeks
beforehand as a courtesy, but do keep an eye on the date yourself — email goes astray, filters
change, and we would rather you did not discover it by missing a session. The date is always on
your subscription page, and renewing takes a minute.
