"The Satsang Network" Nova Religio: ''The Journal of Alternative and Emergent Religions'', Volume 6, Issue 1, pages 64-85, ISSN 1092-6690 (print), 1541^8480 (electronic). © 2002. ''...satsang, a traditional activity in the Indian spiritual context, meaning "being with good/righteous companions." Satsang is a sitting together with an enlightened person who usually gives a short speech and then answers questions.''</ref> This typically involves listening to or reading scriptures, reflecting on, discussing and assimilating their meaning, [[meditation|meditating]] on the source of these words, and bringing their meaning into one’s daily life. Contemporary satsang teachers in the West - frequently coming from the [[Advaita Vedanta]] tradition - sometimes mix traditional Eastern knowledge with methods of modern psychology. During a satsang with a master, students are likely to ask questions. Satsangs also may contain elements like lectures, meditations, singing and recitations. ==References== {{reflist}} [[Category:Hindu philosophical concepts]] [[Category:Sanskrit words and phrases]] [[Category:Indian philosophy]] [[Category:Mysticism]] [[da:Satsang]] [[de:Satsang]] [[es:Satsang]] [[fr:Ramashram Satsang]] [[it:Satsang]] [[nl:Satsang]] [[pl:Satsang]] [[sv:Satsang]]
