• Two-day Santmat Satsang scheduled for March 29 and March 30 at Swarn Palace, Miran Sahib followed by Badyal Brahamana Ashram Foundation Day on March 31

RS PURA: A two-day Santmat Satsang is scheduled to be held on March 29 and March 30 at Swarn Palace, Miran Sahib, Jammu, under the guidance of Swami Vyasand Ji Maharaj of Maharishi Mehi Brahm Vidyapeeth, Haridwar. The spiritual congregation will be followed by the celebration of the foundation day of the Ashram at Badyal Brahmana on March 31, bringing together devotees and seekers for a collective journey toward inner awakening and spiritual enlightenment.

In an era marked by rapid change, material pursuits, and growing mental unrest, the timeless teachings of Maharshi Mehi Paramhans and his illustrious disciple Swami Vyasand Ji Maharaj stand as a beacon of hope and spiritual clarity. These revered saints have played a pivotal role in preserving and propagating the sacred path of Santmat, guiding countless seekers toward inner peace and self-realization.

Born in 1885 in Bihar, Maharshi Mehi Paramhans Ji exhibited deep spiritual inclination from an early age. Renouncing worldly life in pursuit of truth, he eventually came under the guidance of his Guru, Baba Devi Sahab, and devoted himself to intense meditation and spiritual discipline. His years of seclusion and meditation, particularly at Kuppaghat in Bhagalpur, shaped his profound realization of the divine.

Maharshi Mehi simplified the essence of ancient Indian scriptures, including the Vedas and Upanishads, presenting them in a practical and accessible manner. Through the practice of Surat Shabd Yoga—focusing on inner light (Bindu Dhyan) and inner sound (Naad-Anusandhan)—he emphasized direct spiritual experience over ritualism. His teachings centered on Nirgun Bhakti, advocating devotion to the formless God, alongside values of non-violence, ethical living, and service to humanity.

He also strengthened the Akhil Bharatiya Santmat Satsang, spreading the message of unity, compassion, and spiritual awakening across the country. His literary contributions continue to guide spiritual aspirants, reinforcing the belief that true realization lies within oneself through disciplined meditation and the guidance of a true Guru.

Carrying forward this rich spiritual legacy, Swami Vyasand Ji Maharaj has emerged as a dedicated torchbearer of Santmat. Initiated into the spiritual path at a young age, he undertook rigorous meditation and penance in the Himalayas and along the Ganga, attaining deep spiritual insight. His life reflects unwavering commitment to his Guru’s teachings and the mission of spiritual upliftment.

Through the establishment of Satsang centres in regions such as Jammu, Haridwar, and Dehradun, he has made spiritual teachings accessible to people from all walks of life. His discourses, rooted in sacred texts like the Bhagavad Gita and Upanishads, offer practical guidance for leading a balanced and meaningful life. His literary work “Chala Hansa Nij Desh” has further expanded the reach of Santmat philosophy.

In today’s fast-paced world, where stress and uncertainty dominate, the teachings of these great saints hold immense relevance. Their message encourages individuals to turn inward, practice meditation, and cultivate moral values to achieve true peace and fulfillment. Santmat offers a simple yet profound path that harmonizes ancient wisdom with contemporary needs.

The upcoming Satsang and Ashram foundation celebrations are expected to provide a platform for spiritual reflection, collective meditation, and dissemination of these timeless teachings. Devotees and the general public are invited to participate and benefit from the spiritual discourses and guidance.The legacy of Maharshi Mehi Paramhans Ji and Swami Vyasand Ji Maharaj continues to inspire humanity to embrace inner transformation and walk the path of truth, peace, and self-realization.
