Nothing on this earth or in the heavenly realms can overwhelm or overcome you when you know who you truly are. Your true Self is perfect, complete and unchanging. In Satsang, a gathering in Truth, this discovery is made possible. Welcome to Satsang.

We are deeply honoured that Mooji has been invited by Sahaj Samadhi Seva Trust to offer a four week Satsang event in Rishikesh, India, in 2020.
These four weeks of Satsang with Mooji offer a powerful opportunity to be immersed in the energy field of Satsang. The Satsangs are free and open for everyone who is called to discover who they truly are. During Satsang, Mooji speaks with seekers of Truth as they bring forward any burning questions, doubts and testimonies in relation to their search for lasting peace, joy and liberation.
Mooji is a true light in this world, whose presence, wisdom and loving guidance point us to who we are beyond the limitations of our conditioning and identity. In open interactions with this great spiritual Master, seekers of Truth from all backgrounds and traditions are introduced to the direct path to freedom through self-inquiry and The Invitation—which is proving to be one of the most effective aids for true and lasting Self-discovery.
Universal in his appeal, Mooji’s wisdom, compassion, openness and humour profoundly touch the hearts of those who meet him, thereby inspiring each one to find within themselves the deep peace, love and silence they recognise in him. Every human being has this eternal purity inside, and in Satsang it is being unveiled.

Satsangs begin on Wednesday, 12 February and are free and open to all. Satsangs are generally scheduled from Wednesday to Sunday (not Monday or Tuesday) from 10:00 – 12:00.

About Rishikesh
Nestled in the foothills of the Himalayas on the banks of the sacred Ganga River, Rishikesh has been a centre of spiritual and religious activities since ancient times. Rishi, meaning ‘seer’, was a name given to monks living in caves in the surrounding hills, the holy men to whom the Vedas (Hindu scriptures) were originally revealed.
Today, Rishikesh is known as the world capital of yoga. It is home to many internationally renowned ashrams and countless meditation, yoga and spiritual courses.
For practical information about travelling to India and around Rishikesh, as well as important information about health and safety, please visit the Sahaj Samadhi Seva Trust website.
There are two ways to participate in the Open Satsangs with Mooji in Rishikesh. You can come to the event to be in Mooji’s physical presence, or you can join the free live Internet broadcast through Mooji TV.
Joining physically at Swami Swatantranand Ashram in Rishikesh
Being in the physical presence of a living Master and fully immersing yourself in the energy field of Satsang is a powerful opportunity. The Satsangs are free and open to all, and it is not possible to reserve seating in advance. Please see the Schedule section below for more information about the daily entrance flow.
Watching online via live Internet broadcast
If you are unable to attend physically at Rishikesh, joining via live Internet broadcast is an excellent alternative. You can watch the live broadcasts and the recordings on Mooji TV. For Mooji there is no separation, no distance to those joining online and he sees absolutely no hindrance or disadvantage to your awakening in attending in this way.

The most important thing in life is to wake up to who you truly are. You are not merely a personal being; you are the living spirit of Truth. You are the light of consciousness revealing all. You are the perceiving presence devoid of desire and attachment. You are the wisdom and love that shines from the source of existence. You are unborn Awareness.
