Spread of Spirituality

In the current times due to lack of spiritual practice the sattvikta in society has deteriorated tremendously leading to corruption, murder, riots etc. To increase the sattvikta of society thousands of seekers are spreading Spirituality in society sacrificing the body, mind and wealth.

A. Spiritual programmes conducted by the Sanstha and mediums of spreading Spirituality

This is being spread through discourses, satsangs and balsanskar classes (to inculcate values)

1. Discourses

In Bharat and abroad guidance is given through discourses, on spiritual practice for a happy living, spiritual practice for stress-free living, spiritual practice as per Path of Guru’s Grace (Gurukrupayoga), information on Deities such as Shiva, Datta etc. Holy festivals and religious festivities.

Discourses on preserving moral values

Deteriorating moral values is the subject of worry today. Moral values can be preserved easily through the medium of Spirituality. Free discourses on ‘Preserving moral values’ are conducted in schools, colleges and teachers’ training workshops. This discourse also teaches how to change your personality and thought process through spiritual practice.

2. Weekly satsang

More than 1300 satsangs are being conducted in 12 languages in 7 countries.

– Vast spread of Dharmashikshan and not sectarian practice

– Guidance on how to overcome personality defects and ego for a healthy living and for spiritual practice to occur smoothly, and guidance on awakening of spiritual emotion

To increase spiritual practice and for it to occur appropriately guidance given through discourses is insufficient.  Regular satsang is essential for it. On behalf of the Sanstha at more than 1300 venues, satsangs are conducted in Marathi, Hindi, Kannada, Gujarati, English, Malyalam, Telugu etc. free of cost. At these satsangs guidance is given in theory and practical on how to chant as per Dharma and achieve further stages in the Path of Guru’s Grace (Gurukrupayoga), explanation of implied meaning of spiritual quotes and calirification of doubts of seekers on Spirituality and spiritual practice. Seekers are guided on obstacles in spiritual practice. Various opportunities of seva are provided to seekers to ensure spiritual progress and to receive the blessings of a Guru fast through the spread of Spiriutality. As part of protection of the nation and awakening of Dharma different campaigns of social awakening are organised.

3. Balsanskarvarga

Guidance on conduct, overcoming defects and building virtues as per Hindu culture

If good values are inculcated in children then later they develop a virtuous personality. Spiritual practice helps in creating good values in children. More than 500 balsanskarvargas are being conducted on behalf of the Sanstha to teach children the importance of spiritual practice in a simple manner. Balsanskar workshops are also held all over.

12. Creating awareness on Dharma through flex boards

Flex boards of Sanatan imparting education on Dharma serve as a pillar of support in the continuous spread of Dharma. Today due to decrease in sattvikta in society morality has deteriorated. Sattvikta in society can increase only with observance of Dharma. However today the state of Hindus is pitiable, they are not imparted religious education anywhere not even in the temple. To make matters worse aping the West has made Hindus forget their culture. To enable Hindus to receive Dharmashikshan (religious education) easily flex boards on various spiritual actions with explanation of the science underlying it, on different topics such as how to take darshan of a Deity in a temple, importance of chanting, Ganapati, Shiva, Navaratri, marriage, post-death rites such as shraddha etc. are created by the Sanatan Sanstha, in Marathi, Hindi, Gujarati, Kannada etc. and are permanently installed in public places such as temples, wedding halls, crematoriums etc.
