ARA------------------------------A *Satsang* (spiritual gathering) was organized by the Maharshi Sadguru Sadaphal Deo Vihangam Yoga Sansthan at the Bhojpur District Satsang Bhavan, located at Maharaja Hata, Lane No. 2. Shri Krishna Prasad conducted the proceedings. The event commenced with a *bhajan* (devotional song) by Kiran Pandey: "Guru seva dharma bada bhai, jaase mukti-bhakti gayi paayi" (Service to the Guru is the supreme duty, through which liberation and devotion are attained).

Saroj Devi sang, "Guru ji hamare ho, bhavsagar naiya paar karo" (Oh my Guru, ferry my boat across the ocean of worldly existence).

Runni Devi sang a beautiful *bhajan*—"Chunariya mein daag kaha se laagla..." (Where did the stain appear on my veil? There was no mother-in-law or sister-in-law, no brother-in-law, nor a child in my lap—so where did this mark come from?)—which made the devotees present sway with devotion.

Rajvansh Singh remarked that Kabir Sahib descended upon this earth for the salvation of living beings.

Deputy Secretary Yogendra Singh (alias Tunnu Singh) stated that purity holds the highest place in a spiritual life.

District Secretary Vijay Pandey said that we should all engage in service activities directed by the *Ashram*; only then will spirituality truly manifest in our lives.

Umesh Kumar, Secretary (Patna West), stated that a *Satsang* focused on *Brahmavidya* (divine knowledge) is extremely rare. *Satsang* is the only means to ferry souls across the ocean of worldly existence. The essence of the *Sadguru* transcends birth and death. The knowledge of Vihangam Yoga is wondrous and divine. He announced that the *Prakatya Diwas* (manifestation day) of the eternal *Sadguru* Kabir Sahib is to be celebrated on the holy grounds of Swarved Mahamandir Dham in Umraha, Varanasi, and invited everyone to attend. He emphasized that for upliftment in life, one must adhere to the *Sadguru's* commands and rules, while embracing service, *Satsang*, and *Sadhana* (spiritual practice).

Key contributors to the success of the program included Bhojpur District Consultant Deepnarayan Prasad, Media In-charge Suresh Kumar, Upendra Yadav, Mantosh Singh, Amarendra Srivastava, Radheshyam Tiwari, Ara Sub-division Coordinator Reena Gupta, Rita Devi, Chanda Devi, Prabhavati Devi, Urmila Devi, Sangeeta Devi, Baby Devi, and Pushpa Devi.
