Satsangh Programmes

Weekly discourses are held every saturday and sunday. Though mostly in Telugu for the benefit of the local population, sometimes it is also held in English. The focus is typically on Spiritual Self Development - more in light of the spiritual experiences of Sri Ramakrishna, Sri Sharada Devi as well as Swami Vivekananda. Most of these talks are delivered by the Monks of the Ramakrishna Order. Sometimes eminent scholars are also invited.

Monks of the Ramakrishna Order deliver discourses in Telugu and English in the nearby institutions (educational and otherwise) on invitation, in the Kadapa Town as well as its suburbs.

You are most welcome to participate in these discourses and benefit from the wisdom shared. Ofcourse you can also be active as a volunteer or as an organizer of these programmes.
