Welcome to the San Francisco Satsang

Our satsang family gathers every week for a Monday evening of prayer, chanting, meditation, and devotional song, and serves the city through the beloved ‘Simply Sandwiches’ Mother's Kitchen — feeding hundreds of neighbors each week.

Whether you have known Amma for years or are simply curious, all are warmly welcome to join us.

When we dedicate ourselves solely to the well-being of others, it is our own mind that becomes pure. When you give your friend a bouquet of flowers, you are the one who first enjoys their beauty and fragrance. In the same way, you can derive happiness from selfless acts.

— Amma

Amma encourages devotees to gather regularly, whether weekly at a home or a hall, to sing, meditate, and pray together, and then to share a meal as a spiritual family. It is an atmosphere that steadies the mind, uplifts everyone present, and quietly shapes the children who grow up in it.

Satsang Schedule

Weekly

We gather every Monday, 7:00–9:00 PM, in rotating homes across San Francisco and the Peninsula: opening prayers, the 108 Names of Amma, group meditation, a reading from Amma's books, devotional singing, arati, and prasad. The monthly location schedule is shared by email (there are no satsangs during Amma's North American tour). Everyone is welcome to join our satsang family.

Seva
Children, never waste an opportunity to serve. The entire world looks up to those who have the heart to do selfless service.
