Saturday Satsang at MA Center Chicago
Next event (Weekly): Oct 24, 2026 4:00pm-7:30pm
Amma says, "Satsang has the power to turn our minds towards good thoughts. Children, don't waste any opportunity to participate in satsang."
Join us Saturdays in the MA Center Chicago satsang hall for a community satsang, which starts with group archana at 4pm, and is typically followed by bhajans, arati, and meditation from 5pm onward. A wholesome vegetarian meal will be available afterward for a modest donation.
During satsang, we pray for those in need. Learn how to add a name to the MACC prayer list here.
If you have any questions, please email macenterchicago@ammagroups.org.

The purpose of Yoga is for our inner well-being. It does not belong to any particular faith or religion. It was passed on to us by the ancient seers for the well-being of humanity. Yoga helps us reconnect with nature and eventually become one with God. - Amma
