It is fascinating how accessible the path to realisation has become today through spiritual blogs and videos. Recently, I was wishing to be a part of the Satsang from a truly realised master. People have traveled great distances to participate in sessions led by figures like Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj and Sri Ramana Maharshi. With just a few clicks on YouTube, I found myself immersed in Satsangs from decades ago (the late seventies and early eighties) featuring some of the most enlightened souls. Who could have imagined that a simple video recording would benefit millions 35 or even 80 years later? Here’s one such link:

Spiritual Journey with Technology

Without this advancement in technology, the spiritual journey would have been significantly more challenging. One can actually visualise being part of the Satsang through these videos and get the feel of being right there, capturing the mannerism, habits, speech, teachings, and style of the Guru as they were delivered in real time. A person in one corner of the world can now connect with a realised soul and his thoughts thousands of miles away and gain insights. Nowadays, Satsangs are even conducted over Skype—it’s truly remarkable! These recordings can be especially beneficial for those already on the path who understand the importance of pursuing realisation.
