Frequently asked questions

What is a Samagam (Spiritual Convention)?

The Sant Nirankari Mission organizes Samagams worldwide, which are large gatherings where individuals come together to deepen their understanding of spirituality, cultivate human values, and expand their capacity to share love with the world. Such events also attract those who wish to learn more about the Knowledge of God (Brahm Gyan), which the Mission offers.

Samagams will be taking place in numerous locations across North America, Europe, and the UK from June 19, 2026 to August 9, 2026. Each Samagam will be blessed by Her Holiness Satguru Mata Sudiksha Ji Maharaj, who is the spiritual leader of the Sant Nirankari Mission. Satguru Mata Ji will be sharing a profound message of love, peace and oneness as she guides all present to introspect and deepen their "journey within".

The overarching theme of this series is Aatm Manthan, the Journey Within. Through wisdom talks, songs, poetry, and multimedia art, the Journey Within is towards our essential and enduring nature. It is the harmonizing of thoughts, behavior, and intentions to rediscover our inner stability and joy.

The Samagams are completely free of charge to attend at all locations. This includes access to the main proceedings, the exhibition, and the vegetarian meals and refreshments provided.

We welcome attendees of all ages, abilities and backgrounds. However, the main proceedings can be 2 hours in length and require attendees to sit reasonably quietly, to not disrupt the experience for others.

Depending on the location of the Samagam, proceedings will be conducted in English, German, French, Italian, or Spanish. Additionally, languages from India, such as Hindi, Punjabi, Sindhi, Marathi, and Gujarati will be used. Rest assured, large LED screens with subtitles will offer a running translation, wherever the local population may need support to follow any particular presentation. Please ask at the information desk for headsets, which may be available in some locations, that offer live audio translations and support with hearing impairments.

You are very welcome to invite friends, colleagues or family members to the Samagam. Please register attendance by way of email to [email protected] and we can ensure seats are reserved for you together.

The Samagams will feature a publications booth and information desk. A variety of souvenirs, photographs, and memorabilia will be available for purchase on a not-for-profit basis.

The Knowledge of God (Brahm Gyan) is an intuitive and deeply personal experience of divinity, regarded by the Sant Nirankari Mission as the supreme purpose of human life. You may register to join a “Knowledge of God” session upon arrival or by emailing [email protected] in advance. Please be assured that we do not try to convert anyone’s faith or religious convictions. The Sant Nirankari Mission is a spiritual movement, and the Knowledge of God is a sublime gift that Satguru Mata Ji offers freely to anyone who seeks it. If you wish to explore what Brahm Gyan is and how it might impact your life, we can arrange this as part of your visit, leaving you to decide if it is an experience you would like to have.
