Why is a group of people required for a wedding function or for a religious event like Satsang?

A Satsang is a meeting of a group of people with the common objective of attaining inner happiness or peace through bhajans or devotional songs.

The Sanskrit word ‘Satsang’ literally means gathering together for guidance, mutual support or in search of truth. It may involve talking , eating , working , listening  or praying together.

The word ‘Sang’ means ‘to join’. Not just coming close, but to join. And how do you join? Only with love – this acts as glue. So Satsang is:  ‘Sat’—Divine and ‘Sang’—loving association.  It is one way of acquiring spiritual well-being In Satsang, people realize that it is the Self, communing with Self. Many scientific studies have shown that when meditation or chanting is done in groups it has greater benefit than when done individually. Maharishi Mahesh Yogi once said that if 1 per cent of the population meditates or chants together, it would have a positive influence on the entire society.
