The importance and benefits of Satsang:
What is the benefit of Satsang?
One saint has said, “Every step towards Satsang yields benefits equivalent to a crore Yagnas (sacrificial fires)”. The overall importance of chanting done with effort…

is 5%, that of Satsang and company of saints is 30% and doing Satseva is 100%.
Let us take a look at the benefits of Satsang:
* Satsang is an important medium to learn about Dharma and science of spirituality.
Upon attending Satsang, we get information about Dharma and spirituality that we hardly get anywhere else in the present time. The government of our country too does not impart Dharmashikshan (Dharma-based education) under the garb of secularism. Consequently, howsoever educated we might become in practical terms, due to lack of Dharmashikshan, we are least educated in spirituality. We get Dharmashikshan by attending Satsang and also get information on treading the path of spirituality from qualified seekers and saints.

* Divine souls come to a Satsang at subtle level
Gods, sages, saints and ascetics come to a Satsang at a subtle level and go back showering blessings on the seeker. I will narrate  a few Anubhuti of a seeker in this context. One day, a Satsang was being held in our village. One seeker, Kumari Khushboo felt that Swami Ramkrushna Paramhans was present  and was performing a Yagnya at the time of the Satsang. Another seeker, Lipi Kumari, had another Anubhuti that Kamadhenu (celestial cow) had come down from the sky  to the premises of Satsang and after giving  Gobar (cowdung) and Mutra (urine) in the premise, went inside the Garbha Gruha (sanctum sanctorum) of the temple and after oozing milk from her udder in the plate of the  prasadam , came again to the premises and returned to the heaven. Another foreign seeker, Smt. Yoya, saw some divine men and women sporting Mukuts (crowns) in a Satsang being held in a small village. She did not know that they were Kuldevtas and Kuldevis from Devlok (heaven). She could have their Darshan as her subtle senses had been awakened. As she cannot speak, she drew the pictures of what she saw for everyone to see.
