Note: Satsang literally means "Good company, company where the Truth is shared". In practical terms, satsang is an event where spiritual stories are told and shared based on the teaching of Vedic scripture, often mixed with personal stories/experiences derived from the guru (teacher) - disciple (aspirant) relationship, and can include chanting of mantras, kirtans or bhajans (songs with a spiritual meaning/message). They are occasions to uplift the soul.

ABOUT PUJYA MAHARAJ SWAMI AVATAR PURIJI
Swami Avatar Puri’s spiritual journey began at a tender age when he was adopted by his Gurudev, Vishwaguru Mahamandaleshwar Paramhans Swami Maheshwarananda Ji.
He received blessings from H.H. Paramhans Swami Madhavananda Ji, the Guru of Vishwaguruji, who entered Mahasamadhi in 2003.
He began his studies at Shree Vishwa Deep Gurukul Prathmik Vidyalaya, the Yoga in Daily Life primary school in Rajasthan, India. He later attended Sarala Birla Academy, Bangalore, for his high school education. He further studied Sanskrit and Indian philosophy under H.H. Nirvan Pithadhishwar Acharya Mahamandaleshwar Swami Sri Vishokanand Bharti Ji, the Acharya of Maha Nirvani Akhara, based in Haridwar.
In 2013, he was initiated as a sannyasi, becoming the youngest monk under Swami Maheshwarananda Ji and within the Sri Alakhpuriji Siddha Peeth Parampara.
In November 2021, during a sacred puja ceremony attended by Mahamandaleshwars and Acharyas of the Maha Nirvani Akhara, Vishwaguru Mahamandaleshwar Paramhans Swami Maheshwarananda Ji formally appointed Swami Avatar Puri as the spiritual successor of the Sri Alakhpuriji Siddha Peeth Parampara.
Since the succession ceremony in 2021, and under the guidance of Vishwaguruji, Swami Avatar Puri has carried the light of the Parampara across the world — sharing ancient wisdom with a new generation. From satsangs to global gatherings, his journey continues as a living expression of his Guru’s blessings.
