Satsang with Shambhavi

by Shambhavi Sarasvati

#32 Hinduism
▼8 today

Join Shambhavi Sarasvati for a weekly exploration of self-realization, death, love, devotion, and waking up while living in a messy world. Satsang is an ancient spiritual practice from India. It means "being in reality together." During satsang, people gather with a teacher to learn, ask questions, find community, chant and sing. Shambhavi gives satsang in Portland, Oregon and elsewhere. The dharma talks offered here are recordings of the live satsang. Shambhavi is the spiritual director of Jaya Kula, a nonprofit organization. Her training is in the View and practices of Trika Shaivism from Kashmir and the Dzogchen tradition of Tibet. She is a householder sannyasini and a devotee of Anandamayi Ma. Visit jayakula.org for her full teaching schedule and more information. Shambhavi's books include Mother Poems and A Crack in Time (2025), The Reality Sutras: Seeking the Heart of Trika Shaivism (2018), Tantra: the Play of Awakening (2012), Pilgrims to Openness: Direct Realization Tantra in Everyday Life (2009), Returning (2015), and No Retreat: Poems on the Way to Waking Up (2016). All of Shambhavi's books are available on Amazon.

What listeners say

A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.

Shambhavi’s satsungs have given me solace during these unprecedented times. With humor and joy, she dispenses practical and engaging advise that addresses exactly what I need to hear.

Always Seeking The Long Way · Oct 2020

Shambhavi is incredible. She has helped my spiritual practice immensely, just through this podcast. She's so smart, insightful, real, and pushes people to get past their attachment to suffering and limitations. (side note: I wish that iTunes was better at featuring and promoting and organizing podcasts, this would appeal to so many millions of people but it's probably getting buried in deep nooks as if it's too esoteric or something.)

Campo champo · Sep 2017

Shambhavi's satsangs are the real deal, wisdom words born from experience and an incredible amount of heart. Listening to these podcasts while I'm out and about help me remember that I want my orientation to life to be with my heart before all else. She is real, relevant, honest...and hilarious!

SomuchMa · Jan 2017

Shambhavi's wisdom always seems to speak to me at the right time. She has a graceful way of expressing herself directly yet with delight. I listen on the go and repeat them often. In today's stressful times and uncertainty, there is an inner calmness & clarity, after I hear her wise words.
