Discourse & Satsangs
The core of Brahmavidya dissemination mission of NAT and CIRDs consists of Discourses and Satsangs conducted by Poojya Swamiji and his sannyasin disciples Swami Nirviseshananda Tirtha and Ma Gurupriya (in person as well as online).
Generally there are two annual programmes in CIRDs and other cities in India and abroad – one during the visit of Poojya Swamiji and Ma, and the other during the visit of Nutan Swamiji. Programmes conducted during Poojya Swamiji’s visit are called Jnana Yajna, and during Nutan Swamiji’s visit are called Sadhana Shibiram.
