These saints spread the meditation teachings to common masses, was only available to a few privileged earlier. In this century, Sant Sawan Singh Ji Maharaj, Sant Kirpal Singh Ji Maharaj and Sant Darshan Singh Ji Maharaj carried the teachings for decades and spread it to the west and other parts of the world. Millions all around the world, regularly meditate in the satsangs organized by the organization.
The technique is a natural method not involving any rigorous postures. It involves concentration of attention at a point in the body known as the third eye, or the seat of the soul, located between and behind the two eyebrows. By concentration on this point, one comes in contact with the inner light and sound.

The organization has centers all around the globe and it is offering similar programs in the Twin Cities as well. Although Sant Mat was born centuries ago in India, it is in many ways an ideal spiritual path for the modern seeker. Sant Mat couples a powerful meditation practice with a dynamic, inclusive, positive way of living.
People new to Sant Mat often say they were attracted by its simplicity, integrity, and effectiveness in fostering real spiritual growth. Sant Mat views the world's great spiritual traditions as so many branches of the same divine tree rooted in one Divinity.
That's why Sant Mat encourages us to remain in our own religions. But while Sant Mat respects all faiths, it stresses that religion has two dimensions - outer and inner. Sant Mat focuses on the inner - the deep spiritual essence known as mysticism. Mysticism looks beyond rites, rituals, and scriptural knowledge to pursue spiritual realization as a matter of first-hand inner experience.
