Kids Satsang: She also conducts a weekly telephone “satsang” for kids ages 7-14. In these satsangs, in addition to teaching the kids to have a personal relationship with God, whom they call Bhagwanji, she also teaches them life skills that help them to effectively deal with day to day issues that they face in school and in their life in general. The kids also learn some mantras and chants. Each satsang is accompanied by a story to illustrate the topic of the day. Children love stories and remember well the teachings conveyed through stories. If you would like your child to participate in these live,satsangs please email Dr. Bhargava at
