Satyug Darshan Trust : A Step towards Satyug
Satyug Darshan Trust (Regd.) is an expanded transformation of ‘Mahabir Satsang Sabha’, which originated in a small town called Gojra Mandi, District Layalpur, situated now in Pakistan, in the form of daily ‘Satsang’. After the partition of the country in 1947, the followers of ‘Mahabir Satsang Sabha’, who were spread all over the northern India and later in other parts of the world started ‘Satsang’ at their homes. This continued till 1995 when Satyug Darshan Trust was founded and registered as a Public Trust on 12th July 1995 with the objective of alleviating physical, mental and spiritual sufferings of humanity. Since its inception Trust has undertaken various activities to fulfill its charter which is to infuse consciousness, fraternity and love for humanity by all possible means.
It is universally acknowledged that nature has divided the eternal time into four eras (YUGAS) i.e. ‘Satyug’, ‘Tretayug’, ‘Dwaparyug’ and ‘Kalyug’. The present era is Kalyug. As per the laws of nature, ‘Satyug’ – The Golden Era, is definite to follow ‘Kalyug’. It therefore, becomes necessary that all of us enlighten ourselves about the approaching time i.e. ‘Satyug’, so that we are mentally geared up for this impending change and become competent to mould ourselves accordingly.
The establishment of Satyug Darshan Trust (Regd.) is a step in this direction for realization of such natural objective.

Satyug Darshan Vidyalaya
Satyug Darshan Vidyalaya , a CBSE affiliated co-ed english medium residential-cum-day boarding senior secondary school, was established by the Trust in April 2001. It was a step taken to awaken humanity to the Supreme Truth of life by not only understanding the true worth of worldly knowledge but also understanding the knowledge about the eternal oneness of ‘Jiva’ and ‘Brahm’. This is essential to perceive the reality of our existence and to achieve the goal of our life by harmonizing the spirit of different religions. The main objective of opening this school is to impart such moral values so that all the actions and deeds of the supreme creation of God, i.e. man, remain truthfully supreme for establishment of the atmosphere of peace and harmony in this Universe.

Dhyan Kaksh -The School of Equanimity and Even-sightedness – Symbol of Oneness
In the midst of calm, serene and pollution free campus, the magnificent Dome-shaped, School of Equanimity & Even-sightedness, is an unprecedented and unique architectural marvel, surrounded by a water body.
Main gate of Dhyan Kaksha, is preceded by seven other gates. These seven gates are symbolic of humane virtues i.e contentment, endurance, truthfulness, righteousness, equanimity, selflessness & benevolence respectively. The purpose of these sequential gates is to help a person introspect the level of virtues needed to become a real human being.
As we all know that meditation is the only spiritual tool to liberate the mind from ignorance, illusion and evil instincts so from this school of Equanimity & Even-sightedness, the science of inner dimensions will be taught through the process of meditation i.e. a way by which one could always remain in one’s natural state of pure being in all its splendour.
For the knowledge of all, the school is meant for all, no one has any right on it. Here, there is no master or disciple, neither is any figure or deity to worship. It is the pre-eminent source of light and true knowledge from where the lesson of humanity would be taught to entire human race. The salient feature about this school is that there is no age limit or entry fee, neither there is any restriction based on caste, colour, creed, riches, poverty etc. For Self-Realisation and to become a good human being, one has to shed ignorance acquired through worldly knowledge to accept humanity as basic ‘Dharma’, i.e. an inherent divine virtue. Only such being can gain access to this school. From this school, beings would acquire the skill of Equanimity and Even-sightedness, which is the foundation of constitution of ‘Satyug’, according to which one would be able to learn and practice ‘Sajan-bhaav’ i.e. feeling of oneness towards one and all in their conduct and behaviour. In this way, primordial cultural heritage of India i.e. ‘Satyugian’ morals and code of conduct would be propagated from this school. This would enable beings to live life in unity, love, harmony, fraternity and peace. Besides this, skilful efforts would be made to imbibe contentment & endurance so that the being would be able to follow a path of righteousness and truthfulness selflessly. Most importantly, this school has been established for versatile development of families, societies, countries and world as a whole to achieve happiness, tranquillity and prosperity.
Charity Distribution for needy sections of Society
Trust also undertakes to help the deserving and needy people of the society with regular financial, physical and moral support. For this purpose:-
- Clothes, shawls, sweaters and blankets are distributed at regular interval
- Ration, such as flour, sugar, rice, pulses, tea and oil etc. is distributed on quarterly basis
- Monthly financial assistance is provided to the widows
- Free medical assistance is provided to deserving patients, who can not afford the high cost of treatment
- Arrangement for marriages of poor girls & boys are made so that they can start their married life on a happy note
- Financial help is extended on merit cum means basis to the deserving students for their studies
Spiritual Development
The Trust infuses spiritual enlightenment among its members by way of various kinds of programs and camps, with ‘Satsang’ being the prime among them. Through this process, stress is being laid with reasoning, to switch over to one faith i.e. to hold the values of equanimity and even-sightedness firmly and skillfully. Then practice it on daily basis to attain maturity. This is considered essential to adhere to the principles, as contained in the ‘Granth’, for imbibing strong moral and spiritual values in life. For general information, it is added that ‘Satsang’ is held on every Tuesday and Sunday at ‘Vasundhara’ and its over hundred other branches, spread across the country and abroad.
Besides, ‘Satsang’, the ‘Gade Ka Yagya’ is celebrated in the month of January after observing forty days of worship called as ‘Chalisa’. During these forty days, celibacy and chastity is observed and abstinence from physical and worldly desires is practiced to attain the true knowledge of the Supreme Self. One is required to keep one’s heart and mind in the pure and pious state to become entitled to wear ‘Gada’. This ‘Gada’ is worn on the wrist of the right hand by the deserving persons.
‘Gada’ is the divine ornament/weapon i.e. the mace or club of ‘Lord Shri Vishnu’, which was given by Him as a weapon of peace and power to ‘Lord Shri Hanuman’. The ‘Gada’ acts as a defensive sheath for the wearer as it is not only capable of keeping one’s heart and mind away from lust, anger, greed, attachment and egoism but also to firmly uphold the virtues of equanimity, contentment, endurance, righteousness and truthfulness.
We can say that this ‘Yagya’ is meant to attain a virtue capable of keeping one’s heart and mind free from worldly pleasures and mental disorders and thus firmly uphold human values essential to live peacefully. It is also a firm step towards salvation.
The auspicious day of ‘Akhand Hawan’ is celebrated in the month of February, when each one is supposed to do charity within one’s means and ability and transform oneself to become benevolent.
Lastly, the main congregation is held every year during the month of ‘Chaitra’ (March/April) when the Trust celebrates ‘Ram-Navami’ as ‘Yagya-Utsava’ which continues for four days. During this celebration, thousands of devotees, followers, members and other people from all parts of India and abroad representing all sections of the society attend in order to get spiritually enlightened. On this occasion each one is supposed to assess one’s own past year’s progress independently and identify/understand further changes required to improve oneself to achieve the real goal of life.
Events to convey the message of God -“Let’s march towards Satyug”
In order to spread awareness about the approaching Golden Era and to lead the society in an effective and meaningful manner, the Trust reaches out to the masses through various cultural programs purely based on the themes related to spiritual development and moral upliftment.
