INVITED AREA – All residents of the United States, Mexico, Caribbean, South America and Central America are invited to attend Master's Satsang Program in Fayetteville.
Residents of these countries may not attend Master's Satsang Programs in Canada.
SATSANG PROGRAM – There will be a Satsang Program beginning at 10:00 am.
ARRIVAL TIME – Please do not arrive at the site prior to 6:30 am. Earlier arrival may cause safety and traffic hazards. There will be no facilities available for the comfort of the sangat until the gates open. Please give your kind understanding and allow proper time for sevadars to arrive and prepare the site. Please follow instructions that may be given by local law enforcement in a respectful manner. No one will be admitted to the Satsang Hall until the posted opening time of 6:30 am. In order to be fair to those who arrive at the scheduled time, a random line selection system for entering the Satsang Hall will be implemented.
SEATING – The sangat must be seated by 45 minutes before the start of satsang. People who would like to be seated together should arrive together. Reserving or holding seats for others will NOT be permitted. For the safety and comfort of all, please cooperate with sevadars. You may bring a cushion, but no seating that contains a metal frame.
SIMULTANEOUS TRANSLATIONS – There will be simultaneous translation from Punjabi/Hindi into English and from English into Spanish. A designated seating area in the Satsang Hall with headphones has been arranged for this purpose. Please note that there is limited seating in this area so seating will be available on a first-come, first-served basis.
QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS – Those who wish to ask a question of the Master will be selected through a random drawing each day before satsang. The Question and Answer Selection Area will open at 6:30 am and close at 8:00 am after which the selection will take place. If you wish to ask a question, find your seat and then come to the Question and Answer Selection Area located at Entrance 2. If you are not selected you must return to your seat. Once the selection is complete, no one may join the question and answer line.

Taking notes and passing them around to others by any means, including the internet, is strongly discouraged.
