Bahrain Satsangh

Bahrain is a small island in the Arabian Gulf. Bahrain Satsangh is a non-profit Hindu organization formed 19 years ago to embrace spirituality as a way of life. Bahrain Satsangh is now a mature International group with several satsanghs operating as far and wide as Singapore, Australia, India, Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Sharjah, and Canada.

Our Satsangh spreads the message of the Lord contained in the Hindu scriptures such as Bhagavad-Gita, Srimad Bhagavatam, the Upanishads, Vivekacudamani, Panchadasi and Jivan Mukti Viveka, to name a few. In addition, we help perform Hindu pujas, marriages etc. Bahrain Satsangh also undertakes several forms of charities. The beneficiaries of the charity are Goshalas, Schools, Orphanages etc., operating across India. As a principle the corpus of the Charity is fully funded by the members of Satsangh and has so far operated without any external aid.

Our mission is to propagate the divine message of Bhagavad-Gita and to this end, in the last twelve months, we have already distributed Bhagavad-Gita books and other scriptures worth US$ 5,000. These are mainly published by the Gita Press, Gorakhpur and Ramakrishna Mission.

We are convinced beyond all doubt that weekly Satsanghs or weekly prayer meetings on a larger scale - for all Hindus are imperative to instill Scriptural knowledge on a lasting basis. Having 100,000 Satsanghs is one of our visions and we are determined and focused in pursuing this objective. We believe that team effort and association of like-minded organizations could help foster and instill a sense of belonging to this great religion, in the minds of the masses thereby passing on this great tradition to future generations. Reaffirmation of faith and conviction in our religion is the order of the day and we need to take cues from other religions in this respect.

In the light of the above, we are embarking upon an ambitious project of creating awareness of Gita and other Hindu scriptures amongst the masses. We feel that it is the will of the lord that we came across information about your activities. We are pleasantly surprised to see that many of our key aims appear to coincide with those of yours such as making the Gita available in various places such as Hotel rooms, Hospitals etc. Currently, we have targeted placing the books in 300,000 rooms in over 1,000 hotels in India in a phased manner.

To enable the recipients to appreciate such profound scriptural texts, in future, we also intend to re-design some of these books in a manner that would make them appealing and user friendly even to a casual reader.


Hari OM!
