La Sangat- Congregación espiritual

ਸਾਧਸੰਿਗ ਚਕੂ ੇ ਭੈ ਫੇਰ ॥੧॥ 
saaDhsang chookay bhai fayr. 
In the Saadh Sangat, the Company of the Holy, the fear of reincarnation is gone.  
En la Sadh Sangat, la verdadera congregación de santos, el miedo a la reencarnación parte.

Guru Arjun, fifth Gurusikh



The word Sangat is the Punjabi form of the Sanskrit term “sangti”, which means company, fellowship or association. In Sikh vocabulary, the word has a special connotation; it stands for a body of men and women who meet religiously to practice and to act to further their spiritual path, especially in the presence of the Guru Granth Sahib. Two other expressions in common use that carry the same connotation are; “Sadh Sangat” (fellowship of the seekers of truth) and “Sat Sangat”. “Sat” means “true”, so “Sat Sangat” means “True company or True congregation”. The word sangat has been in use since the time of Guru Nanak (1469-1539). In those days of Guru Nanak and also those of his nine successors, sangat referred to the Sikh brotherhood established in or belonging to a particular locality.
