[2] At present Satsang has more than two thousand branches located in India, Bangladesh, Burma, Europe, Middle East, Africa and America.

[6] Anukulchandra Chakravarty (1888–1969) a physician, a philosopher, a guru and the founder of Satsang, was born in the Himaitpur village of Pabna district of British India which is now a part of Bangladesh.

As a young medical student in Calcutta, Anukulchandra started serving and treating the slum dwellers in 1911.

[6] Anukulchandra Chakravarty's service to the people as a doctor, his speaking in tongues in a state of trance as well as his advice and guidance to his followers helped him secure a position as a religious leader.

It is a non-sectarian organization as revealed by the Guru himself in his hand written book Satyanusaran originally in Bengali and later translated in to many languages including English as 'The pursuit of Truth'.

[8] As a result, people from all faiths including Hindus, Sikhs, Christians and Muslims came to Thakur Anukulchandra and accepted him as their realized guide, Guru and living ideal, without diluting their identities.

Satsang at present is one of the fastest & largest growing spiritual lineage in the world with more than 160 million members across the globe.

Satsang does not think in terms of Pakistan, Hindustan, Russia, China, Europe or America either- Satsang wants man, every individual of mankind— whether Hindu, Muslim, Christian or Buddhist or whatever— to be gathered in His Name at the clarion call of Panchabarhi* in pursuit, nurture and fulfilment, in elevating offering, in mutual compassionate co-operation and in an uplifting, efficient and industrious go of life so that everybody by proper work earning their food and clothing can survive, maintaining distinctiveness of being and moving in the way of becoming, so that everyone can understand that everyone belongs to him, so that no one can think that he is helpless, penniless, shelter less, so that every single person can say courageously with active co-operative zeal of love "I am everyone's and everyone is mine".

Satsang wants the greatest co-operation between states so that there is not the least flaw in anyone's existential becoming and so that each and everyone can move on freely in this world in one accord with self-elevating, efficient and active, progressive go of service, growing in integration that is mutually fulfilling— being illuminated with the inspiration that cultivates the good, with an eye to fulfilling that Ideal man being meaningful in that unparalleled One.

The activities of Satsang covers the following areas:[11][circular reference] Satsang has its own administrative office, free community kitchen (Anandabazar), charitable hospital, school, college, publishing house, pharmaceutical laboratory, engineering and mechanical workshop, carpentry unit, garage, Goshala (cowshed) and museums etc.

Other festivals related to the life events of Thakur Anukulchandra, Ritwik conferences are also being celebrated.
