Please intimate the source of information about average attendance of 10-15 lakh devotees in any SATSANG center, since it appears to be quite an exaggerated figure and may be taken as misleading information. As per details available on website of RSSB Wikipedia BEAS langar is capable of feeding up to 300,000 people per meal, 50,000 in a single sitting. This means that the BEAS, being the largest RSSB SATSANG center worldwide, can accommodate not more than 3 lakh disciples in one such SATSANG only. So question of presence of twenty lakh devotees in any SATSANG is quite arbitrary figure and therefore, such misinformation should be avoided,in RSSB Discussion Forum please even if incorporated with good intentions.

Have you ever been to beas.
the data you saw on website it is not a current year data for last some year the data has not been updated on website.
secondly due to rush every visitor does not go to langar b'coz there are more than ten large canteens in the dera and some other canteens including bhojan bhandar open only at satsang time. last year infront of me engineers mapped to enlarge a langar kichten due to shorten and there i did one day sewa in it's construction.

Dear!
It is a question not an answer to my question as to what is the source of your information about attendence of 20 lakh disciples in any SATSANG at Beas as also average attendence having been claimed to be 10-15 lakh or what so ever.
At the same time, as far as I understand RSSB's philosophy, does require that no satsangi should or does go without taking langar if he goes to attend SATSANG at BEAS or else where.

The below lines copied from website www.radhasoamiji.com


'' Dera Baba Jaimal Singh, or simply the ‘Dera’ as it is generally known, is a mini-township with 6,000 residents. Since the Dera is the home of the spiritual leader of the organization, large crowds visit on specially designated weekends to hear his discourses. These crowds average more than 250,000 people daily. The administration has become highly skilled in managing and providing facilities for large numbers of people on a short-term basis. ''

in the fourth line it has written that the daily average is 250000 people.if we multiply than the yearly figure would be above 9 crore. it is the average of babaji's 19 satsang which held in beas which are shown in daily figure.
so the point is this, if in the absence of babaji the crowd reaches around 2.5 lakh than the crowd would be only 3 lakh in babaji's satsang.

Having disputed earlier my reliance on internet infomation, now you have yourself come to agree and rely on the source of information available on internet by interpretting it in your own way. In view of this position, earlier position of arrangement for attendance of maximum of three lakh SATSANGIS at BEAS, on one day, appears to be quite correct.

Anyhow, let you believe the correctness of your information leaving it to the wisdom of others for its analysis and use of this information as they wish for the purpose, someone had raised this topic/question.
