Its headquarters was established as Satsang Deoghar, Jharkhand (then Bihar) on 2nd September 1946, after Thakur Anukulchandra moved to Deoghar from his birthplace in the Pabna District of East Bengal (now Bangladesh).
At present Satsang has more than two thousand branches located in India, Bangladesh, Burma, Europe, the Middle East, Africa, and America. Those are known as Satsang Vihars and Satsang Kendras.
Thakur Anukulchandra- The Founder
Thakur Anukulchandra, a physician, a philosopher, a guru, and the founder of Satsang, was born on 14 September 1888 in a small village called Himaitpur in the Pabna district of the eastern zone of Bengal which is now in Bangladesh. He was born to Sri. Shibchandra Chakravarty (Shandilya Gotra, Kanyakubja Brahmin) and Manmohini Devi.
As a young medical student in Calcutta, Anukulchandra started serving and treating the slum dwellers in 1911. After six years of study, he came back to Himaitpur and began to practice medicine.
Anukul Chandra was extremely mother-centric, from his early life. His mother remained his guru throughout his life. He was the lover of mankind. Anukulchandra set up an Ashram at Pabna (later it was named Satsang).
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.

Philosophy and Teachings of Satsang
Sri Sri Thakur Anukulchandra’s teachings and philosophy is based on the Being and Becoming of every living creature. According to him, Science and Dharma are not opposed to each other. Dharma is not a miracle but a science-based life formula.
According to him, "Dharma never becomes many. It is always one. There is no variety of it. Views may be many- even as many as there are people. In my opinion, to speak of Hindu Dharma, Christian Dharma, Mohammedan Dharma, Buddhist Dharma etc. is wrong; rather they are so many views"
