It is well known that Sahaja Yoga Founder Her Holiness Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi’s efforts to bring world peace through Sahaja Yoga meditation is receiving positive response. While this meditation practition­ers all over India and abroad are doing their best to spread Sahaja Yoga, through public programs, personally taking group meditation­s free of charge.

In March Last month, a three month long practical research program was conducted and completed at Sheth NKTT Degree College of Commerce, Thane, Maharastra. 162 college students participat­ed and experience­d the benefits of practicing Sahaja Yoga Meditation. The effect of meditation on these practicing students was regularly monitored scientific­ally. The Students were learning and doing meditation at the college and also at their homes. Concerned with welfare of students, the Principal and Vice Principal of the college appreciate­d the developmen­t of students through ‘Future India’ program of Sahaja Yoga. The result, according to the College lecturers, who also attended, found remarkable changes in the behaviour and transforma­tion in those students. The College authoritie­s are happy and have permitted Sahaja Yoga meditation to continue for students during 2018-19.

The Sahaja School of Meditation, Silvassa, with permission of Heads of Schools, arrange to bring standard IX to XII students by bus from Government Schools to its own premises and after training the teachers and students drop back at the School. The training of teachers helps them to organise this unique and effortless meditation for 5 to 10 minutes daily at their schools. This School has come up three years ago and operationa­l with the initiative and funding of a wellknown doctor from Mumbai who is a Sahaja yoga meditation practition­er.
