Sahaja Yoga is a meditation method which takes you far beyond your mental, emotional and physical activity and allows you establish a connection with your true self which can be found in every human being. In Sanskrit, Sahaj means “born with” (“Saha” with “ja” born) and Yoga that is “union”. As a consequence, the name is translated as “the union with which we are born”. This union is established between your true self and the omnipresent power that permeates all the elements of life. This can be acquired through a process that awakens a latent energy called “Kundalini” which can be found in every human being. This process is known as “auto-realization”. Once the Kundalini is awakened, the person experiences a marvellous state of “thoughtless awareness” where the mind is in complete silence and simply witnesses the present moment.

Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi is unique in the story of spirituality because she has been the first and only one to have offered the experience of “self-realization” among the masses. She once declared that it is in everyone’s birth right, independently from one’s religion, race, nationality or circumstance, that of receive “self-realization”. She also insisted that one should not pay anything to achieve “the truth” or to acquire the self-knowledge that is why the “realization” has always been offered and will be always offered in a form which is free of charge.

In its worldly spread centres, Sahaja Yoga organizes different activities: not only free weekly programs which both help people preserving their balance in their lives and keeping people away from the negative habits; but also local free programs in rehabilitation centres which have a positive impact on people who suffer from alcohol and drug issues.

It also organizes free meditation sessions in working centres and hospitals, for example: The National Institute of Health (Washington DF); Studio de la Fox (Los Angeles, California), Motorola (Chicago, Illinois), Nortel (Dallas, Texas), Medical centre of Thunderbird Samaritean and the John C. Lincoln Hospital in Phoenix, Arizona, etc. Furthermore, Sahaja Yoga helped many talented artists to enhance their creativity skills though some associations which are mentioned as follows: “The Theatre of The Eternal Values” created for the European Vishwa Nirmal Dharma and the so called “Cine Immaculata studios”. It has also collaborated with the UNESCO in the EEUU for the formation of peace leaders.
