Sahaja Yoga Meditation
Sahaja Yoga is a unique meditation method that enables a spontaneous experience of self-realization — a state of thoughtless awareness, inner silence, and deep peace that unfolds naturally from within.
What is Sahaja Yoga?
Sahaja Yoga is a unique method of meditation founded by Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi in 1970. It involves the awakening of the dormant spiritual energy known as Kundalini, which resides within every human being.
Once awakened, this energy rises through the subtle energy system, resulting in a spontaneous state of meditation and a tangible experience of self-realization.
The word Sahaja means “born with”, and Yoga means “union”. Sahaja Yoga therefore refers to the innate union with the all-pervading power that exists within every individual.

How is Sahaja Yoga Different?
Sahaja Yoga does not require concentration, chanting, affirmations, or rigorous mental discipline. The experience of meditation happens naturally and effortlessly.
It allows the practitioner to go beyond thoughts and experience a state of inner silence, clarity, and balance — without effort.
Sahaja Yoga is practiced free of cost worldwide and empowers individuals to become their own masters through direct experience.
Origins of Sahaja Yoga
Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi, born in 1923 in Chhindwara, India, dedicated her life to awakening the innate spiritual potential of humanity. Observing the deep inner seeking in people, she introduced Sahaja Yoga in 1970 as a means for true inner transformation.
Today, Sahaja Yoga is practiced in more than 95 countries, offering free meditation sessions to millions across cultures, religions, and backgrounds.
