VISHWA NIRMALA DHARMA
Worldwide non-profit organization.
Introduction
Sahaja Yoga International (also known as Vishwa Nirmala Dharma) is a worldwide non-profit organization, dedicated to the emancipation of humanity and resolution of its problems from within. Its main teaching is Sahaja Yoga, a revolutionary method of meditation founded in 1970 by Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi, Nobel Peace Prize nominee and acclaimed as one of the most significant voices on spirituality and world peace today. The main principles on which Sahaja Yoga International is based are morality, spirituality, mutual help in our evolution, search for truth, and healing our problems using our inner potential on an individual and collective level.
International projects
Among many international projects, Shri Mataji has created in her compassion and concern to alleviate human suffering several NGOs (Non-Governmental Organizations). To mention a few:
• An international hospital in Bombay and Noida, India to help patients all over the world get a chance to cure themselves through Sahaja Yoga methods. This hospital has been producing successful results in curing many incurable diseases like high blood pressure, epilepsy, multiple sclerosis, and more.
• An international cancer research center in Bombay that studies the effects of Sahaja Yoga on cancer.
• An international music school in Nagpur to promote classical music.
• A center for destitute and homeless people in Delhi, to provide shelter and also to help them become better individuals through the process of Sahaja Yoga (view article).

How Sahaja Yoga helps communities.
Through the inner transformation and collective consciousness achieved in Sahaja Yoga, the individual becomes spontaneously integrated with the society and environment and one’s actions become harmonious with the whole. Some of the proven benefits of Sahaja Yoga are listed below:
• healthy, drug-free life (active medical research on Sahaja Yoga is conducted in countries like England, India, Romania, Russia, Australia)
• stress reduction, inner peace, balance
• developing full potential and personal growth, flourishing skills and talents, self-esteem, and confidence
• morality, ethics, righteousness, and dropping bad habits follow as a byproduct of the transformation in one’s awareness brought by the regular practice of meditation
• improved family life, work environment, relationships with others, and communication skills
• cities like Togliatti (Russia) where Sahaja Yoga is practiced en-masse, in schools, at work, etc. have an incredibly low crime rate
