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
