How to Begin Sahaja Yoga
Sahaja Yoga, developed by Mata Nirmala Devi, is considered highly beneficial for mental and physical health. It primarily promotes self-realization, through which the Kundalini is awakened, bringing positive transformation to a person's personality.
*1: Sahaja Yoga*
Sahaja Yoga was founded by Nirmala Srivastava, who is also known as *Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi*. Through Kundalini awakening and thoughtless awareness (Nirvichar Samadhi), Sahaja Yoga helps people attain self-realization and understand themselves better through inner peace. This yoga, developed by Mata Nirmala Devi, is regarded as highly beneficial for both mental and physical well-being.
*2: What is Sahaja Yoga?*
In Sahaja Yoga, meditation is practiced while sitting in a comfortable posture. Those who practice it often experience a cool breeze from the top of the head to the hands during meditation. Sahaja Yoga is not just an exercise but also a technique. It primarily promotes self-realization, through which the Kundalini awakens and enhances an individual's personality.
*3: What Does Research Say?*
Ramesh Manocha, Senior Lecturer in the Department of Psychiatry at the University of Sydney Medical School, found in his research on Sahaja Yoga that people who had practiced Sahaja Yoga for at least two years had better mental and physical health than the general population.
*4: Origin of the Word "Sahaj"*
The word *Sahaj* is derived from two Sanskrit words: *Saha* and *Ja*. *Saha* means "together," and *Ja* means "born." When combined, the word conveys the idea of something natural or innate. Followers of Sahaja Yoga believe that it gives birth to the Kundalini within them and enables its spontaneous awakening. This slideshow explains the benefits of Sahaja Yoga.
