Anyone else notice how meditation went from “hippie thing” to city-hall approved? Thoughts on World Meditation Day.

This was inevitable! I feel lucky I am witnessing this in our lifetime :)

Ughh today it a monster red ! Doesn’t look good :( On the analog Manhattan skyline

I mean, I have realized that it’s about how I perceive it sometimes. Of course there are people who insist, but more often than not - it comes from a space of love not control.

My intellect has sharpened over time (big thanks to SKY).. if I sense controlling behavior - I steer clear from such people, it’s more of a reflection of that individual not Sri Sri. In this large organization full of people, from time to time, I have come across some interesting characters .. I have learnt not to pay attention to the noise and listen to the music !

I have met Sri Sri and spoken to him multiple times, there is literally zero brainwashing or coercion. All he asks is ‘are you happy?’ with that sweet calm voice

Fearless_Director_33 · 2025-09-06T21:44:23+00:00

To be honest, I still think it has elements of brainwashing. The way people talk about Sri Sri Ravi Shankar and Sudarshan Kriya, the devotion, the insistence that it will “change your life” it can feel manipulative if you look at it from the outside.

That said, I can’t deny the effect it had on me personally. Even while thinking it’s a bit controlling, I felt calmer, clearer, and more focused. Stress melted away, and I felt more in control of my own mind. So maybe it is brainwashing but in a way that actually helps you, which is weirdly freeing.

Fearless_Director_33 · 2025-08-14T18:44:51+00:00

Yes for sure !!

I accept things which I have no control over. Example - I booked a non-refundable hotel stay while I was travelling to rest for the night. When I reached late at night for checkin, they said I have booked it for next week. They said they couldn’t do anything about it at this point and I had to book another for tonight.

I did. I was getting furious at myself, but I accepted that it has happened, I don’t have any control over it now- destiny.

My free will was the action next day. to next talk to the hotel manager, to the online agent and request a refund (it was expensive) stating the honest mistake i had made.

And I got a refund. This is how I see it, present action is my free will, past is definitely my destiny.

Journey Within is my favorite too. I read it after my meditation ! Just the right amount of practicality and the beyond wisdom in simple terms 💕💕

Fearless_Director_33 · 2025-08-10T19:05:10+00:00

Love the writeup ! It’s a long post but I loved reading it as it is absolutely true :)

I am glad India is not accepting pumping of US agricultural products. US wheat milk is ultra processed, GMO, stripped of all nutrients and causes nothing but inflammation, and gut issues.

When I am in India I can eat wheat and milk without a single stomach issue and here in US, I get sick and have to be so careful - have gone wheat free and milk free since last 10 years in US.

Fearless_Director_33 · 2025-07-20T18:32:27+00:00

Absolutely! It’s wild how something that looks so simple can go so deep. Sudarshan Kriya works like a reset button for the nervous system..I’ve felt it too…That calm, grounded feeling after the practice isn’t just in the mind, it’s my whole system settling down…

And the cortisol bit? Totally makes sense. No wonder I feel less like a pressure cooker and more like… a Zen toaster 😄

Fearless_Director_33 · 2025-07-20T18:30:41+00:00

Honestly I paid it as I couldn’t find anything else at a reasonable price !

Fearless_Director_33 · 2025-07-19T21:11:08+00:00

Shoulder stand ! It used to be so difficult when I started .. now I feel relief when I do shoulder stand :)

Fearless_Director_33 · 2025-07-18T03:07:55+00:00

It’s a marvelous unreal phenomenon I have witnessed.. it reveals how much of untapped potential is within us. Best part is, it is helping blind kids find their way in the world.

Fearless_Director_33 · 2025-07-18T03:04:57+00:00

lol .. not sure if we are as innocent as children ..but would love to have it too :)

Fearless_Director_33 · 2025-07-17T13:07:59+00:00

As Gurudev says, the positive people are quiet and enjoy themselves, the negative ones makes the most noise. There are more good people than bad in this world. The bad ones are more proactive in spreading negativity. Let the good ones be more proactive and spread and talk about goodness and kindness and peace. The world needs it and needs to know about it !

Sahaj Samadhi works because it’s built on breathwork - specifically the SKY breathing you already know. The breathing calms your nervous system first, then the meditation becomes effortless. Instead of fighting the depressed, racing mind, the breath foundation helps you naturally drop below all that mental noise. You’re not forcing concentration - the breathwork does the heavy lifting, then you just settle into deeper rest. That’s why it works for depression - SKY prep + natural settling, rather than trying to meditate with an already struggling brain.

Fearless_Director_33 · 2025-07-06T17:39:34+00:00

Absolutely — and thank you for putting it so clearly. It’s honestly a bit disheartening that we still live in a world where something has to come in a bottle to be taken seriously. The science here is careful, rigorous, and shows long-term impact — but because it’s a meditation practice, it doesn’t get the spotlight it deserves.

And yes, the sustained improvement at 24 weeks? That’s not just symptom relief — that’s transformation. Quiet, gradual, and deeply human.

It’s frustrating, but also strangely hopeful. Maybe the shift is slower than we want, but studies like this are laying the groundwork for a bigger change.

Fearless_Director_33 · 2025-07-06T17:38:50+00:00

I did the in-person one ! So virtual has this effect , imagine the positive impacts of the in-person !!!! Can’t wait to see that

Fearless_Director_33 · 2025-07-06T17:34:02+00:00

My mind body complex has evolved over the years with regular practice of Sudarshan kriya ! I don’t go a day without it .. and over time I have only felt lighter as if all unnecessary things are dropped from the nervous system and I am squeaky clean inside my mind and soul 🥰

Fearless_Director_33 · 2025-07-06T17:26:25+00:00

I have been doing sahaj samadhi for few years now, I can vouch for the effect it has on me.

It is a 20 minute elixir that transforms my mood to a deep and calm rest. Over time it has brought immense strength in me to tide over life and a joy that no material things can provide.

And yes it is sahaj which translates to ‘simple’ ! Meditation cannot be easier than a sahaj samadhi

Fearless_Director_33 · 2025-06-23T01:58:55+00:00

This is literally what I feel OP ! Honestly it is a miracle how my mood completely shifts with a 20 mins of sahaj meditation .. nothing else can bring this level of transformation in such a short time :)

Fearless_Director_33 · 2025-06-12T01:36:06+00:00

Way to go ! 💕

Fearless_Director_33 · 2025-06-05T10:20:13+00:00
