Indian techniques of Yog asana is associated with nature. Our Ayurveda is also associated with the’ panch-bhootas’. We find integrity through yoga and meditation. Dhyan is to bring integrity and Heartfulness is the ultimate example of brining integrity between spirit and nature. ‘Ek ped maa ke naam’ is one of the policy interventions to save the environment and save energy. A symbiotic relationship with nature is the core value of India which is perfectly being demonstrated by Heartfulness.”Ram Nath Kovind, added his thoughts on his association with Chariji and Daaji as a form of divine blessing.

If the world has to shine, India is to be the spiritual centre of the world. Spirituality makes us experience what Godliness is, what can strengthen one’s inner harmony and that becomes our navigation guide from within the heart. The promise of Sahaj Marg is not to make disciples but Masters. The heart must be sensitized even before contemplation. The differences among us must come together – compounding of individual unity and learning how to interact harmoniously with each other, ultimately uniting with the Ultimate. If you can’t love another human being, you cannot love God. Consciousness can develop can be refined, can be purified. Practice of Dhyan is the only way to purify consciousness. We should not miss a single element of our practice. Group Satsang, in-person Satsang are very crucial. Daaji also added that Kanha Shanti Vanam is to begin a skilling centre across various skills – from farming to plumbing to carpentry and more apart from a university which will focus on Agriculture, horticulture and education.”Revered Daaji received a standing ovation for his tremendous work and the massive revolution in areas of spirituality, environment and more.
