We often believe that understanding precedes love: “Once I understand you, I will love you.” But life teaches us something far more tender — it is love that enables true understanding.

When we love someone, our vision softens, our judgments melt, and we begin to see things as they are, not as we are, or as we wish them to be. That is the beginning of understanding.

Dear Brothers and Sisters of Tamil Nadu and Kerala,

On this sacred occasion of Puthandu and Vishu, I extend my heartfelt greetings to each one of you. The New Year is a time to turn inward, reflect, and reconnect with the divine presence within. It is an opportunity to start afresh with renewed hearts, pure intentions, and a deeper commitment to our inner journey.

Let this year be filled with simplicity, joy, and harmony in your homes and in your hearts. Let us welcome this new beginning with a meditative heart and resolve to live in tune with nature, with each other, and with the universal rhythm of life.

DAAJI - ‘WOMEN HAVE A SUPER-HEART’
(Feb 21st 2025 Morning, New Delhi)

“Women.. have a Super-Heart. And because of this Super-Heart they are able to perceive things bypassing the faculty of the Mind. This is a God-given gift to every Woman to bypass the Brain and use the Heart. The ability to perceive is very strong in them (Women). So they come up with solutions... (to difficult problems easily).
. Man has to Meditate and become more feminine. (Man’s) Heart has to become more Feminine rather than Egoistic.”

Dear sisters and brothers,

Daaji had earlier proposed to the United Nations and the Prime Minister’s Office to designate Basant Panchami as World Meditation Day. This day, dedicated to Goddess Saraswati—the embodiment of wisdom and knowledge—symbolizes the pursuit of learning, wisdom and enlightenment.

We are now thrilled to announce that the United Nations has officially designated December 21st as World Meditation Day, recognizing the profound benefits of meditation. To mark this occasion, we invite you to join Daaji for a special global meditation event at 9 AM IST (10:30 PM ET) in Kanha Shanti Vanam. This meditation will also be webcast live, enabling us from across the world to join Daaji in meditation.

Additionally, we are delighted to invite all Heartfulness practitioners, along with their families, friends, and acquaintances, to participate in another special meditation event with Daaji. This gathering will be graced by esteemed dignitaries:

Hon. Governor of Telangana, Shri Jishnu Dev Varma
Hon. Chief Minister of Telangana, Shri Revanth Reddy
Deputy Chief Minister of Telangana, Shri Mallu Bhatti Vikramarka
Tourism & Culture Minister of Telangana, Shri Jupally Krishna Rao

Event details:

Date: December 21, 2024
Time: From 4:30 PM IST onward (6 AM ET)
Location: Gachibowli Stadium, Hyderabad

Etymology of Meditation and Dhyana:

Meditation, in its simplest definition, means to think continuously of one thing. However, this definition falls short of conveying the depth and transformative power of the practice. In Sanskrit, the word 'Dhyana' offers a richer understanding.

'Dhi' refers to ultimate wisdom or the illumination of higher intelligence, as invoked in the Gayatri Mantra. 'Yana' means a vehicle. Together, 'Dhyana' represents the process—a vehicle that leads us to divine wisdom and connects us with Divinity itself. It is more than just focused thinking; it is a profound spiritual practice.

As we reflect on our own meditative journeys, we may ask ourselves: Has our practice brought us closer to incremental wisdom? Are we progressing toward the ultimate realization that meditation promises?

Now, progressing beyond our individual meditation journeys, by meditating together, we strengthen the egregore - a collective consciousness of love, peace, and light. The more people who participate, the stronger this positive force becomes, nourishing humanity as a whole. So, let us come together and meditate as one. Invite your family, friends, and colleagues to join this powerful movement and help amplify the energy that heals and uplifts the world.

With heartfelt regards,

The Heartfulness Team
