“WORLD MEDITATION DAY” PROCLAIMED BY THE UNITED NATIONS
ALL MEDITATORS INVITED TO JOIN ON 21 DECEMBER
All 193 member states of the UN General Assembly have unanimously proclaimed 21 December 2024 to be the very first “World Meditation Day.”
Tony Nader, MD, PhD, the globally recognized Vedic scholar and successor to the renowned Maharishi Mahesh Yogi as world head of the Transcendental Meditation® organization, has been invited by the core group of organizing UN member states as the only keynote speaker at the UN’s official celebratory event in New York City on 20 December.
The next day, Saturday, 21 December, Dr. Nader will lead a non-stop program of meditation that will circle the Earth.
Dr. Nader says, “We want to celebrate the UN’s timely initiative. Millions of meditators are expected to participate.”
“ALL MEDITATORS INVITED TO MEDITATE AT 8:00 AM AND 5:00 PM YOUR LOCAL TIME
Dr. Nader explains how this very first global meditation will work:
“I invite meditators in all parts of the world to begin your morning meditation at 8:00 AM local time on Saturday, 21 December. As the globe turns, hour by hour, time zone by time zone, each of us will start our morning meditation at 8:00 AM. And, later the same day, each of us will start our evening meditation at 5:00 PM local time.
“This first global meditation will begin in New Zealand at 8:00 AM. An hour later, in the next time zone to the west, others will begin their morning meditation. And so on around the world. Then, at 5:00 PM, the world’s meditators will follow the same procedure in beginning their afternoon meditation. By including both morning and evening meditations on 21 December and moving westward hour by hour with the Sun, ‘World Meditation Day’ will actually last for 32 ½ hours, concluding after 5:00 PM in Hawaii.
“Whatever your meditation practice, I urge you to join. Governments, spiritual leaders, practitioners of any meditation practice—all are invited to participate. And please share this with your friends and on your social media:
