What we’re about
"Unless you have peace within yourself you cannot create peace outside."
"You cannot know the meaning of your life until you are connected to the Power that created you."
-- Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi, Founder of Sahaja Yoga Meditation
*****
Sahaja Yoga brings meditation into the lives of ordinary people who seek a meaningful spiritual experience in their often hectic daily life. The state of meditation is attained through a spontaneous awakening of the Kundalini, a dormant spiritual energy inside every human being. Once awakened, the Kundalini serves as a boundless source of a peaceful and balancing force. "Through this process an inner transformation takes place by which one becomes moral, united, integrated and balanced," states Sahaja Yoga's official website (www.sahajayoga.org).

Sahaja Yoga Meditation originated in India and is taught in over 100 countries.
The meaning of Sahaja is "born within", "spontaneous", "effortless" and "natural". The meaning of the Sanskrit word Yoga is "union". Hence the meaning of the name Sahaja Yoga is essentially one's very own spontaneous union and connection with the Spirit and the all-pervading Energy that is all around us. It is a technique of meditation which is simple and natural, yet deeply profound.
Classes are always free of charge based on the principle that inner peace is each and every human being's birthright. We are a not for profit group of volunteers established in BC since 1981. Sahaja Yoga was founded by Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi in 1970.

Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi quietly transformed lives. For more than forty years, she travelled internationally, offering free public lectures and the experience of Self-Realization to all. She taught the meditation practice to firmly establish and deepen this inner transformation of human beings.
We wish to acknowledge that we are living and meditating on the traditional territories of Vancouver Island's Indigenous peoples.
