Dear Sahaja Yogis and Sahaja Yoginis of the World,
We are extremely honored to share with you the great news concerning a
dynamic event in the history of Sahaja Yoga world wide. Last week before
She left America, Shri Mataji created a World Council for the Advancement
of Sahaja Yoga. The purpose of this body is to stimulate the further
growth of Sahaja Yoga and to provide support to the efforts of all the
national collectives. The new World Council for the Advancement of Sahaja
Yoga is composed of 19 members designated as world leaders. Advisors of
the Council for financial, legal and communications affairs have also been
identified. The Council is expected to meet twice a year. We are very
energized by this new dynamic impulse to the world wide coordination of
our global sangha. The mission of the Council reads as follows:
"The world is in turmoil today. People everywhere are anxious about the
future. What they need is the soothing, uniting, elevating spiritual
message of Sahaja Yoga. They have to be enabled to experience "Self
Realization" and thereby attain inner transformation. Only then will they
begin to regard all human beings as members of one global family
regardless of their race, culture etc. Only then will they discard hatred
and violence.... Sahaja Yogis have a momentous responsibility at this
crucial time in human history. They have to spread Sahaja Yoga in all the
parts of the world by written and spoken word.... For this purpose, a well
thought out approach is required."
